The Phidgets IR Beam Break Proximity Sensor - 30mm is an advanced infrared sensor designed to detect the interruption of an infrared beam between its emitter and receiver. This sensor is capable of detecting both opaque and transparent objects, such as water droplets, provided the beam is sufficiently disrupted. The sensitivity of the sensor can be finely adjusted using a flathead screwdriver, allowing for precise control over its detection capabilities.

This sensor features a 30mm wide sensing gap, making it suitable for a variety of applications where space is a consideration. It is equipped with a green LED indicator that illuminates when the device is powered, and a red LED indicator that lights up when the sensor is triggered. Constructed from durable polycarbonate material, the sensor is designed to withstand challenging environments, with an IP64 rating ensuring protection against dust and water splashes.

The sensor operates within a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and has a maximum current consumption of 200 mA. It includes protection circuitry to guard against reverse polarity and short-circuit conditions. With an operating temperature range from -25 °C to 55 °C and humidity tolerance from 35% to 85% RH, this sensor is versatile for various environmental conditions.
