Introduction
The sensors of the TPS product family are a class of
very precise active infrared proximity sensors with
background suppression. Due to their very high
sensitivity, they are able to operate over distances of
up to 2 m for independent targets. The two sensor
beams are in the same housing. This unique
concept allows various applications, such as reliable
object detection, direction recognition of moving
objects,
applications would not easily be possible with two
individual sensors.
The sensing range can be adjusted very precisely
by multiturn potentiometers between 0.3 m and 2 m.
The two integrated status LEDs allow simple trigger
level adjustment.
The detection principle is based on triangulation
technology.
excellent
sensitivity variation between black and white
objects. Therefore, the TPS sensor is independent
to variable ambient light conditions.
The application of multiple (adjacent) TPS sensors
requires only a gap of 0.2 m between the devices
and 0.1 m to the wall (see Figure 6).
The infrared beams are not visible to the
human eye and are completely safe.
