Keyestudio EASY plug Photo Interrupter Module

Introduction

This is a high performance EASY Plug photo interrupter module.
The upright part on the module combines an infrared light emitting diode and shielded infrared detector.
By emitting a beam of infrared light from one end to another end, the sensor can detect an object when it passes through the beam.
Useful for many applications such as optical limit switches, pellet dispensing, general object detection, etc.
This module needs to be used together with EASY plug control board.


Special Note:
The sensor/module is equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface, compatible with our keyestudio EASY plug Control Board with RJ11 6P6C interface.
If you have the control board of other brands, it is also equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface but has different internal line sequence, can’t be used compatibly with our sensor/module.
