Sensor output includes two voltage outputs, which can be connected to an output device such as a light source, a buzzer, or a relay. It can be used in entryways, to detect motion for security purpose, or it can be used to activate street lamps, or radar detectors, as well as a variety of other active and passive sensors.

In spite of its wide range of applications and widespread use, the EKMC1693113 remains an economical and user-friendly device. It comes in surface-mounted packages, and its design is relatively simple to understand. It includes an LED, a photodiode, an amplifier, and a set of positive and negative outputs.

LED

The LED is the main source of light radiation when the sensor is active. It is housed within a compact encapsulated plastic enclosure, which acts as a filter to protect the device from external effects. The intensity of the emitted light varies with the set angle, providing a broad field for angle detection.

Photodiode

The photodiode is an active semiconductor device, which converts light radiation into electrical energy. The photodiode is calibrated to receive light waves with a specific intensity and angular spread. The higher the intensity of light and the wider the spread, the more efficient the detection process.

Amplifier

The amplifier is used to monitor the photoelectric signal level, and convert a weak input signal into a strong output signal. It provides a necessary gain to the photoelectric signal, allowing the sensor to detect a wider range of motions.

Outputs

The outputs of the EKMC1693113 include two terminals that serve as voltage outputs. The positive and negative outputs allow the sensor to provide an active switching signal to a device. Depending on the intensity of the detected signal, the output voltage will range from 0V to 12V, allowing the device to precisely detect and respond to motion.

Conclusion

The EKMC1693113 is an economical and user-friendly optical motion detector. Its construction consists of a LED, photodiode, amplifier, and positive and negative voltage output. It is designed to detect motion within proximity range of a few up to several meters, and is utilized in various commercial and industrial applications. It provides an efficient means of monitoring and responding to movements, enabling safe and secure environments for diverse applications.
