Optical sensors have become an important part of modern instrumentation systems. OPB492N11 photointerrupter is a slot type logic output sensor which uses beam interruption method to detect presence or presence and absence of objects. The working of this sensor can be expounded in the following sections.

Working Principle

The OPB492N11 sensor consists of a receiver-transmitter pair enclosed in a housing. The output from the transmitter is focused at the photodetector at the other end. The transmission of light is disrupted when an object comes in between the two. This interruption is used to detect presence or absence of the objects. The interruption causes the interruption output to turn off, which can then be used to control devices.

Design Features

The OPB492N11 sensor is designed to detect objects with a large size range. It has a photoelectric sensing range of 0.3 to 10mm. It has a LCD display which shows the actual output voltage value and it also has a temperature-compensated phototransistor which ensures a reliable output level. It further has an integrated red LED which indicates the status of the sensor\'s sensing mode.

Application Areas

This sensor can be used to detect items in industrial, commercial and even personal applications. It can be used to detect the presence of items in recirculation systems, conveyor lines and production lines. It can also be used to detect the presence or absence of items stored in a container or package. In addition, it can be used to detect the vehicle status in roadways, railway signalling, or port operations. Other automotive applications where OPB492N11 can be used include key tag detection, intrusion detection, door opening and closing detection, barcode detection, etc.
