RPM7138-R

Optical Sensors - Photo Detectors - Remote Receiver

The RPM7138-R is a type of optical sensor designed for sensing and responding to light in a variety of applications. It is one type of a special class of photo detectors known as remote receivers, which are used to sense and respond to infrared light signals sent from a central source, typically over long distances. This article will provide an overview of the RPM7138-R and its associated features and working principles.

Application Field

The RPM7138-R is a remote receiver designed to read and interpret infrared light signals from a central source. It is typically used in industrial automation systems for controlling the operation of equipment remotely. It can be used for various applications including robotic manufacturing, sensor monitoring, automation of lighting systems, and data transmission between devices.

Because the RPM7138-R is sensitive to infrared light waves, it can be used in applications where direct, physical touch is not feasible or undesirable. This could be for instance, when machines are located in hazardous environments, or when remote monitoring needs to be performed over long distances. In addition, due to its relatively small size, it is well-suited for use in compact areas.

Working Principle

The RPM7138-R harnesses infrared light waves to capture data from a remote source. It has an internal infrared LED light source that emits light pulses, and a receiver which decodes those pulses. When the device is placed in an environment with a remote source, it detects the light emissions sent by that source.

The device responds to the signals by modulating its own light pulse. This pulse is then transmitted back to the remote source. The device will constantly repeat the patterns of its own pulse to enable the remote source to detect, decode and interpret the signal. Additionally, the RPM7138-R device is designed to be resistant to external interference such as electrical wiring and sunlight, which can impede the performance of other types of optical sensors.

Conclusion

The RPM7138-R is a type of remote receiver optical sensor used for sensing and responding to light signals from a remote source. It is a versatile device capable of being used in industrial automation systems, robotic manufacturing, and remote monitoring over long distances. The device harnesses infrared light to capture data and transmits a modulated light pulse back to the remote source, allowing the source to detect, decode, and interpret the signal. The RPM7138-R also contains a special circuitry designed for resistance against common external interferences, providing a reliable platform for its operation.
