Distance infrared sensor and obstacle detector FC51

The obstacle evader infrared module or also called a presence sensor or sensor prevents obstacles, is made up of two infrared emitter/receiver LEDs. The detection distance of this module can be adjusted by the potentiometer that is included on the board.

This sensor is usually used in robots designed to avoid obstacles, a black or white line follower, among others. The signal captured by the sensors can be transmitted directly to a control circuit such as a microcontroller, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, among others.

FC51 Infrared Presence Detector Module

Specifications:

• Model: FC-51
• DC power voltage: 3.3V to 5V
• Current: 20 mA
• Feeling distance: 2cm to 10cm
• Detection angle: 35°
• Module digital output signal: When objects detect the module delivers a low logic level (0V) and when the module does not detect objects, the sensor delivers a high logic level output signal (5V).
