Description

The E18-D80NK sensor integrates an infrared transmitter and receiver into a single, compact housing utilizing a diffuse reflective sensing principle. It emits an infrared beam and detects the light scattered back from an object within its adjustable range, providing a stable digital switching signal for reliable object presence detection.

Designed for easy integration, the sensor outputs a high signal when no obstacle is present and switches to a low logic level upon detection. Its 5V DC operation and standard three-wire configuration (power, ground, signal) make it compatible with a wide range of development platforms and industrial control systems requiring robust, non-contact sensing.

Key Features

  • Diffuse Reflective IR Technology for reliable detection of matte and non-reflective surfaces.
  • User-Adjustable Sensing Range via a potentiometer, allowing fine-tuning from 3cm to 80cm.
  • Digital TTL-Compatible Output provides a clean high/low signal for direct microcontroller input.
  • Compact & Durable Cylindrical Housing enables easy mounting in space-constrained applications.
  • Integrated 70cm Cable with industry-standard wire coloring (Red: +5V, Black/Brown: GND, Yellow/Blue: Signal) simplifies wiring.
  • Low Power Design with 100mA current draw ensures energy-efficient operation in continuous-use scenarios.
  • High-Value Build offers optimized performance-to-cost ratio for prototyping and volume deployment.

Applications

  • Robotics obstacle avoidance and object detection for autonomous navigation systems.
  • Industrial assembly line object counting, presence verification, and part positioning.
  • Interactive media installations and exhibits for triggering events based on user proximity.
  • Security systems for intrusion detection or monitoring entry/exit points.
  • Vending machines and automated dispensers for product level or user presence sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the E18-D80NK sensor?

The E18-D80NK sensor is designed to operate strictly at 5V DC. Exceeding this voltage may damage the internal components. Ensure your power supply is regulated to 5V for reliable operation and to match the logic level of its digital output signal.

How do I wire and interface the E18-D80NK with an Arduino?

Connect the red (or brown) wire to Arduino's 5V pin, the green (or blue) wire to GND, and the yellow (or black) wire to any digital input pin. The sensor outputs a HIGH signal (5V) when no object is detected and switches to LOW (0V) when an obstacle is within the adjusted range. No additional pull-up resistors are required.

Can the detection distance be adjusted, and how is it done?

Yes, the sensing range from 3cm to 80cm is adjustable. A small potentiometer is located on the back of the sensor housing. Use a small screwdriver to turn it clockwise to decrease the sensing distance or counter-clockwise to increase it, allowing fine-tuning for specific application requirements.

What types of objects can this infrared sensor detect reliably?

As a diffuse reflective sensor, it works best with non-reflective, matte-finished objects that scatter infrared light. Highly reflective or transparent materials may cause inconsistent detection. The adjustable range allows compensation for different surface colors and textures to achieve reliable operation.
