This module can be used to build a simple circuit that produces a photo interrupter warning lamp. It is composed of an infrared emitter on one upright and a shielded infrared detector on the other. By emitting a beam of infrared light from one upright to the other, the sensor can detect when an object passes between the uprights, breaking the beam.
Used for many applications including optical Motor encoder ,limit switches, general object detection, parts counting etc.
