A digital infrared proximity sensor with an adjustable detection range of 0–200 cm. It uses diffuse IR reflection to detect objects or people, outputting a digital high signal when something enters the sensing zone and returning to low when cleared — ideal for smart home, security, robotics, and automation applications.
Detection distance is easily configured using the onboard button: press and hold while the indicator flashes, then position the target at your desired distance. The sensor automatically saves the calibration. A standard 3-pin digital cable connects directly to Arduino I/O expansion boards.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IP67
- An ingress protection rating meaning the enclosure is dust-tight and can survive temporary immersion in water under specified test conditions. This matters when choosing a sensor for outdoor, wet, or wash-down environments.
- Proximity sensor
- A sensor that detects the presence of a nearby object without physical contact, using methods such as infrared, ultrasonic, capacitive, inductive or time-of-flight. Useful ranges vary widely between types, from a few millimetres to several metres, so check a given sensor's specified range to see whether it suits close-up touch-free triggers or longer-distance detection.
