Proximity Sensors

A proximity sensor contains an Infrared emitter (short IR, usually 850nm or 940nm), a receiver as well as the control logic. The function principle is simple: The emitter transmits IR light. Approaching objects are reflecting the IR light back towards the receiver which forwards the signal to the control logic, which by then detects the presence of the object. Typical applications are hand dryers or automatic water faucets.
