Infrared Sensors

An Infrared Sensor is an electronic device that detects infrared radiation or changes in infrared energy to identify the presence, movement, or temperature of an object, depending on the sensor type. Infrared sensors are widely used in automatic lighting, motion detection, touchless switching, access control, industrial automation, and temperature measurement applications.

We can assist with sourcing Infrared Sensors according to your application, sensing distance, detection angle, output type, mounting arrangement, operating voltage, and technical requirements.

Infrared Motion Sensors

Infrared motion sensors detect changes in infrared radiation within their field of view. Passive infrared sensors are commonly used to detect movement by people or animals and can activate lighting, alarms, or other connected equipment.

Typical applications include:

• Automatic Corridor Lighting
• Office and Commercial Lighting
• Staircase Lighting
• Security and Alarm Systems
• Warehouse Lighting
• Building Automation
• Occupancy-Based Lighting Control
• Selected Automatic Door Systems

The sensing distance and coverage angle should be selected according to the installation location.

Infrared Proximity and Object Detection Sensors

Infrared proximity sensors are used to detect nearby objects without physical contact. Depending on their design, they may operate by emitting infrared light and detecting the reflected signal.

Applications may include:

• Industrial Automation
• Object Presence Detection
• Packaging Machinery
• Conveyor Systems
• Product Counting
• Obstacle Detection
• Automatic Equipment Switching
• Machine Position Detection

The performance of an infrared proximity sensor can be affected by object colour, surface reflectivity, ambient lighting, and installation conditions.

Infrared Sensors for Automatic Lighting

Infrared sensors are commonly integrated into automatic lighting systems to switch lights on when movement or occupancy is detected and switch them off after a defined period.

They are suitable for selected applications in offices, commercial buildings, corridors, warehouses, parking areas, and service rooms.

Before selecting a sensor, confirm the supply voltage, load type, switching capacity, mounting style, detection range, and required delay settings.

Infrared Sensors for Industrial Automation

Industrial infrared sensors can support non-contact detection and control in manufacturing and process environments. Depending on the model, they may detect objects, monitor movement, or provide signals to a PLC or other control system.

Important selection factors include:

• Sensing Range
• Detection Method
• Response Time
• Supply Voltage
• Output Type
• Switching Frequency
• Housing Material
• Ingress Protection Rating
• Operating Temperature
• Ambient Light Conditions
• Mounting and Connection Type
• Compatibility with the Existing Control System

For demanding environments, verify the sensor’s environmental ratings and suitability for the intended installation.
