ffuse sensors

he emitter and receiver are fitted in the same

ousing.
he object diffusely reflects a percentage of the
mitted light thereby activating the receiver.
Depending on the design of the receiver, the output is
hen switched through (NO) or switched off (NC).
The switching distance largely depends on the
eflectivity of the object.
The size, surface, shape, density, and colour of the
bject as well as the angle of impact determine the
ntensity of the diffused light so that as a rule only
mall distances within a range of a few decimeters can
e scanned.
