Description
The Non-Modulator Tube Laser Receiver Module detects laser and other light sources and outputs a digital signal. It uses a 3-pin ISO203 sensor, a light receiver diode with an integrated amplifier and open-collector output. The module operates on 5V DC and provides a low output when a laser beam is detected. It is not limited to modulated signals, making it versatile for various light-based sensing applications. Due to its compact size, it suits both portable devices and industrial equipment.
Key Features
- Output goes low when laser or strong light is detected
- Output high (open-collector) when no light is detected
- Works with non-modulated laser and visible light sources
- Integrated amplifier in sensor for direct digital output
- Open-collector output can sink up to 20mA
- 5V DC operation
- Small 3-pin sensor with standard pinout
- No external modulation or demodulation required
