Laser break beam sensor 5V 1m

Simple break beam sensor with emitter and sensor in one package. The laser is powered by 5VDC and can sense larger objects up to 1m away. The output is open-collector and pulls the output low when something breaks the beam. A pull-up resistor is required for correct function. Adjustable sensitivity via potentiometer.
