AEC D500A4 Optical liquid level sensor Datasheet

Optical Liquid Level Sensors
D500A4SH
This liquid presence sensor has been developed to address the needs
of high volume OEM applications. The sensor contains an infra-red
emitter and detector accurately positioned to ensure good optical coupling between the two when the sensor is in air. When the sensor’s
cone is immersed in liquid, the infra-red light escapes from the cone
causing a change in the amount of light at the detector.
This configuration allows the customer to tailor the sensor electronics
(supply, protection etc.) to their unique application.

Typical installation: Customer has to select suitable resistors for their chosen supply voltage. Forward voltage of LED is 1.3V and
LED current should be 10mA (depending on application liquid). Therefore, for a supply of Vs:
R LED =
(Vs − 1 .3)V 12 − 1 .3
=
= 1070 Ω ≈ 1 .1kΩ
