Frequently asked questions

Does the sensor work with 110V?
No, the sensor is designed for 220V. Check the datasheet.

Can I use a compatible Arduino?
Yes, but check the compatibility on the datasheet.

How long does the battery last?
The sensor does not use batteries, it is powered directly by the 220V current.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the sensor?
Yes, use the potentiometer to adjust the detection distance.
