Outdoor IR beam fence

[Jim Davis]

I need a 30 foot outdoor IR beam "fence" ,
that closes a relay when the beam is broken .

Thanks ... Jim

Hi Jim,

This is only for at night, right. I/R's not much good in daylight.

Are you looking for a schematic or commercial product?

Hi Jim,

How about a modulated I/R beam and receiver.

I/R LEDs $1.00
Modulated I/R receiver $1.50
555 timer to modulate beam. $ .50
A few resisters and capacitors $ .75

Mount TX and RX in tubes to reduce ambient light, 5-volt output. Power
supplies? Schematics?

A couple of IR part numbers would be cherry !

RX power supply is 12 VDC car battery .
Should we regulate power to IR RX ?
Broken beam closes relay to 12 VDC car alarm .

Hi Jim,

I was going to e-mail the schematics to you but your mailbox is full. I'll
try to post them to alt.binaries.schematics.electric later tonight

Sorry Jim I meant 'alt.binaries.schematics.electronic'

Are you still here?
