Infrared Linear Beam Sensor: A type of sensor that is used to detect the presence of objects or people in a particular area. It consists of an infrared transmitter and receiver that are mounted on opposite sides of a doorway or other opening and is used to trigger an alarm or other response if an object or person crosses the beam. Examples include the use of infrared beam sensors in security systems to detect intruders and in manufacturing environments to detect the presence of workers or machinery.
