Abstract
A proximity detector in which a sensor unit (10) senses reflected energy received from a predetermined volume or zone and generates an electrical signal representative of the received energy. Circuit means process the received signals to control the operation of apparatus such as automatic doors. One aspect of the invention is concerned with the sensor unit in which transmitters (14) are located in a housing with a receiver (15). The housing has a filter (7) through which infrared radiation can be transmitted and received. Mask areas on the filter define the zone into which radiation can be transmitted and from which it can be received. The filter is interchangeable so that zones of different sizes and dimensions can be provided. Another aspect is concerned with novel signal processing circuitry and a further aspect is concerned with an ultrasonic system wherein a multiplier is used to process the received signals.
