SpecificationBrand : PARALLAX
BulletPoint : SYSTEM SENSOR LENSG COLORED LENS F/WALL GREEN
BulletPoint1 : The QTI Sensor is a close-proximity infrared emitter/receiver that is able to differentiate between a dark surface) with low IR reflectivity) and a light surface (with high IR reflectivity)
BulletPoint2 : Handy for line following, maze navigation, or sensing the outer rim of a SumoBot ring
BulletPoint3 : Wiring options allow it to be used digitally for fast black/white line following, or as an analog sensor to detect different shades of gray. A daylight filter is built into the sensor.
BulletPoint4 : What does QTI stand for? Q = Charge, T = Transfer, I = Infrared. When your microcontroller measures the time it takes for the QTI’s capacitor to decay, it’s measuring a rate of charge transfer through an infrared phototransistor. This rate indicates how much infrared is reflecting off a nearby surface.

ProductDescription :
The QTI Sensor is a close-proximity infrared emitter/receiver that is able to differentiate between a dark surface) with low IR reflectivity) and a light surface (with high IR reflectivity). These little sensors can be very handy for line following, maze navigation, or sensing the outer rim of a SumoBot ring. Wiring options allow it to be used digitally for fast black/white line following, or as an analog sensor to detect different shades of gray. A daylight filter is built into the sensor.
What does QTI stand for?
- Q = Charge
- T = Transfer
- I = Infrared
When your microcontroller measures the time it takes for the QTI’s capacitor to decay, it’s measuring a rate of charge transfer through an infrared phototransistor. This rate indicates how much infrared is reflecting off a nearby surface.
Features:
- Capable of analog or digital outputs
- No-contact surface sensing
- Unfocused for sensing diffused surfaces
- Daylight filter on sensor
- Easy to interface with any Parallax microcontroller
Specifications:
- Power requirements: 5 VDC
- Communication: Analog output of capacitor decay time depending on level of infrared reflectivity
- Dimensions: 1.25 x 0.37 in (31.7 x 9.4 mm)
- Operating temp range: -40 to +185 °F (-40 to +85 °C)
Dimensions:
- PCB Length: 1”
- Overall Length: 1 ¼”
- PCB Width: 3/8”
- Thickness: 5/16”
