Note:

• This product is not a standalone functional unit and may require professional installation.
• Suitable for both direct voltage measurement and connection to an amplifier (e.g. operational amplifier)
• The sensitivity depends on the angle of incidence of the light - perpendicular illumination is recommended
• When using for IR communication, take care to filter ambient light
