Add hidden automation to your layout with the Busch 5720 miniature infrared detector, comprising one transmitter and one receiver. An infrared light barrier works by having the transmitter emit invisible IR light that the receiver detects; when something interrupts the beam, the receiver registers the break. Because the switching is contactless, the system offers outstanding reliability and a virtually unlimited service life.

Measuring just 1/2 x 1/4 x 3/8 in. (12.8 x 7 x 8.8 mm), the tiny Busch 5720 components tuck easily out of sight along tracks and roadways. Note that because the light barrier operates at very low currents, it must be used together with articles that provide the necessary receiving electronics, such as the Busch time switch 5963 or electronic relay 5740. Suitable for all scales, it is ideal for triggering automated effects and sequences.

- Electronic accessory suitable for all scales
