Which IR detector in PE kit?

The IR detectors that came with my PE kit have no ID nor were there any parts lists indicating the mfg part number. The BOE robot manual·shows an IR detector that has the center lead grounded (again no ID as to type). The soon to be published PE kit counters lab manual has the IR detector as a·PNA4602 with the center lead as the output.·Could someone tell me which·IR detector came in my PE kit? The detector has a squre metal case with·four windows on the front·.

Thanks,
Richard

    Richard,

    Look at this thread, it has a list of the entire contents of the PE kit.

    Richard,

    The IR detector is equivalent to the PNA4602M. You're right about Figure 11, ground should be in the middle and signal on the bottom. I'll add that to the revision list along with pin numbers. Updated doc should be ready next week.
