It is based on the working of the popular ir sensor module tsop1738 which senses 38 khz infrared pulses from the ir led of the transmitter.
Ir break beam sensor circuit.
This is an ir beam breaking alarm ideal to use in entry or passages.
They work by having an emitter side that sends out a beam of human invisible ir light then a receiver across the way which is sensitive to that same light.
