    Jane

     

    I work at a childrens museum and we would like to place several sensors in the ceiling (8 feet) so that when a child crosses under a sensor a musical note will be played.  Can you suggest a sensor that will work for this kind of application?

     

    Thanks, Gary

    Hi Gary,

     

    I recommend using the PaPIRS which has 5m and 12m distances.

     

    More information can be obtained on our website via the link below
