Notes:

1. The case material is polysulfone and should be cleaned with alcohol or freon TF only. Avoid chlorinated hydrocarbons and

solvents such as acetone or toluene, as damage may result.

2. The light current is measured using a 90% reflective surface at the specified distance from Ref. A (refer to Package Dimension

Outline on previous page).

3. The dark current is measured with the part totally shielded from ambient light. With 2150 lux (200 fc) from a cool white

fluorescent lamp perpendicular to the sensing axis, the detector current will be typically 3 µA for VTR16D1. The same

illumination concentric to the sensing axis will result in a detector current of 50 µA for VTR16D1. Equivalent light from an

incandescent lamp will result in significantly greater currents.

4. With the specified IRED forward current and no reflecting surface, the crosstalk is typically less than 3 µA for VTR16D1.

5. VTR16D1 accommodates most applications.
