The IR Topled D5140 fitness monitor sensor is the updated version of the SFH 2440 photodiode from Osram Opto.
Heart rate measuring occurs when the light hitting the skin’s surface is absorbed by the detector. The blood in the arteries absorbs more light than the tissue surrounding it, the detector signal strength changes according to the volume of blood where the light passes.
