Re: IR Sensors- will they attack hot Chiaphuas?

40khz is the wavelength at which the beacons will be transmitting (I'll find the quote in the manual later). If I ma not completely mistaken, that is on the high end of the infared spectrum, just below the visible spectrum, so for someting to emit infared light from being hot, it would need to be REALLY hot, and i think most CIMs will die before getting that hot.
