HC-SR501 PIR Motion Detector Sensor Passive Infrared Receiver Module

HC=SR501 PIR Motion Detector Module This PIR Motion Detector Receiver Module is designed for use with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Digispark, and Raspberry Pi.

It can be used for automatic-on lighting, automatic starting, anti-theft security alarm, and many other motion detection applications.

It features adjustable sensitivity that allows for a motion detection range from ~9 feet to 21 feet (3 meters to 7 meters) within a cone of about 120 degrees from the front of the Fresnel lens, and also includes time delay adjustments and trigger selection that allow for fine-tuning within your application.

HC-SR501 Pinouts and Controls

The time delay adjustment determines how long the output of the PIR sensor module will remain high after motion detection. The range is from about 3 seconds to 5 minutes.

The Sensitivity Adjustment varies the range from approximately 9 feet to 21 feet (3 to 7 meters).

The trigger mode selection jumper allows you to select between single and repeatable triggers. The effect of this jumper setting is to determine when the time delay begins.

SINGLE TRIGGER – The time delay begins immediately when motion is first detected.
REPEATABLE TRIGGER – Each detected motion resets the time delay. Thus the time delay begins with the last motion detected.

HC-SR501 PIR Detector Functional Description

The HC-SR5011 PIR Sensor module allows you to sense motion. It is often called a PIR, Pyroelectric, Passive Infrared, or IR Motion sensor. The module has an on-board pyroelectric sensor, support circuitry, and a dome-shaped Fresnel lens. The PIR sensor module provides an output “HIGH” when a body is detected within its range, and an automatic delay “LOW” when the body leaves its range. The delay time is adjustable using the potentiometer on-board. The minimum delay time is 3 seconds and the maximum is 300 seconds.
