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.

Specifications:

Working Voltage: 5V to 20V DC
Static (quiescent) current: 65uA
Output signal: High level 3.3V, low level 0V
Time Delay: Adjustable (0.3s~600s)
Blockage time: 0.2s
Detectable Area: <120°/7M (max)
Sensitivity: Adjustable
Operating Temperature: -15° to +70°C
PCB Size: 32mm x 24mm (1.27″ x 0.96″)
Induction Lens Size (Diameter): 23mm

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 ten minutes.

The Sensitivity Adjustment varies the range from approximately 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.
