PIR Sensor (Rev B)
The PIR (Passive Infra-Red) Sensor is a pyroelectric device that detects motion by measuring changes in the infrared (heat) levels emitted by surrounding objects. When motion is detected the PIR Sensor outputs a high signal on its output pin. This logic signal can be read by a microcontroller or used to drive an external load. Dual output modes and a sensible design that performs within stated datasheet specifications are a few reasons over 100,000 units are in use around the world. Click over to the KickStart Guide to see how to use the PIR sensor, complete with wiring diagrams and sample code for the BASIC Stamp, Propeller, and Arduino.NOTE: The product information found on this page currently pertains to Revision B of this product, which provides many updates and features from Revision A. Some of these include:
- Longer detection range, selectable by onboard jumper
- Wider supply voltage, from 3 to 6 VDC
- Higher output current provides for direct control of an external load
- Mounting holes included for permanent projects
- All parts SMT
Features:
Detection range up to 15 ft away on short setting, up to 30 ft away on long setting- Jumper selects short or long settings
- Directly drive a load
- Onboard LEDs light up the lens for fast visual feedback when movement is detected
- Mounting holes for 2-56 sized screws
- 3-pin SIP header ready for breadboard or through-hole projects
