Description

The sensor utilizes a passive infrared (PIR) element to detect changes in infrared radiation caused by moving heat sources, such as a person. It features internal signal conditioning circuitry that filters noise and provides a clean, stable digital output signal, simplifying integration with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi.

Designed for reliability, the module includes a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer, allowing users to fine-tune the detection range from a default of approximately 3 meters up to a maximum of 6 meters. Its low-power operation and straightforward digital interface make it suitable for battery-powered or always-on monitoring applications.

Key Features

  • Crowtail Interface Standard: Features the standardized Crowtail connector for direct, solderless connection to a wide range of base shields and development boards.
  • Adjustable Detection Range: Integrated potentiometer allows precise calibration of the sensing distance to suit specific application requirements.
  • Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports a 3V to 5V DC input, ensuring compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller ecosystems.
  • Optimized Detection Field: Provides a broad 120-degree detection cone for effective area coverage in rooms or corridors.
  • Compact and Lightweight Design: With dimensions of 40 x 20 x 13 mm and a minimal weight, it is ideal for embedded and portable device integration.
  • Simple Digital Output: Outputs a clean digital HIGH/LOW signal, eliminating the need for complex analog signal processing.

Applications

  • Intruder Alarm & Security Systems: Deploy as a trigger for alarms, lights, or notifications in home or office security setups.
  • Energy-Saving Automation: Automatically control lighting, HVAC, or display systems in rooms based on occupancy detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this PIR sensor?

The module operates from 3V to 5V DC, making it directly compatible with both 3.3V logic systems (like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi) and traditional 5V Arduino boards without requiring a logic level shifter.

How do I adjust the detection range?

A blue potentiometer is located on the circuit board. Rotating it adjusts the sensor's sensitivity, allowing you to fine-tune the detection distance from the default of approximately 3 meters up to a maximum of 6 meters.

How do I connect this sensor to an Arduino or other microcontroller?

Using a Crowtail base shield, you can plug the module directly into a compatible port. For direct wiring, connect VCC to 3-5V, GND to ground, and the SIG pin to a digital input pin on your microcontroller to read the HIGH/LOW motion trigger signal.

What is the output signal type?

The sensor provides a clean digital output. When motion is detected within its field of view, the SIG pin goes HIGH (at the supply voltage level). It returns to LOW after a fixed time delay once motion ceases.
