Description

This sensor utilizes a passive infrared (PIR) pyroelectric element to detect changes in infrared radiation, typically emitted by warm bodies in motion. The onboard chipset digitizes the analog signal, providing a clean, debounced 3.3V TTL-level output that transitions from low (0V) to high (3V) upon detection, simplifying integration with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi.

Its compact, integrated design eliminates the need for complex external circuitry required by conventional PIR sensors, offering higher reliability and a smaller footprint. The module is engineered for long-term stability in a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both indoor and protected outdoor applications.

Key Features

  • Integrated Digital PIR Sensor with onboard signal processing.
  • Ultra-low 15µA quiescent current for extended battery life.
  • Wide 100° detection angle for broad coverage area.
  • Robust operating temperature range from -20°C to 85°C.
  • Simple 3.3V to 5V logic compatibility (6V max input).
  • Gravity-series PH2.0-3 port for secure, foolproof connection.
  • Compact dimensions (30mm length) and lightweight (22g) design.
  • High-value build with optimized performance-to-cost ratio for prototyping and production.

Applications

  • Automatic lighting control and occupancy detection in smart home systems.
  • Intruder alert and motion-triggered recording in DIY security setups.
  • Energy-saving systems for HVAC and office equipment activation.
  • Interactive displays and exhibits triggered by visitor presence.
  • Pet monitoring and wildlife activity detection in environmental projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this PIR sensor?

The sensor operates from 3.3V to 5V DC, with an absolute maximum rating of 6V. It is directly compatible with standard Arduino boards (5V) and 3.3V logic platforms like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico without requiring a logic level shifter.

How do I connect and interface this sensor with my Arduino?

Use the included Gravity cable to connect the sensor's PH2.0-3 port to your microcontroller. The cable breaks out to three standard female Dupont connectors: VCC (red), GND (black), and SIGNAL (yellow). Connect these to your board's power, ground, and a digital input pin respectively. The output is a clean digital signal.

Can the sensitivity or detection delay be adjusted?

Yes, the module features onboard potentiometers for adjustment. One adjusts the sensor's sensitivity (detection range), and the other sets the trigger delay time (how long the output remains high after detection). These allow customization for specific application requirements.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor use?

While it operates across a wide temperature range (-20°C to 85°C), the module itself is not weather-sealed or IP-rated. For outdoor use, it must be housed in a protective enclosure that shields it from direct rain, condensation, and UV exposure while allowing an unobstructed view for the IR lens.
