Motion Sensor PIR Working and its Applicarions
The PIR motion sensor is ideal to detect movement. PIR stand for “Passive Infrared”. Basically, the PIR motion sensor measures infrared light from objects in its field of view. So, it can detect motion based on changes in infrared light in the environment. It is ideal to detect if a human has moved in or out of the sensor range.

PIR Sensor Features
1. Wide range on input voltage varying from 4.V to 12V (+5V recommended)
2. Output voltage is High/Low (3.3V TTL)
3. Can distinguish between object movement and human movement
4. Has to operating modes – Repeatable(H) and Non- Repeatable(H)
5. Cover distance of about 120° and 7 meters
6. Low power consumption of 65mA
7. Operating temperature from -20° to +80° Celsius
How to use PIR Motion Sensor
The PIR sensor stands for Passive Infrared sensor. It is a low cost sensor which can detect the presence of Human beings or animals. This sensor has three output pins Vcc, Output and Ground as shown in the pin diagram above. Since the output pin is 3.3V TTL logic it can be used with any platforms like Arduino, Raspberry, PIC, ARM, 8051.
The module can be powered from voltage 4.5V to 20V but, typically 5V is used. Once the module is powered allow the module to calibrate itself for few minutes, 2 minutes is a well settled time. Then observe the output on the output pin. Before we analyse the output we need to know that there are two operating modes in this sensor such as Repeatable(H) and Non- Repeatable(L) and mode. The Repeatable mode is the default mode.
The output of the sensor can be set by shorting any two pins on the left of the module. The sensor in the figure above has two built-in potentiometers to adjust the delay trim (the potentiometer at the left) and the sensitivity (the potentiometer at the right).
