ICP DAS USA releases PIR-130-DC, a 1-channel passive infrared (PIR) sensor module that detects human-body generated infrared waves within a range of approximately 8 meters (315 inches) in diameter ...
The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.
Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...
