HC-SR505 PIR Sensor : Pin Configuration & Its Applications

• A pyroelectric motion sensor is the C-SR505. All objects with a temperature greater than absolute zero emit heat energy. This energy is manifested as infrared radiation. Human bodies, too, emit infrared light radiations. The HC-SR505 sensor detects object motions by measuring changes in the level of infrared light radiations emitted by objects. This sensor is extremely sensitive and offers automatic control. It is extremely dependable and consumes very little power while operating.
• The HC-SR505 is a small-size module with a power-efficient sensor that is ideal for battery-powered devices. The HC-SR505 is available in a variety of operating voltages ranging from 4.5 to 20 volts. The HC-SR505 module has a simple interface and can be quickly connected to the controller. The HC-SR505 is a highly sensitive and dependable Sensor module that is ideal for motion or theft alarms. This sensor’s output voltage is 3.3V, making it power efficient.

Working principle

• When an object enters the sensing range, the sensor is automatically triggered. Connect the power supply and ground. Connect the output pin to the ground, with an LED in between. Connect a resistor in series with this LED as well. When the sensor detects an object, the output pin delivers 3.3V and the LED illuminates. If the sensor does not detect any moving objects, the output pin remains at 0 volts and the LED remains turned off.
• Because of its high reliability and sensitivity, this sensor can be controlled automatically. This PIR sensor is used in a variety of automatic electronic devices, particularly those that run on batteries.
