Experiment 6 :

Interfacing PIR Sensor with Arduino


Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor
• A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that
measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.

• The term passive refers to the fact that PIR devices do not radiate
energy for detection purposes.

• They work entirely by detecting infrared radiation (radiant heat) emitted


by or reflected from moving objects.

• PIR sensors detect general movement, hence used for motion detection.

• PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic


lighting applications.

Construction of HC-SR501 PIR sensor
• PIRs are made of pyroelectric sensors, a round metal can with a rectangular crystal in the
center, which can detect levels of infrared radiation.
• A PIR sensor consists of two main parts:
1) Pyroelectric crystal 2) Fresnel lens

Working Principal of PIR Sensor
• A PIR sensor can detect changes in the amount of infrared radiation impinging upon it.

• Every object emits low-level radiation, and for hotter object more radiation is emitted.

• A pyroelectric sensor consists of a window with two rectangular slots (two halves). They
allows infrared radiation to pass through them.

• There are two separate infrared sensor electrodes, one responsible for producing the
positive output and the other for producing the negative output.

• When one slot detects more or less IR radiation than other, it means motion is detected
(logic HIGH).

• When change is not detected, both slots has same IR radiation. These two outputs will
cancel each other which means motion is not detected (logic LOW).
