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).

2. List out the pin in PIN Sensor module?

3. What is the range of PIR sensor?

4. Is that PIR Sensor is Analog Sensor or Digital Sensor?
