Juan Luis on Oct 19,2016 Reply upvote (0) It is an IR sensor. To be able to get a meaningful signal, it must be placed where the background IR is low enough that it doesn't trigger the sensor board (or the optional resistors and pots must be attached and they must be adjusted to reduce the sensor's sensitivity below the background level.To test the sensor, connect and power it, read it out. It will probably be responding to your body, your computers, etc. Place a blanket in the freezer for 15 minutes, then wrap the sensor in it and place an inverted (empty) drawer over the wrapped sensor. This should produce a low signal. (You could also just stuff the sensor in the freezer and shut the door!) If you don't get a low signal, check your wiring!Once you've achieved a low (indicating that it is not "seeing" enough IR to trigger the output) you can expose it to more light or a warm body, and it should respond.PIR sensors are used indoors, usually in unoccupied rooms, so that, when a person enters, it will see they are present by the IR (light emitted from their bodies by body heat) and turn on lights. Simulate this environment to test it. William Brohinsky on Jun 20,2017 23:20 PM Reply upvote (0) It is an IR sensor.

Can you please advise what kind of material can be used to cover the sensor that doesnt interfere with the passive infrared and is still suitable for outside (i.e. waterproof and U.V. light stable).

Reply upvote (0) Osman Da? on Mar 20,2017 Hello, I am sorry but I don't quite understand your question. Please contact techsupport@seeed.cc with your set up, the code you're using, and any errors you might be getting. Thanks. ae on Apr 14,2017 16:33 PM Reply upvote (0) 0 Hi, if I implement this PIR sensor on the car that will move around, will the sensor sense the movement of the car without any human here? Reply upvote (0) on Oct 19,2016 This is a PIR sensor. It indicates the Presence of IR (Infrared light). It has settings that can be controlled, to make it more sensitive or less sensitive, but it doesn't differentiate anything but the amount of IR within it's "View". This view is a 120-degree cone which has its point at the center of the white 'dome', and extends from the board on the dome side. All sources of IR within that cone will be focused onto the element in the sensor, and will be summed (contributing by the square law: double the distance, the received IR will be cut in half.)The sensor board can be adjusted for sensitivity, which allows some compensation for IR sources in the background. However, that assumes the IR sources are not changing, and aren't moving around. The sensor integrates the heat from the entire surface (visible to the sensor) along with every other heat source to produce the analog signal, which is run through a comparator to provide the output signal. That means the entrance of two large dogs could be 'recognized' as the entrance of a single human. Also, if an IR source is brought into the view, the sensor would always indicate a presence, regardless of how many people came or went.Basically, because of the need to control the environment, the PIR sensor is meant for use indoors. It is easily fooled, even then, by a heating register/radiator, hot plate, electric kettle, etc. Likewise, it doesn't have a mechanism to recognize the entrance of more than one person.Placing a PIR sensor on a car will expose it to many IR emittors: People, animals, car engines and exhaust systems, the Sun's rays (which carry considerable IR), Industry, trains... and it will be difficult to sense any single thing or person. Additionally, if you set it so it can recognize the presence of one human added to the IR flux from the sun at noon, a cloud will easily drop the background IR flux so adding a human to the scene will not trigger the sensor...In short, whatever you want to use an IR sensor for on a car is unlikely to work, and another sensor type should be considered.

Reply upvote (0) Richard Conley on Oct 19,2016 Hi Richard.Yu can use it outdoors,but take some measures to prevent water is unavoidable. Jacket Chen on Oct 20,2016 10:44 AM Reply upvote (0) You can use it outdoors in a suitable enclosure, which must either be transparent to IR light, or have a hole that the sensor can "look" through. If the hole is just the size of the dome, you can place it with RTV around the edge of the hole which seals the hole to the sides of the dome.Note that outdoor use will be affected by ambient IR sources: the Sun, passing cars (usually the exhaust systems, but also engines) and other motor-vehicles, groups of animals, groups of children, etc. Reply upvote (0) William Brohinsky on Jun 20,2017 23:23 PM 0 Another nice box-mountable sensor that NEEDs pin connectors on the backside (or out to the side). Reply upvote (0) Cheryl Hrynkiw on Oct 19,2016 0 Hi, I've the PIR sensor v1.1b . I would know some things: The distance trimmer is too sensitive near the "limit" zone. There is like 1/20 turn between nothing revealed, and continuous high signals. Which CdS photoresistor (how big) should I connect to Reply upvote (0) Mille Novanta on Oct 19,2016 0 hiI have a PIR motion sesnor version 1.1bI'm curious about one of the Specificationsthe Detecting angle: 120 degreeit means the sensing range is in front of the sensor? above the sensor?or both of them?this is not clear in the speci Reply upvote (0) Jeffrey Yang on Oct 19,2016 You can see a white guy onto the board,the sensing range is in front of the guy(vertical direction of the board). Reply upvote (0) Jacket Chen on Oct 20,2016 10:47 AM 0 Hi there. Can this be set up to provide a close to a voltage free contact? Ie. replace a dry contact doorbell which currently has zero volts to simply close a circuit? If not do you have pair which can do this? Thanks in advance Reply upvote (0) Ben Smith on Oct 19,2016 Hi,Dear.You mean to use PIR Motion Sensor instead of ordinary doorbell button, when close to the PIR Motion Sensor, the bell will ring?If so, you also need to plus a relay to control Sensor. Reply upvote (0) Jacket Chen on Oct 20,2016 10:43 AM 0 Hi, is it possible to adjust sensitivity to about 1 meter?Thanks Reply upvote (0) Mathieu Calvo on Oct 19,2016 Hi if you view the WIKI there was told you Measuring Range is 0.1m to 6m. So it is can work on 1m.
