The first PIR circuit diagram for sensing moving humans is shown above. In the above section we learned the datasheet and the pinouts of a standard PIR sensor now lets' move on and study a simple application for the same: 1) PIR Human Movement Detector Circuit using Op Amp This pin also becomes the output pin out of the device and the detected infrared signal is carried forward to an amplifier from pin#2 of the sensor. Pin#1 which corresponds to the "drain" terminal of the dvice should be connected to the positive supply, which must be ideally a 5V DC.Īnd pin#2 which corresponds to the "source" lead of the sensor must be connected to ground via a 47K or 100K resistor. It's quite simple to understand the pinouts and one may easily configure them into a working circuit with the help of the following points:Īs indicated in the following diagram, PIN#3 of the sensor should be connected to the ground or the negative rail of the supply. The image shows a typical PIR sensor pinout diagram. This charge is then further enhanced by the built-in FET and fed to the output pin of the device which becomes applicable to an external circuit for further amplification and for triggering the alarm stages.

The detected radiations are converted into an electrical charge proportional to the detected level of the radiation. The term "passive" indicates that the sensor does not actively take part in the process, meaning it does not itself emit the referred infra red signals, rather passively detects infrared radiations emanating from warm blooded animal in the vicinity. PIR is the acronym for Passive Infra Red. 4) Another Simple PIR Based Alarm Circuit.3) Human Presence Detector using Two PIR Modules.2) PIR Motion Detector and Security Alarm Circuit.1) PIR Human Movement Detector Circuit using Op Amp.
