## Overview

The RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Motion Detector uses 3.2GHz Doppler radar technology to detect motion up to 7 meters with a low 5V power supply. It outputs a 3.3V HIGH signal for 2-3 seconds upon detection, making it a compact, energy-efficient alternative to traditional PIR sensors, ideal for advanced security and automation projects.

## Description

RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Motion Detector

## Features

- This module has been designed as an alternative to the PIR motion detectors commonly used in burglar alarms. Instead of sensing changes in infrared radio emitted by a moving person this sensor uses a microwave Doppler radar to detect moving objects. It has a sensitivity range of ~7 meters. When triggered its trigger output pin will switch from (LOW) 0V to high (3.3V) for ~ 2 to 3 seconds before returning to its idle LOW state.
- Features: Product code: HCSENS0040 Supply Voltage: 5V dc Supply Current: >3mA (2.8mA typical) Operating frequency: ~3.2GHz Transmit power: 20mW (typical) / 30mW (max) Size: 36mm x 17mm
- Notes: Component side should face detection area for maximum sensitivity Do not place metal objects within 1cm of antenna Trigger out - HIGH (3.3V) motion / LOW no motion 3.3V output is for reference only - do not use to power other devices. Device operates at ~3.2GHz/20 - 30mW. In some countries it may be illegal to operate this device.
- Pinout: 3V3..........Regulated output (reference only) GND.........Ground / 0V supply input OUT..........Trigger: HIGH (3.3V) motion detected / LOW (0V) idle VIN.......... 5V-12V supply input CDS..........Sensor disable input (pull low to disable)
- Schematic is available on our suport forum
