PIR (Motion) Sensor
Passive infrared motion sensor with adjustable sensitivity and 2–4 s output delay; detects movement up to ~6 m away. Includes a 30 cm cable with socket for remote mounting.
Pinout
- + voltage power
3-pin Adafruit PIR sensor cable: red cable is + voltage power. The guide says PIR power is usually 3-5VDC input but may be as high as 12V.
Type · powerVoltage · usually 3-5VDC input; may be as high as 12V - - ground power
3-pin Adafruit PIR sensor cable: black cable is - ground power.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V ground - signal out
3-pin Adafruit PIR sensor cable: yellow is the signal out. The guide describes the PIR output swinging high or low when motion changes the sensed infrared level.
