The HC-SR501 PIR Motion Detection Sensor is a passive infrared (PIR) sensor module designed to detect the motion of humans and animals by sensing changes in infrared radiation emitted by warm objects. The module incorporates a pyroelectric infrared sensor, BISS0001 motion processing IC, and a Fresnel lens, enabling reliable motion detection without emitting any infrared signals. This makes it a low-power, highly efficient solution for motion sensing applications.

Operating from a 4.5V to 20V DC supply, the HC-SR501 provides a 3.3V TTL digital output whenever motion is detected. The module features adjustable sensitivity (up to approximately 7 meters) and adjustable output delay (typically 5 seconds to 300 seconds) using onboard potentiometers. It also supports Repeatable (H) and Non-Repeatable (L) trigger modes, allowing users to configure the module according to their application requirements. Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, PIC, AVR, and other microcontrollers, the HC-SR501 is widely used in security systems, automatic lighting, smart home devices, robotics, and IoT projects.

FAQ

1. What is the HC-SR501 PIR Motion Detection Sensor used for?

The HC-SR501 is used to detect the movement of people or animals in applications such as security systems, automatic lighting, home automation, robotics, occupancy detection, and IoT projects.

2. Can the HC-SR501 detect stationary objects?

No. The HC-SR501 detects changes in infrared radiation, so it responds to moving warm objects such as people or animals. Stationary objects generally do not trigger the sensor.

3. Is the HC-SR501 compatible with Arduino and ESP32?

Yes. The module operates from 4.5V to 20V and provides a 3.3V TTL digital output, making it compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, AVR, PIC, and other microcontrollers.

4. Can the detection range and delay time be adjusted?

Yes. The HC-SR501 features two onboard potentiometers that allow users to adjust the detection distance (approximately 3–7 meters) and output delay time (approximately 5–300 seconds) according to their application.

5. What is the difference between Repeatable and Non-Repeatable trigger modes?

In Repeatable (H) mode, the output remains HIGH as long as motion continues to be detected. In Non-Repeatable (L) mode, the output goes HIGH once for the selected delay period and ignores additional motion until the delay has elapsed.
