The post discuses two simple motion detector circuits using op amp and transistor. We also discuss the pinout details of the standard passive infrared (PIR) sensor RE200B. PIR sensors are rather generic and for the most part vary only in price and sensitivity. Most of the real magic happens with the optics. This is a pretty good idea for manufacturing: the PIR sensor and circuitry is fixed and costs a few dollars. Can anyone help me to make a PIR sensor circuit according to the RE200B and a Fresnel Lens? Datasheet and pictures attached. S - choose between 1 k to 4.7 K - GND and G is GND. Sorry Magician. I looked at the datasheet, the sensor is a IR detector and a JFET for D & S, there for a commun source amplifier. Read data sheet again. The first circuit uses an op amp, while the second design works with a single transistor and relay for detecting the IR radiation from a moving human body and activating the a relay activated alarm. What is a PIRPIR is the acronym for Passive Infra Red. 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. The detected radiations are converted into an electrical charge proportional to the detected level of the radiation. 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. PIR Pinout DetailsThe image shows a typical PIR sensor pinout diagram. 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: As indicated in the following diagram, PIN#3 of the sensor should be connected to the ground or the negative rail of the supply. 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. And pin#2 which corresponds to the 'source' lead of the sensor must be connected to ground via a 47K or 100K resistor. 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. 1) PIR Human Movement Detector Circuit using Op AmpIn 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: The first PIR circuit diagram for sensing moving humans is shown above. A practical implementation of the explained pin-out details can be witnessed here. In the presence of a human IR radiation, the sensor detects the radiations and instantly converts it into minute electrical pulses, enough to trigger the transistor into conduction, making its collector go low. The IC 741 has been set up as a comparator where its pin#3 is assigned as the reference input while pin#2 as the sensing input. The moment the collector of the transistor goes low, the potential at pin#2 of the 741 IC becomes lower than the potential at pin#3. This instantly makes the output of the IC high, triggering the relay driver stage consisting of the another BC547 transistor and a relay. The relay activates and switches ON the connected alarm device. The capacitor 100uF/25V makes sure that the relay remains ON even after the PIR is deactivated possibly due the exit of the radiation source. The PIR device should be suitably enclosed inside a Fresnel lens cover so that its efficiency is adequately enhanced. 2) PIR Circuit using a Single TransistorThe second idea below explains a simple PIR motion detector alarm circuit which can be used for activating lights only in the presence of a human, thus saving precious electric power. Written and Tested By: SSkopparthy How it WorksHere is a simple circuit that activates a relay when a living being (a human) is detected by the PIR sensor. Here PIR stands for Passive Infrared sensor. It doesn’t produce any infrared radiations to detect the presence of a living being but on the other hand it detects the infrared radiations released by them. This circuit uses a HC - SR501 IC which is the heart of the circuit. Initially when the moving object is detected by the sensor, it produces a small signal voltage(usually 3.3 volts) which is fed to the base of the transistor BC547 through a current control resistor and hence, its output goes high and it switches the relay on. A more Comprehensive Diagram can be Visualized below: Relay WiringThis relay can be configured to be used with a electrical bulb or a tubelight, night lamp or anything else that works on 220VAC. This circuit is mostly used in gardens, so that at night, when we go for a walk in the garden, the circuit switches on a light automatically and it remains lit until we are in the sensor’s vicinity and it gets turned off when we move away from that place and hence reducing the electricity costs. Here’s a back view of the sensor HC-SR501… HC-SR501 PinoutsPIR Sensor Front View:The sensor consists of two preset resistors which can be used to control the delay time and sensing range. The delay potentiometer can be adjusted to decide the time for which light remains on. The sensor when purchased, it comes with the default mode ‘H’ which means that the circuit switches on the light when somebody moves within the zone and it remains on for preset time and after the preset time lapses, if the sensor could still detect motion, it does not switch the light off in the absence of a moving target, it switches off the light. Here are the technical details of the sensor HC-SR501
One of the disadvantages PIR sensors is that its output goes high even when a rat or a dog or some other animal moves in front of it and it switches on light unnecessarily. In cold countries, the sensor’s sensing range increases. Due to low temperature, infrared radiations released by humans travel more distances and hence causing unnecessary switching of lights. If installed in backyards, there are chances of activating of light when a car passes by because the radiations emitted by hot engine of car fools the sensor. PARTS LIST:

After completing the construction of the circuit, enclose it in a suitable casing and use a separate casing for the sensor and connect the sensor to circuit using long wires so that you can place sensor at the place you wish like in a garden and circuit will be inside so that the circuit is protected from weather. And remember to use a separate PCB for relay. Also, don’t forget to use a suitable relay with correct current and voltage rating. You can use a terminal block which connects to the relay’s switching contacts, and arrange it as shown in image so that you can change the electrical device connected to relay contacts easily. Usage of this sensors save electricity to great extents. It could reduce your electricity bills too! “PLEASE SAVE THE POWER FOR THE NEXT HOUR!” If the above PIR moving human detector design is intended to be used with an alarm and a lamp such that both the loads operate during night but the alarm only during day, then the diagram may be modified in the following manner. The idea was suggested by Mr. Manjunath Industrial ApplicationThe post illustrates an industrial motion sensor circuit using a couple of LDRs, an IC and a few other passive components. The circuit senses the movement of a cylinder illuminating the appropriate LEDs for the required detection. The idea was requested by Mr.Hasnain. Technical SpecificationsI have sent you request on Google account, i am not sure that you got my messages or not, so i am sending you my problem here again, please help me out i shall be very thankful to you, i hope you will understand my problem and solve it.. sir it is related to motion sensing, and i have no knowledge about sensors, that which type i should use.problem : there are two levels, ( level means height), level A, and level B. height A > height B.i want to use sensors at these levels, so from now i will say sensor A and sensor B. i have two indication lights RED and GREEN there is a cylinder that moves from up to down and then down to up and so on.first it will move from up to down and will come in front of sensor A. ( at this time RED light should turn ON and GREEN turn OFF) and moving downward cylinder will come in front of sensor B. ( this should make no difference, i,e RED should remain ON, and GREEN should remain OFF ). then cylinder will start moving upward, first it will move away from sensor B. ( at this time RED should turn OFF and GREEN turn ON), then moving upward cylinder will move away from sensor A, ( this should make no difference. i,e RED should remain OFF and GREEN should remain ON).then again repeat. The Circuit DesignThe proposed idea is quite straightforward and can be understood with the following points: When power is switched ON, the IC is reset through the 0.1uF capacitor ensuring the green LED illuminates first. At this position both the sensors sensorA (LDR1) and sensorB (LDR2) are able to receive the lights from the relevant laser beams focused at them.LDR1 switches ON BC547 transistor while LDR2 does the same for BC557 and keeps it triggered. Due the above actions the transistor BC557 passes the supply voltage to pin#14 of the IC. However since LDR1 ad BC547 are also conducting this potential gets grounded, and the net potential at pin#14 remains at logic low or zero. Now as the cylinder lowers and comes in front of LDR1, it blocks the beam making LDR1 resistance high, shutting OFF BC547. This allows the voltage from the BC557 to hit pin#14 producing a forward sequence at the output of IC which results in illuminating the red LED and shutting off green LED. The cylinder continues its downward motion and comes in front of LDR2 blocking its beam and lowering its resistance, this stops the transistor from conducting such that the potential at pin#14 of the IC is again switched back to zero, however this action does not effect the IC since it's specified to respond only to positive pulses. Next, the cylinders reverts and starts moving upwards and in the course unblocks the LDR2 beam allowing the BC557 to conduct, and yet again the positive pulse from the transistor is allowed to hit the IC pin#14 resulting in the restoration of the previous situation i.e. now green LED illuminates and the RED shuts off.As the cylinder moves past LDR1, BC547 also switches ON, but produces no effect due to the same reasons as explained above. The above motion detection cycle keeps repeating in response to the specified cylinder movement. Circuit DiagramPIR Security Alarm with Delay EffectWhen the PIR is triggered, the BC547 switches ON which in turn prompts the TIP127 to switch ON. However, due to the presence of the 220uF capacitor the base emitter voltage of this PNP transistor is unable to attain the required 0.7V quickly, and the LED does not light up until the 220uF is fully charged. When the PIR is switched OFF, the 220uF is able to quickly discharge through the 56K resistor, rendering the circuit in a standby position quickly. The 1N4148 diode ensures that the circuit works only as a delay ON PIR circuit and not as a delay OFF. Pyroelectric ('Passive') InfraRed sensors: ''What is a PIR sensor?'' PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often referred to as PIR, 'Passive Infrared', 'Pyroelectric', or 'IR motion' sensors. PIRs are basically made of a pyroelectric sensor (which you can see above as the round metal can with a rectangular crystal in the center), which can detect levels of infrared radiation. Everything emits some low level radiation, and the hotter something is, the more radiation is emitted. The sensor in a motion detector is actually split in two halves. The reason for that is that we are looking to detect motion (change) not average IR levels. The two halves are wired up so that they cancel each other out. If one half sees more or less IR radiation than the other, the output will swing high or low. Along with the pyroelectic sensor is a bunch of supporting circuitry, resistors and capacitors. It seems that most small hobbyist sensors use the BISS0001 ('Micro Power PIR Motion Detector IC'), undoubtedly a very inexpensive chip. This chip takes the output of the sensor and does some minor processing on it to emit a digital output pulse from the analog sensor. For many basic projects or products that need to detect when a person has left or entered the area, or has approached, PIR sensors are great. They are low power and low cost, pretty rugged, have a wide lens range, and are easy to interface with. Note that PIRs won't tell you how many people are around or how close they are to the sensor, the lens is often fixed to a certain sweep and distance (although it can be hacked somewhere) and they are also sometimes set off by house pets. Experimentation is key! Some basic stats These stats are for the PIR sensor in the Adafruit shop which is very much like the Parallax one. Nearly all PIRs will have slightly different specifications, although they all pretty much work the same. If there's a datasheet, you'll want to refer to it
