HC-SR501 PIR Motion Detection Sensor Module with Adjustable Trigger Jumper

HC-SR501 PIR Motion Detection Sensor Module – Adjustable Trigger & Sensitivity

The HC-SR501 PIR (Passive Infrared) Motion Sensor Module detects movement by sensing changes in infrared radiation emitted by warm bodies. With adjustable sensitivity and time-delay potentiometers, plus a selectable trigger mode jumper, it is one of the most flexible and widely used motion sensors in the maker community.

Key Specifications

• Sensor Type: Passive Infrared (PIR)
• Operating Voltage: 5V – 20V DC
• Output: Digital HIGH (3.3V) on motion detected
• Detection Range: Up to 7 meters
• Detection Angle: ~120° cone
• Delay Time: Adjustable 5s – 5 minutes (potentiometer)
• Sensitivity: Adjustable 3m – 7m (potentiometer)
• Trigger Mode: Single (L) or Repeatable (H) via jumper

Compatibility & Use Cases

The HC-SR501 outputs a 3.3V HIGH signal compatible with Arduino, ESP32, NodeMCU, and Raspberry Pi GPIO pins directly. Common applications include:

• Home security and intruder detection systems
• Automatic lighting control (motion-activated lights)
• IoT-connected occupancy sensors for smart homes
• Energy-saving device wake-up triggers
• Robotics obstacle and presence detection

The Fresnel lens dome is removable for custom field-of-view configurations. Use repeatable trigger mode for continuous motion tracking.
