Product Description
- The RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor is a compact Doppler radar sensor module that supports a wide voltage range of DC 4-28V. It serves as an alternative to the PIR sensor and is commonly used in various security alarm systems. This module is outfitted with the RCWL-9196 chip, which operates on Doppler microwave induction technology. It automatically outputs a continuous high-level TTL signal in the presence of motion, with both delay time and sensitivity being adjustable. This makes it ideal for DIY projects like microwave motion sensor light switches, human sensor toys, and smart security devices.
Features:
- Equipped with RCWL-9196 chip supporting 4-28V wide voltage input, high level signal output when detecting the motion with active repeat trigger
- 360 degree no blind angle detection with 5-7m detecting distance, the detection not affected by the surroundings, better performance than the IR sensor
- Support night detecting function turn on /off, adjustable repeat trigger time and detecting distance by add the SMD components to the corresponding pins
- Compared with the traditional infrared feeling PIR, with the penetrating detection capability
- Block time, distance adjustable
