Overview
The RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor is a motion detection module that uses Doppler radar technology to detect moving objects. Unlike PIR sensors, it can sense motion through thin walls or glass, making it versatile for smart home devices, lighting automation, and security systems.
Features
- Microwave Motion Detection: Detects movement using Doppler radar technology.
- Wide Sensing Range: Up to 5-7 meters with a 360° detection angle.
- Penetrates Materials: Can sense through thin walls, glass, or plastic.
- Low Power Consumption: Ideal for energy-efficient applications.
- High Sensitivity: Detects even slight movements.
Specifications
- Operating Voltage: 4V to 28V DC
- Current Consumption: ~3 mA
- Detection Range: 5-7 meters
- Detection Angle: 360° (omnidirectional)
- Output: Digital high/low signal
