    This document provides information about the RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Motion Detector module. It uses microwave Doppler radar rather than a PIR sensor to detect moving objects within a range of about 7 meters. When motion is detected, its output pin switches from low to high for 2-3 seconds before returning to the low idle state. It operates on a 5V supply and has a typical current of 2.8mA. The document also provides brief data, mechanical dimensions, pin diagrams, an Arduino code example, and information about the manufacturer.

    RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Motion Detector


    This module has been designed as an alternative to the PIR motion detectors commonly used
    in burglar alarms. Instead of sensing changes in infrared light emitted by a moving person,
    this sensor uses a microwave Doppler radar to detect moving objects. It has a sensitivity
    range of ~7 meters. When triggered its trigger output pin will switch from (LOW) 0V to high
    (3.3V) for ~ 2 to 3 seconds before returning to its idle LOW state.

    SKU: SSR1018

    Brief Data:

     Operating Voltage: 5Vdc.


     Operating Current: >3mA (2.8mA typical).
     Operating frequency: ~3.2GHz.
     Transmit power: 20mW (typical) / 30mW (max).
     Connector: 2.54mm right angle header pin. Breadboard friendly.
     Size: 36mm x 17mm.

    Application with Arduino:
    Connect the microwave motion detection module as below schematic:

    Upload the below sketch to Arduino board:

    int detectPin = 10;


    bool detect = false;
    int led = 13;

    void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial.println("Starting...\n");
    pinMode (detectPin, INPUT);
    pinMode (led, OUTPUT);
    }

    3 www.handsontec.com
    void loop() {

    detect = digitalRead(detectPin);

    if(detect == true) {
    digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
    Serial.println("Movement detected");
    }
    else {
    digitalWrite(led, LOW);
    }

    delay(1000);
    }

    For effective motion detection, the component side of the module must be facing toward the moving object.

    Open up the Arduino IDE Serial monitor and set the baudrate to 115200, when motion is detected, a message will be
    display on the Serial Monitor. The onboard LED ‘L’ will light up at the same time when moving object is detected.
