Motion Sensor- PIR Sensor

In this blog you will learn about Motion Sensor, how it work, how to install it. So lets start introduction about Motion Sensor or PIR Sensor.

Introduction

A motion sensor light offers peace of mind and safety when it lights up a dark driveway, sidewalk or yard. Here's how to install one, along with tips to prevent it from coming on when you don't want it to.

When used as part of a lighting system, the electronics in the PIR typically control an integral relay capable of switching mains voltage. This means the PIR can be set up to turn on lights that are connected to the PIR when movement is detected. This is most commonly used in outdoor scenarios either to deter criminals (security lighting) or for practical uses like the front door light turning on so you can find your keys in the dark.

Additional uses can be in public toilets, walk-in pantries, hallways or anywhere that automatic control of lights is useful. This can provide energy savings as the lights are only turned on when they are needed and there is no reliance on users remembering to turn the lights off when they leave the area.

How Do Motion Detectors Work?

Motion detectors are small electronic eyes that detect infrared waves, i.e. heat waves that radiate from moving objects. When the detector senses an object moving across its field of view — especially warmer objects such as people, animals and cars — it electronically turns on the lights

Tools Required

1. screwdriver
2. Voltage tester
3. Wire stripper/cutter
4. Pvc Tape
5. some wires

Follow the Steps.

• Choose the area to put Motion Lights
• Shut off the Electricity for safety purpose.
• Connect PIR Sensor with bulb as in video
• Mount PIR Sensor and bulb on ceiling
• Set the control (Time and Lux)
• Turn on the Electricity

In this video we have explain the connection of PIR OR MOTION sensor. with the help of we can control the light. It can be use in light, A/C and save energy. PIR Motion is easily connected in Home automation and PIR sensor is used 2 detect motion of human or any warm bodies. Using the PIR motion sensor we can cover a larger area of sensing which can be used in our homes for security and even for home automation.
