RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor Module
The RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor Module is a cutting-edge alternative to traditional PIR motion sensors, designed to detect movement using microwave Doppler radar technology. Unlike PIR sensors that detect infrared radiation emitted by moving objects, the RCWL-0516 senses motion through changes in electromagnetic waves, offering enhanced reliability and sensitivity.
- Microwave Doppler Radar Technology: Utilizes microwave signals to detect motion, providing a more robust and reliable method compared to infrared sensors.
- Extended Sensitivity Range: Capable of detecting movement within approximately 7 meters, making it ideal for security and automation applications.
- TTL-Level Output: When motion is detected, the sensor’s output pin switches from LOW (0V) to HIGH (3.3V) for a duration of 2 to 3 seconds, ensuring clear and precise signal detection.
- Flexible Power Input: The module can operate with a wide range of input voltages, from 4V to 28V, allowing for versatile application in various power environments.
- Penetrating Detection Capability: Unlike PIR sensors, the RCWL-0516 can detect motion through certain materials such as glass and thin walls, making it suitable for concealed installations.
- Adjustable Block Time and Detection Distance: Allows for customization of the sensor's response time and sensitivity range to suit specific requirements.
- Compact and Easy to Integrate: Its small form factor and straightforward interface make it simple to incorporate into existing designs or new projects.
- Operating Voltage: 4.0V to 28.0V DC
- Detection Range: Up to 7 meters
- Output Voltage: 3.3V (HIGH when motion detected)
- Operating Current: 3mA (typical)
- Output Duration: 2-3 seconds after detecting motion
- PCB Dimensions: Approximately 37mm x 17mm
- Weight: ~5 grams

Pinout:
- CDS: Sensor disable input (active LOW). When pulled low, the sensor is disabled.
- VIN: Power supply input (4V to 28V DC).
- OUT: Output signal pin (HIGH when motion is detected, LOW when idle).
- GND: Ground connection.
- 3V3: Provides a regulated 3.3V output (100 mA max), useful for powering other components in the system.
-
Compact Design: The module’s small size allows it to be integrated into tight spaces, and it can be easily mounted on a PCB or within an enclosure.
