Product Description

RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Motion Sensor Module

High-Sensitivity Human Body Detection Module for Arduino

The RCWL-0516 is a microwave radar sensor module using Doppler radar technology to detect human movement through walls and other obstacles. It provides a digital output for simple integration with Arduino and other microcontrollers.

Detects Movement Through NonMetallic Surfaces Sees through walls, wood, plastic, and glass
Wide 3.3V to 5V Operation - Compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems
Operating voltage: 4.5V to 5V for most modules, with some 3.3V variants available .
Detection range: 3 to 7 meters (adjustable via onboard potentiometer) .
Unlike PIR sensors, this module requires no warm-up time and is not affected by heat sources .

Key Features

+Microwave Doppler Technology - Detects movement by sensing frequency changes in reflected radar waves .

+PIR Replacement - Better sensitivity and coverage angle compared to standard PIR sensors .

+Adjustable Sensitivity - Onboard potentiometer for setting detection range .

+Onboard LEDs - Power and trigger indicators provide immediate feedback .

= Applications =

  1. Smart lighting and automatic switches .
  2. Security systems and motion-activated alarms .
  3. Intelligent home automation .
  4. Long-distance human detection projects (such as in hallways) .
High Sensitivity - Detects motion through many materials and in complete darkness .
Versatile and Reliable - A great alternative to PIR sensors.

√ Works with Arduino, ESP32, and other 3.3V/5V logic boards .

√ Simple 3-pin interface: VCC, GND, OUT .

√ Repeatable trigger mode keeps output active while motion persists .
