A motion sensor light switch is great way of saving energy short fall period. A PIR sensor light
switch will automatically detects when someone enter the room or any place where motion sensor is
set. Then, after a few minutes(adjusted by your desires) where no movement has been detected, the
lights will then automatically turned off. Although a motion sensor switch is indeed a big and
important invention . In fact, you can install a motion sensor light switch much in the same way as you
would a single pole light switch.

All living things (human or animals), whose body temperature is more than 0 degree Centigrade ,
emit the heat in form of infrared radiation through their body, also called as thermal radiations. This
Radiated energy is invisible to human eye. These heat Signals can be detected by using PIR sensor
which is specially designed for such purpose.
This is a motion detector sensor which detects movement of human beings and triggers its output to
High state (low or high). It operates in two modes low and high. The mode is selected by the jumper
provided on the rear side of the PIR sensor PCB that is shown on figure given below. If sensor with
input voltage capability of 12V is not in your reach, use LM 7805/7806 regulator to control the 12v
current if you give 12v current directly the sensor may be damaged.
Modes of PIR sensor

Normal Mode: When the Passive infrared sensor detects motion it sets output to High until set time
end, independent of the movements during the output HIGH time. This is One­time triggering mode.
Re­Triggering Mode: When the PIR sensor detects motion, it sets the output to High until a set time
become Low, but if it detects motion during its output High state 1, it again triggers the timer making it
to count from zero.
Sensitivity Adjust
With this potentiometer you can set the range which you want.
You will have to play a little with this to see what is the appropriate setting for your desired purposes.
An increased sensitivity can be beneficial for when using a PIR sensor for long range, say up to 6
meters or more.
A decreased sensitivity is good for a very short range say maximum range or up to 10 feet. Which in
turn could miss movements at a longer range.
Delay Time Adjust
The Delay Time indicates how long the PIR sensor will keep the Output High (ON) as detecting
motion.
For example, when motion has been detected, you could set this somewhere between a few
seconds up to a few minutes time period.
