## Overview

The RCWL-0516 is a compact microwave Doppler radar motion sensor module featuring the RCWL-9196 IC. It detects moving objects and human presence up to 7 meters away, using radar waves instead of infrared, allowing it to sense through glass and some walls. Operating on a wide voltage range (4-28V) with low power consumption (~3mA), it’s ideal for advanced DIY security, lighting automation, and anti-theft systems, delivering reliable, high-sensitivity motion detection beyond traditional PIR sensors.

## Description

The RCWL-0516 is a Doppler radar microwave motion sensor module using the RCWL-9196 IC which can be used as an alternative to a PIR motion sensor such as the HC-SR501 or HY-SRF05. Instead of sensing changes in infrared emitted by a moving person, this sensor uses microwave Doppler radar to detect moving objects.This mini radar motion sensor module is equipped with an RCWL-9196 IC based on the Doppler microwave induction technology. When triggered its trigger output pin will switch from (LOW) 0V to high (3.3V) for ~2 to 3 seconds before returning to its LOW state. It has a maximum 7 meter (~21 feet) detection distance with adjustable delay time and sensitivity. The detector is not affected by its surroundings, and can operate through glass and other obstructions, providing better performance than traditional infrared (PIR) detectors. It is perfect for DIY microwave motion sensor light switch, security systems, human sensor toys, etc.The component side of the board is the main detection side and should face the detection area for maximum sensitivity, however, it will also detect from the back side at lower sensitivity. Do not place metal objects within 1 cm of the antenna.SpecificationsOperating Voltage: 4V - 28V, 5V - 12V recommendedOperating Current: 2.8mA (typical); 3mA (max)Maximum Detection Distance: ~7mTransmitting Power: 20mW (typical); 30mW (max)Output Control Low Level: 0VOutput Control High Level: 3.3VOperating Temperature: -20~80 CStorage Temperature: -40~100 CDimensions: 35mm x 17mm x 3mm Package Includes: 1x RCWL-0516 Microwave Doppler Radar Sensor Motion Detector Module Board Header connectors Printed operating instructions
