Q & A

The RCWL-0516 and RCWL-9196 are microwave radar sensors commonly used for motion detection.

Because it uses microwaves, it can detect motion even in darkness or through specific non-metallic barriers — useful for motion detection when lighting is poor or through glass/plastic.

Features:

Uses RCWL-9196 chip
The antenna is a trace on the PCB
High-level signal output when detecting the motion with an active repeat trigger
High-speed NPN transistor Q1
360 degrees, no blind angle detection, with up to 20mt detecting distance
Detection is not affected by the surroundings, and it has better performance than the IR sensor
Support night detecting function turn on /off, adjustable repeat trigger time and detecting distance by adding the SMD c
components to the corresponding pins

Specifications:

Working voltage: 4 – 28 VDC
Operating current: less than 3mA (max)
Output voltage: 3.3V
Output current: 100mA maximum
Operating frequency: 3.2GHz
Transmission power: 30mW (max.)
Detection range: less than 120 degrees taper angle within 20 meters
Trigger mode: repeat trigger
Delay time: 2 seconds
Active level: high (when motion is detected)
Board Size: 35.9 x 17.3mm
Output interface: 3V3 (3.3V power supply output), GND (ground), OUT (output signal), VIN (power in), CDS (detection can be turned off during the day by soldering an external photoresistor to ground)
