IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A SERIES PROTECTION RESISTOR BE BUILT INTO THE MICROPHONE PLUG AND LEADS WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL VOLTAGE SOURCE

The pyroelectric sensor or Passive Infrared ~~Sensor~~ (PIR) is activated when you change the IR radiation that reaches it. It is powered by 12 V and connected to the mic input of a XO1. When the sensor is activated, the program emits a 1000 Hz tone and displays a photograph of the moving hot body that triggered the alarm.

When the sensor is activated, the program emits a 1000 Hz tone and displays a photograph of the moving hot body that triggered the alarm.

In addition to the ~~PIR~~ and laptop, a source of 12V DC is required. For the ~~PIR~~ sensor shown, power requirement is 9 to 16 V DC and current consumption at 12 V is 12 mA, its output is relay NC (normally closed ~~R=0 ohms~~, open circuit when triggered)

In addition to the sensor and laptop, a source of 12V DC is required. For the sensor shown, power requirement is 9 to 16 V DC and current consumption at 12 V is 12 mA, its output is relay NC (normally closed, open circuit when triggered)
