Product ID
BM22S4421-1

The product is a microwave radar module that transmits electromagnetic wave at frequency band of 5.8GHz. It operates based on the Doppler effect, detecting variations between the transmitted and reflected waves to determine whether a moving object is within the detection area.
It is suitable for applications of motion sensor lights, smart home, security, etc.

DESCRIPTION
Differences between microwave radar modules and PIR modules

Both microwave radar modules and PIR modules can be used to detect motions of objects, although their operations are different.
Microwave radar modules have higher sensitivity than PIR modules and are not affected by ambient light. However, they mistrigger more easily than PIR modules.

The detection angle and distance

The maximum detection distance of the product can range from 5 to 14 meters and can be configured across 7 levels.
The detection angle is 360°. The side of the product with the Best Modules logo is considered the front side. When installing, position the side with the logo facing toward the area to be detected.
For example, when installing on the ceiling, the side with the logo should face towards the ground.

⬥ Refer to ‘UART communication’ paragraph of ‘Software Parameter Adjustment Method’ in the datasheet for more details about distance configuration.

Trigger period configuration

When an object motion is detected within the detection range, the product will be triggered. The trigger period can be configured through the command from 1 to 250 seconds.

⬥ Refer to ‘UART communication’ paragraph of ‘Software Parameter Adjustment Method’ in the datasheet for more details.

Lighting control function

The function is used to detect the intensity of ambient light and then determine whether to trigger or not once detecting a motion.
For example, when applying the product in a motion sensor light, you can enable this function and configure the threshold. Once a motion is detected and the intensity of ambient light (AD value) is lower than the threshold, the light will be turned on.

Furthermore, we have designed a demo board named BCE-22S4421-1 for the product. It helps users to evaluate functions more easily.
