Pin Details
Pin 1 2 3 Name out +5v GND Details Active high output Power supply input Power supply ground

Using The Sensor

Connect ground and vcc pin to +5v and gnd. Connect out pin to port pin of controller for interfacing with applications.

Working
The fire sensor circuit is too sensitive and can detect a rise in temperature in its vicinity. The fire sensor module consists of IR sensor, comparator and LED. It has got three pins gnd, vcc and out. Whenever fire is detected by IR sensor LED glows, and out pin is set high. The out pin can be given as input to the microcontroller and can be used for any fire detection applications. Whenever the LED is ON it indicates that fire is detected. For example you can connect it to a buzzer via microcontroller and when out pin of fire sensor module is set high the is ON. And the range of the sensor is 2 meters.
