Application End of Line Resistor (EOLR) and Voltage Divider for Passive Infrared Motion Sensor

Abstract

End of Line Resistor (EOLR) is a resistor that has a certain value to protect the circuit at the end of a loop or zone. The End of Line Resistors is used in security systems to enable the control panel to monitor wiring of open and closed. In this research using an Arduino microcontroller and Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensor that connected with the systematic circuit to supervisory a loop or zone. Systematic circuit use combination of the resistor as the end of line resistor and voltage divider method. Analog input on Arduino uses to detect different states of sensors. The 1K resistor in series with the sensor line provides some protection for the input pin against the unexpected current flow. The 4K7 pull-up resistor, when combined with the resistance provided by the sensor, acts as a voltage divider, exposing the analog input to a different voltage depending on the state of the sensor. The result of measurement viewed by serial monitor function on the personal computer. PIR Sensor connected with an analog pin on microcontroller running well and there is no significant voltage value changing.
