My advice is to look at the marking on the IC fitted to the board – once you know the device type, look up the pin connections for the 0V and +V (taking note of the operating voltage). Then trace (or buzz-out) the PCB tracks of those IC pins (0V & +V) back to the connector pins of the PCB; the third pin will be the signal out pin.

They provide specifications:
Mini PIR Motion Sensor Specifications
  • Operating Voltage Range: DC4.5-20V
  • Static current: <60uA
  • Output level: High 3.3V / Low 0V
  • Trigger: repeatable trigger (default)
  • Delay time: 8S + -30%
  • PCB Dimensions: 10 * 23mm
  • Induction angle: <100 degree cone angle
  • Induction distance: 3 meters
  • Working temperature: -20 – +80 degrees
  • Sensor Lens Dimensions: Diameter: 10mm (default)
They also mention the center pin is the signal out and I see a (-) marking on one pin so I see it as this:

They do not mention a source or sink current but do cover how to connect it to an Arduino and provide a code sample. My guess is you get a logic high (3.3 volts) when it detects something. I would use that to turn on a switching transistor like a 2N2222 and use the transistor to drive you load be it an LED or whatever.

I see as I typed Dodgydave was kind enough to provide a data sheet which shows the use of an NPN transistor to drive a small load.
