Fire Alarm Circuit using TransistorIn this amazing article we are going to make a fir alarm circuit. A Fire Alarm System is a device that makes a loud sound to warn people when there is a fire. In this project we have design a Simple and inexpensive fire alarm circuit by using a transistor BC547 and an IR receiver sensor. This Fire circuit alert through buzzer sound whenever any kind of fire detected in the air or an environment. It can detect any kind of fire such as radiation, heat, etc. Depending on the types of sensor that matches an application is selected. In the market, most of the circuits are expensive and difficult to buy. An Infrared Light sensor, on the contrary, is sensitive and very easy to use. Block Diagram of Fire alarm circuitComponents Required for fir alarm circuitThe list of necessary components items required for Fire Alarm Circuit:
Fire alarm circuit diagramThe circuit diagram of this device is given below. Fir Alarm circuit Diagram for 9vYou can operate this circuit by suing 9 to 12v battery with a slight change in the circuit. We have to use only 1 resistor with LED because LED will burn without a resistor if we use more than 6 volts. Working ExplanationThe working of fire alarm circuit is very easy. An IR sensor is an electronic device that is used to detect infrared radiation falling on it. The heart of the fire alarm circuit is an infrared receiver and infrared transmitter. In default operating conditions when infrared light is shining from the infrared transmitter it will have low impedance. So the voltage at the base will be very low and the transistor will remain in off position. In case when a fire is detected by the infrared beam will not be able to pass to a receiver. The resistance of the receiver rises and the voltage at the base will become positive and the transistor turns on. Buzzer and LED are connected with the transistor will also be on. ApplicationSome important applications of Fire Alert circuit are as follows
AdvantagesSome advantages of fire alarm system are given below
Classes of Fire AlarmThere are total seven classes of fire alarm system. These classes don’t show how to wire anything, these classes show what happens when things go wrong.
