BATHROOM LIGHT TIMER

OBJECTIVE:

The automatic bathroom light off timer is built around IC 555 timer which will turn off the
light after a preset time of 1 minute when there is no one in the bathroom.

ABSTRACT:

The automatic bathroom light off timer is built around IC 555 timer which will turn off the
light after a preset time.
The main advantages of this circuit are when there is no one in the bathroom it will
automatically switch off the light after preset time, thus saving electricity. Once timer
switches off it will not reset automatically until we supply power. Consume no current in
standby mode therefore longer battery life. Provide facility to set time according to the
requirement. It can be easily mounted.

INTRODUCTION:

Give a brief description of the application addressed in the project.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENT/DESCRIPTION:

IC555, Relay (5 Pin), LED, Diode, Capacitor, etc

Give the description

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS:

Supply voltage (VCC) 4.5 to 15 V


Supply current (VCC = +5 V) 3 to 6 mA
Output current (maximum) 200 mA
Power consumption (minimum operating) 30 mW@5V
Operating temperature 0 to 70 °C

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

DESIGN FORMULA:
In this circuit 555 timer is wired as one shot timer whose timer period can be easily
calculated by the formula,

T=1.1*R1*C1
=1.1*1000*1000*1000µf
=1.1

where T is in seconds, R is in ohms and C is in farads.

DESIGN ISSUES:
 Maximum supply voltage should not exceed 15V
 Humidity should not exceed 85% relative humidity.
 Timing tolerance should not exceed +10 sec for 1 min.

APPROACH/METHODOLOGY:

When anybody wants to use the bathroom, he will press the switch momentarily. As soon
as switch is pressed, relay connected to pin 3 of IC1 gets energized and switches "on" the
light connected to the relay. After the preset time, the output of timer will go low and de
energizes the relay, thus switching "off" the load connected to the relay. In this circuit you
can adjust the time with the help of VR1 and calculate the time period from the above
formula.
One must take care of specification of relay before mounting like how much load current it
will support. It is always suggested to keep the relay coil current within 200mA. If you
want to exceed the coil current one must use driver transistor to drive the relay

CONCLUSIONS:
Thus the Bathroom Light Timer Circuit is constructed and the LED turns OFF
automatically after the Preset Time thereby saving electricity

APPENDIX:

IC 555 :

●
IC 555 is a very commonly used IC for generating accurate timing pulses. It is an 8pin
timer IC and has mainly two modes of operation: monostable and astable. In monostable
mode time delay of the pulses can be precisely controlled by an external resistor and a
capacitor.

RELAY ( 5 PIN ) :

Relay is an electromagnetic device which is used to isolate two circuits electrically and
connect them magnetically.

LED :

LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes. They are super compact and do not emit heat ; most
commonly used in emergency lightings, automotive tail lights.

4
DIODE ( 1N 4001 ) :

1N4001 is a member of 1N400x diodes. Diode is a rectifying device which conducts only
from anode to cathode. Diode behaves open circuited for the current flow from cathode to
anode. 1N4001 is a 1A diode with low forward voltage drop and high surge current
capability.

CAPACITOR ( 1000 UF ) :

●
Capacitor is a passive component used to store charge. The charge (q) stored in a capacitor
is the product of its capacitance (C) value and the voltage (V) applied to it. Capacitors
offer infinite reactance to zero frequency so they are used for blocking DC components or
bypassing the AC signals.

POTENTIOMETER :

Potentiometer (Pot) is another class of variable resistors and is used as an adjustable


voltage divider. It consists of a fixed resistance track having connections at both ends and a
sliding contact, called wiper, which moves along this track by turning the spindle.
