How To Design Panic Alarm Circuit For Home

The document describes how to design a panic alarm circuit for homes. It discusses using a 555 timer IC in bistable mode with a BC547 transistor to handle higher currents. It provides steps to collect components, design the circuit in Proteus software, and test it. Finally, it describes setting up the hardware by assembling the circuit on a breadboard or board and placing it near the home entrance so others can be alerted in an emergency situation.

How To Design Panic Alarm

Circuit For Home?

There can be an uncertain situation at home and many times people living in the home are panicked.
For example, when a fire breaks out at home and there are only children at home they are unable to
inform anyone about the matter. During this type of situation, we might be unable to intimate the
people around us so we will design a circuit of a panic alarm so that we could inform others about the
scenario without any delay. We could place the push button at a reasonable distance to carry out
quick action in silence by pressing a single button. An indication of an emergency can either be in the
form of a visible or audible signal, which can be fixed at a few meters away through the wire. The
sign of emergency can either be in the form of a visible or audible signal, which can be fixed at a
couple of meters away through the wire.

When the RESET button is pressed the LED and buzzer goes OFF
How To Design Circuit Using 555 Timer?
Now, as we have the basic idea of the task let’s move towards collecting the components, designing
the circuit on software for testing and then finally assembling it on hardware.

Step 1: Studying The Components.


Before the implementation of this project, we need to study the components.

1. 555 Timer IC:


There are three main configurations of the 555 timer IC.

1. Astable multivibrator.

2. Monostable multivibrator.

3. Bistable multivibrator.

In our project, we need two stable states. The first one is turning ON the alarm and the second one is
turning OFF the alarm. In our case, we have configured our IC in Bistable mode. When we press
SET mode the signal is sent to the location in audible form. For turning off the alarm we use the
RESET button.
2. BC 547 Transistor:
The 555 Timer IC can only handle a few mA of current therefore we have used the BC 547 transistor
which can handle a large amount of current. The BC547 can be replaced by some other NPN
transistor part as per the voltage and current rating of the alarm and light utilized.

Step 2: Collecting The Components (Hardware)



 Transistor BC547 x 1
 Buzzer (6-12V) x 1
 The LED x 1
 Tactile Switch
 9V Battery with Holder
 Resistor 10k ohm x 2, 22ohm x 1, 1KὨ

 Breadboard x 1
Step 3: Installing The Necessary Software
Now, you need to install the below-mentioned software on your systems for running the simulation.
Link is provided for downloading the software.

 Proteus 8 Professional – You can download Proteus from Here


Step 4: Designing The Circuit On Proteus
We will design the circuit on Proteus for testing and when we will press the SET button LED should
turn ON and when we will press the RESET button LED should turn OFF. If this happens it means
our circuit is working properly.

2. Circuit Diagram After Testing:
Simulation
Step 5: Setting Up The Hardware
Now, as we have done the simulation and we know that our circuit is working properly, we will
move towards the hardware setup. The circuit can be assembled on the Vero board as well or PCB. If
somebody is using a Vero board or PCB he/she will need a soldering iron to attach the components
on them. Join the components according to the circuit diagram shown above and then place the
hardware at a suitable place. The preferred location is near to the gate of the house so that if any
panic situation occurs a signal is sent immediately and neighbors or other people walking in the street
come to know that the people living in the house need some kind of help. Circuit diagram with all the
components assembled on the breadboard is shown below so that even if a person doesn’t know
much about circuit analysis he/she should be able to do the connections accurately :
Circuit Diagram
As we have assembled the hardware we should feel safe and secure now. Furthermore, it can be
placed in the room of aged people living in our home so that if they want something or there is a state
of emergency they can immediately inform the people living in the home.
