Fire Alarm With Siren Sound

This circuit functions as a fire alarm that produces a siren sound rather than a buzzer. It uses basic electronic components like resistors, capacitors, and transistors to generate the siren effect in order to help the user understand how it works. When the thermistor senses that the temperature has risen above a set threshold, it triggers the transistor circuitry to turn on the siren. The capacitors in the circuit play a key role in producing the siren sound by generating an oscillating envelope waveform.

Fire Alarm with Siren Sound

Fire Alarm Circuit:


This circuit alerts us when there is a fire accident at home by ringing a siren
sound. You might have seen fire alarms earlier but this is quite different as
it generates a siren sound instead of a buzzer and also it uses basic
components to generate that siren sound.

We are aware that there are many integrated circuits which can be used to
generate the siren effect but we preferred to use basic electronics
components like resistors, capacitors and transistors to generate it so that
you will clearly understand the internal working of it and it will be much
useful for you as you will gain more knowledge by analyzing it instead of
simply going or pre designed integrated circuits.

Circuit Diagram of Fire Alarm:


Description:

This circuit uses a thermistor to sense the temperature. When it senses


that the temperature of the environment is increasing above a given
threshold, then it gives a signal. The temperature at which the circuit
detects fire can be adjusted by using the potentiometer arrangement at
RV2.

When the temperature increases above the set value, the potentiometer
arrangement produces a high voltage. This voltage is then given to BC547
transistor in common emitter mode. It is an NPN general purpose
transistor. When the base is given a high input, it gets turned on. When the
transistor is turned on, its collector voltage is reduced to low as the
collector to emitter voltage decreases. The collector output voltage of the
first transistor is given to the base as an input to the second BC 547 NPN
transistor. This transistor too is in common emitter mode and as the input is
low when the temperature threshold is reached, the output at the collector
will rise high. In this state, it will turn on the next transistor, i.e BC107. This
transistor will now act as a switch for the siren circuit. This transistor can
bear power quite larger than the BC547 and it is also equipped with a heat
sink for that purpose.

When the BC107 transistor turns on, it allows current to pass from power
supply to ground through collector thereby acting as an electronically
controlled switch. When the current is passing, the siren circuit which is
assembled as the load to the circuit is turned ON. Then you can hear the
siren sound through the buzzer. The capacitors used in the circuit are the
main components in producing the siren effect. The principle involved in
generating the siren effect is to make an oscillator with an envelope which
periodically increases and decreases so as to generate that effect.
