Flame Sensor: by Superkings

The document describes a flame sensor and how it works with an Arduino board. It detects flames using an infrared photodiode that senses the infrared light emitted by fire. When a flame is detected, the sensor output goes low and it triggers an alarm by activating a buzzer and LED on the Arduino. The sensor module and Arduino code provided allow the setup to detect flames and respond to prevent damage or hazards.

Flame Sensor

By Superkings
CONNECTION WITH ARDUINO:
FLAME SENSOR:
A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and
respond to the presence of a flame or fire. Responses
to a detected flame depend on the installation, but
can include sounding an alarm, deactivating a fuel line
(such as a propane or a natural gas line), and
activating a fire suppression system
HOW DOES IT WORKS?
The flame sensor detects the presence of
fire or flame based on the Infrared (IR)
wavelength emitted by the flame. It gives logic
1 as output if flame is detected, otherwise it
gives logic 0 as output. Arduino Uno checks the
logic level on the output pin of the sensor and
performs further tasks such as activating the
buzzer and LED, sending an alert message .
When fire burns it emits a small amount of Infra-red
light, this light will be received by the Photodiode (IR
receiver) on the sensor module. Then we use an Op-
Amp to check for change in voltage across the IR
Receiver, so that if a fire is detected the output pin
(DO) will give 0V(LOW) and if the is no fire the output
pin will be 5V(HIGH)

There are different types of flame detection methods.


Some of them are: Ultraviolet detector, near IR array
detector, infrared (IR) detector, Infrared thermal
cameras, UV/IR detector etc.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
CODE:
int buzzer = 8;
int LED = 7;
int flame_sensor = 4;
int flame_detected;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(flame_sensor, INPUT);
}
void loop()
{
flame_detected = digitalRead(flame_sensor);
if (flame_detected == 1)
{
Serial.println("Flame detected...! take action immediately.");
digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
delay(200);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
delay(200);
}
else
{
Serial.println("No flame detected. stay cool");
digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
}
delay(1000);
}
