5. A typical premises security alarm employs the following components:
a) Sensors:
Devices which detect interruptions.
b) Alerting devices:
Bells, sirens, and/or flashing lights.
c) Keypads:
Function as the human-machine interface to the system.
Feature indicator lights, a small multi-character display, or both.

6. The portion of electromagnetic spectrum having wavelengths longer than visible
light wavelengths, but smaller than microwaves.
The region roughly from 700nm to 1 mm.
Emitted by objects with temperature above 0 kelvin.
Sensors that detect/measure infrared radiation or change in the radiation from
outer source or inbuilt source.

• And produces an output.
The output value indicates which of the inputs is greater or lesser.

IR pair (IR Land Photodiode)
555 timer IC
ED IC LM358
Resistor 100, 10k, 100k, 330, 220 ohms
Capacitor 10uF
Variable resistor – 10k
Buzzer

IR Based Security Alarm
19. Explanation
IR LED emits IR radiation and photodiode detects the radiation.
Someone moves through this beam, IR rays stops falling on photodiode and Buzzer
start beeping.

20. Explanation
Op-amp LM358:
Two voltage comparators inside it, and we have used
one comparator here.
- end (PIN3) of voltage comparator is connected to the Photodiode and + end
(PIN 2) of voltage comparator is connected to a variable resistor of 10k.

IR Based Security Alarm
21. Explanation
Voltage at + end of voltage comparator is higher than - end and the output of
the comparator is HIGH.
Comparator output is connected to the trigger PIN of the 555 timers, so when
the Trigger pin 2 is high, the 555 output is low.
During the period when the IR rays falls on Photodiode, the 555-timer output
remains LOW.
21
IR Based Security Alarm
22. Explanation
When there is some movement, falling of IR rays on Photodiode gets interrupted.
Voltage at + end of voltage comparator becomes higher than – end.
Output of comparator LOW and makes the Trigger PIN 2 of 555 timer LOW. This
trigger the 555 timer, and 555 timer’s OUTPUT goes HIGH and Buzzer beeps.
Beep can be increased by changing the value of R1 or C1.
555 IC gets triggered when Trigger PIN 2 gets LOW.

23. Direction To Use
Check the infrared led is glowing or not by using a camera.
Alarm turns off after about 5-10 seconds of getting the contact with IR
again.
Range of the circuit is about 5m.
Vary the variable resistor to increase or decrease the intensity of the IR
LED for better performance in lighting conditions.
Heat sinks should be used with the 7806 ICs or the IC may get damaged if
the circuit is powered on for a long time.

25. Precautions
The connection should be neat clean and tight.
While completing the circuit we should remember of cathode and anode
terminal of IR LED, photodiode and Buzzer.
All the components must be checked weather they are working or not.
Distance between IR LED and photodiode must not be greater than the
range of IR rays.
Power supply must be 9V D.C.

26. Applications
Night Vision Device IR Tracking
If not enough visible light available to see
unaided.
Convert ambient photons of light into
electrons and amplify them using a
chemical and electrical process before
finally converting them back into visible
light.
Infrared tracking, also known as infrared homing.
It is a missile guidance system which operates using
the IR E.M radiation emitted from a target to track
it.
These missile systems are often known as 'heat-
seekers' as infrared is radiated strongly by hot
bodies such as people, vehicles and aircraft.
