This document describes an automatic fire alarm circuit using an IR LED and buzzer. The key components are an IR LED, which transmits infrared radiation, a buzzer to sound the alarm, and a 9V battery. When the IR path is obstructed, such as by smoke in a fire, the buzzer will sound to alert of the potential fire. The circuit works by having the IR LED on one side of a door frame and an IR sensor on the other - under normal conditions the sensor receives the IR radiation, but if the path is blocked the buzzer will activate the alarm.
