 Generally, in security systems, infrared or laser transmitters 
and receivers are used. But these methods are cost effective. 
 This article explains about PIR based security system in which 
PIR sensor is used instead of transmitter or receiver. 
 This saves the power consumption and is low cost.
PIR sensor based security system principle 
 The main principle of the circuit is to provide security. This is 
based on PIR sensor with an IC that produces siren. 
 The PIR sensor detects the IR radiations emitted from the 
humans and it produces a digital output. 
 This digital output is applied to the UM 3561 siren IC. Thus it 
produces the sound when any human is detected.

PIR sensor 
 PIR sensor is a passive sensor abbrevated as pyroelectric 
infrared sensor. 
 A pyroelectric infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic 
sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects 
in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based 
motion detectors. 
 It is important to note that PIR sensors don't detect or measure 
"heat" instead they detect the radiation from an object.
UM 3561 
 UM3561 is a low-cost, low-power CMOS LSI designed for 
use in alarm and toy applications 
 UM 3561 is a siren IC 
 It is a ROM IC 
 It generates multi siren tones like ambulance siren, fire engine 
siren, police siren, machine gun sound.
PIR sensor based security alarm system design 
 The proposed system mainly consists of PIR sensor, UM3561 
IC, Speaker, transistors. 
 The UM3561 has 8 pins. Fifth and sixth pins are shorted and 
are connected to the PIR sensor output through a resistor. 
 One end of the 220K resistor is connected to the seventh pin of 
the IC and the other end is connected to the eighth pin of the 
IC. 
 Output is taken from the third pin of the IC.
Working of PIR sensor based security system 
 Switch on the circuit initially. 
 The PIR sensor is powered and it detects the IR rays emitted 
from any human. 
 This PIR sensor has a range of 5meters. One can adjust the pot 
provided for the sensor to vary this distance. 
 When any human is detected, this PIR sensor outputs a logic 
high value i.e. voltage of 3.5v to 5v. 
 This voltage is applied as input to the siren generator IC.
 The siren generator has an oscillator internally, to produce the 
sound. 
 Thus oscillations along with selected tone are sent to the 
address counter. The address counter then sends the data to the 
ROM. 
 ROM then sends the tone on the output pin 3. 
 The output is given to the NPN transistor to amplify the siren. 
 Thus sound produced can be heard from the speaker when 
human is detected.
Applications 
 This can be used in the museums to protect the valuable 
things. 
 This can also be used as an automatic door bell circuit that 
rings the bell when human is detected. 
 This can be used in defense applications to detect the humans 
in war field. 
 This can be used in toy applications that produce sound.
