SYNOPSiS
silicon photodiodes.
LEDs are sensitive to temperature. This can
sensitivity.
Photodiode:
"A photodiode is a type of photo-detector capable of
converting light into either current or voltage, depending
upon the mode of operation."
Step 3: Sensing
All you have to do is to attach the multimeter to read the
voltage coming off the LED, that's it! Try pointing the
LED at different light sources and see how the reading
changes
Burglar Alarm
The circuit illustrated here is used as Burglar alarm. LDR
is kept at such a place that when thief enters our house
then a shadow will fall on the LDR. A small beam of light
source is also needed to supply continuous signal to LDR.
For best Light source we can use Laser diode which will
work for few km. For home use Infra Red LEDs will be
good and will be tricky to thief and works with same
efficiency at night.
This circuit uses a popular timer I.C which is 555. I.C 555
is connected as comparator with pin 6 connected with
positive supply, the output goes high-1 when the trigger
pin 2 is at lower than 1/3 level of the supply voltage,
conversely the output goes low-0 when it is above 1/3. So
small change in voltage of pin 2 is enough to change the
output state of pin 3 from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1. The output
has only two states high and low and cannot remain in any
intermediate stage. It is power by 9V battery for
portable use. The circuit is economical in power
consumption. Pin 4,6& 8 is connected to the positive
supply and pin 1 is grounded.
To detect the present robber we have used LDR and a
source of light.
LDR is a special type of resistance whose value depends
on the brightness of the light, which is falling on it. It
has a resistance of about 1 megaohms when in total
darkness, but a resistance of only about 2-5k ohms when
brightly illuminated. It responds to a large part of the
light spectrum.
The source of light and LDR is so adjusted with a
reflector that light will directly fall on the LDR, but
when robber enters inside then it will block the beam of
light and LDR will be under darkness.
We have made a potential divider circuit with LDR and
100 K variable resistance connected in series. Voltage is
directly proportional to conductance so more voltage we
will get by this divider when LDR is getting light and low
voltage in darkness. Sensitiveness can be adjusted by
variable resistance. Divided voltage is given to pin 2nd of
555. As soon as LDR gets dark the voltage of the pin 2
drops 1/3 of the supply voltage and pin 3 gets high and
Buzzer Beeps.
In this Demo we have used ordinary LED.
Components:-
1) 9V battery with snap
2)LDR
3)Variable resistance 100K ohms
4)Resistance 470 ohms
5)LED
6)IC 555
7)Switch
OBSERVATIONS
When light falls on the LDR then the LED will
start to glow.
When light doesnt fall on the LDR , the LED
will NOT glow.
RESULT
The the circuit gives a high voltage when the
LDR is in high light & a low voltage when the
LDR is in the shade.
