ABSTRACT
The standard smoke detector is not designed for the hearing impaired. Also in case of there is no
any person in the place of the detector, no body will hear the alarm and therefore there is no fast
action. Standard smoke detectors are inadequate in all these cases. In this paper, the smoke
detector was enhanced by connecting it with a personal computer for monitoring and controlling
purposes and using the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) to send and receive an
SMS (short message Service) from the place of the detector to the involved person. Therefore,
improve the chances for reducing the risks to life and property.
1- Introduction
Smoke detectors are devices mounted on the wall or ceiling and automatically sound a warning when
they sense smoke or other products of combustion. There are many types of smoke detector devices, they
are classified according to their principle technique of detection [1, 2]. One of the more reliable detectors
is the photoelectric smoke detector. Its response is much faster than the ionization smoke detector [3]. A
light obscuration smoke detector type is used in our system of detection, which employs a light source
and a photosensitive receiving device [4, 5].
In this paper, smoke detector system enhancement is done by connecting already available photoelectric
smoke detector circuitry to personal computer (pc) via the pc parallel port then integrating a wireless
technology into them for sending and receiving an SMS [6].
When the smoke particles partially block the light beam, the reduction in light reaching the
photosensitive device alters its output. When the output of the photosensitive crossed by the detector
threshold the comparator output become "1", which forward biased the transistor Q1 and consequently
activate the relay. The relay circuit activates an alarm circuit and transmits a signal to the PC via a
parallel port.

circuit
On detection of smoke, the smoke detector circuit will raise an alarm signal that will activate a relay
which connected to it. This relay is connected to the pc via parallel port. The parallel port status register
address is used to read the status of the parallel port. This will allow for reading the alarm signal coming
from the smoke detector circuit.
When the alarm is read, the program sends a specified message (for example: fire alarm) to specified
mobile station through the mobile station that connected to the pc via IR.
According to the restore message that will be received from the specified mobile station; through the
mobile station that connected to the pc via IR; the extinguisher will be turn on or off.
