Circuit Diagram Description An reverse biased germanium diode is used here as a heat sensor at normal room temperature the reverse resistance of the diode is very high in the order of over 10 kilo ohms so it produce no effects on the transistor Q1 which conducts and keeps the reset pin 4 of ic 555 at its ground level, and so the alarm doesn’t get activated. When the temperature in the vicinity of the diode (the sensor) increases in case of fire, the reverse resistance of the germanium diode drops at about 70 degree its resistance drops to a value below 1 kilo ohms this stops Q1 conduction and the 555 ic pin 4 becomes positive through the resistor R1 which activates the alarm. Note: For installation of the alarm two or three reverse biased germanium diode can be connected in parallel at different locations in case of fire any of the diode can sense the heat and can activate the alarm. DR25 Germanium diode is recommended for use but still it can be replaced with base emitter junctions o...

Fire Sensor (Hamamatsu UVTRON) UVTRON Hamamatsu R2868 is a sensor that detects a flame fire that emit ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light emitted from a candle flame is a 5 meter can be detected by this sensor. This sensor can also detect some unseen phenomena such as high voltage transmission. In order for this UVTRON sensors to connect to the system microcontroller then required a series of lawyer-signal condition that serves to change the response of UVTRON into pulses that can be recognized by the system microcontroller. With Module C3704 UVTRON response will then be processed into about 10 pulses mS and the maximum current 100mA. The output module uses the open configuration collector.
