Motion Detector Circuit

Introduction to Motion Detector:

The motion detector is not only used as intruder alarm but also used in many applications like home automation system, energy efficiency system, etc. The motion detector will detect the motion of the people or objects and give the appropriate output according to the circuit. In general, motion detector uses different types of sensors like Passive infrared sensor (which will detect the motion of the person using the person body heat), microwave sensor (Microwave sensor will detect the motion of person by measuring the change in frequency from the produced beam), ultrasonic sensor (It produces acoustic signals which will detect the motion of a person) etc.  There are some motion detectors which will use different technology and include number of sensors (PIR, microwave sensor, ultrasonic sensor, etc.) to reduce the false triggering and increase the accuracy in motion detection.
Here is the simple and reliable circuit which uses IR sensor for transmitting the IR beam and photo transistor for receiving the IR beam. If there is any disturbance or interference in between the transmitting and receiving of the beam, it will justify that there is an intrusion and makes the alert through alarm. This is circuit is easy to construct and cost of circuit is very low when compared to normal motion detector.

Block Diagram of Motion Detector:

IR sensor will produce the high frequency beam which is projected on the photo transistor with the help of 555timer at the transmitter. When this high frequency beam has got any interruption, the photo transistor will trigger the 555 timer of receiver section and gives alert through the alarm.

Motion Detector Circuit Explanation:

  • The IR sensor will make the high frequency beam of 5 kHz with the help of 555timer which is set to astable multivibrator mode at the transmitter section.
  • The IR sensor will produce the high frequency beam which is received by the photo resistor at the receiver section. This frequency will be in one phase when there is no interruption between the IR sensor and photo transistor.  Total circuit will not give any output in this phase. When there is an interruption between IR sensor and photo transistor, the beam produced by the IR sensor will be in different phase. This different phase will be immediately detected by the photo resistor and make the 555 timer to give alarm through speaker.
  • When there is no intrusion, the photo transistor will make the pin2 high of 555timer which is set in monostable mode, and there will be no output given in this configuration. When there is intrusion, the pin 2 of monostable timer is made low which will make the alarm to alert. The alarm time depends on the capacitor C1 and variable resistor POT.
Main Components in Motion Detector Circuit:
IR sensor: the main concept of IR sensor is to produce a beam of infrared light (whose wave wavelength is longer than visible rays and shorter than microwaves, in normal infrared wave length should be greater than 6µm). IR sensors are based on three different laws they are planks radiation law, Stephan Boltzmann law and Wien’s displacement law.
  • Planks Radiation Law states that the energy of electromagnetic radiation is confined to indivisible packets (quanta), each of which has energy equal to the product of the Planck constant and the frequency of the radiation (planks constant = 6.62606957 × 10-34 m2 kg /s).
  • Stephan Boltzmann Law states that total energy radiated per unit on a black body using  all wavelengths per unit time J* is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body’s thermodynamic temperature T:
Formula for J in Motion Detector
  • Wien’s Displacement Law:  the wavelength of maximum emission of any body is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin).  As a result, as the temperature rises, the maximum (peak) of the radiant energy shifts toward the shorter wavelength (higher frequency and energy) end of the spectrum.
Peak intensity occurs at this wavelength ƛ =(0.0029 meter.K)/Temperature in Kelvin
In IR sensor the infrared source and transmission of infrared are two important parts. In infrared source, there are different sources like black body radiators, tungsten lamps, silicon carbide in IR sensors. They will use infrared wavelength LED as infrared source. In transmission media it will be different like air, optical fiber etc.
Photo Transistor: Photo transistors are the detectors of IR radiation or any photo radiation. They will convert this IR radiation into current or voltage.

Applications of Motion Detection:

  • Motion detectors can be used as an intruder alarm in home, offices, banks, shopping malls etc.
  • They can be used as counting machines, automatic light control etc.
  • They can be used in energy efficient systems, home automation system and control systems.

Police Siren Circuit using NE555 Timer

Multivibrator: Multivibrator discover their own space in lots of applications as they are among the most broadly used circuits. The application can be anyone either a household application or industrial or communication, etc. The multivibrator can also work in such type of application either as an oscillator or digital flip flop or pulse generator circuit or like a timer or I can be lay generator circuit and lots more. There are mainly three types of Multivibrators. They are Astable Multivibrator: It has actually no stable state. It has two quasi steady state which rapidly alters from one to another and again to the same state. So it’s mainly alters from high to low and from low to high devoid of any input trigger input after pre settled time. Monostable multivibrator: Out of two states, one is stable state and another one is quasi state. When trigger input is given, it switches from a stable state of quasi state. And it automatically switches to a stable state ...

LED DIMMER WITH CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

In this circuit, at the starting LED glow slowly, then grown brighter and once again slowly it became dim. The basis of the whole circuit is an operational amplifier IC named LM358. Circuit Diagram of LED Lamp Dimmer: LED Lamp Dimmer Circuit Diagram – ElectronicsHub.Org Working of LED Lamp Dimmer Circuit: LM358 is mainly made up of a package which contains two not dependent operational  amplifiers of high gain. The most significant attribute of these IC is that we have no need of the  independent power supply for the functioning of each comparator till the large range of the power supply. LM358 can be employed like transducer amplifier or can be worked as DC gain block etc. The huge DC voltage gain of the LM358 IC is 100db. For the only power supply this IC can work on the voltage range of 3V to 32V while for the twin power supply this IC work on the range of ±1. 5V to ±16V . And moreover large output voltage is also supported by it. Related Post: PWM L...

Fire Alarm Circuit

This circuit alerts us when there is a fire accident at home by ringing a siren sound . You might have seen fire alarms earlier but this is quite different as it generates a siren sound instead of a buzzer and also it uses basic components to generate that siren sound. We are aware that there are many integrated circuits which can be used to generate the siren effect but we preferred to use basic electronics components like resistors, capacitors and transistors to generate it so that you will clearly understand the internal working of it and it will be much useful for you as you will gain more knowledge by analyzing it instead of simply going or pre designed integrated circuits. Circuit Diagram of Fire Alarm: Description: This circuit uses a thermistor to sense the temperature. When it senses that the temperature of the environment is increasing above a given threshold, then it gives a signal. The temperature at which the circuit detects fire can be adjusted ...
