Simple Fire Alarm Kit

Simple Fire Alarm – Short Description

The Simple Fire Alarm is a basic electronics project that detects the presence of fire or flames using a flame sensor and activates a buzzer to provide an instant warning. It is an ideal DIY kit for students, beginners, and hobbyists to learn the fundamentals of fire detection and alarm systems. Suitable for school science exhibitions, STEM education, and basic electronics projects.

Components

• 10k Thermistor

• Buzzer

• BC547 Transistor 

• Resistors
  

• 9V Battery with Battery Connector
  

Working Principle

The flame sensor detects infrared light emitted by a flame. When a flame is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the control circuit, which switches on the buzzer and LED. This provides an immediate audible and visual alert until the flame is removed or the power is switched off.
