Subject- Approval for the Minor Project of *Rain Detector Alarm
Circuit *

Respected Sir,
We Abhinav Srivastava , Abhishek kotnala and Arjun are the student
of 4th Semester ECE branch. In Minor project our group is decided
to make the project as name Rain Detector Alarm Circuit. Our group
has searched all releavent information to this Project & all the
component are also available in market.
So, we request you to kindly grant us the permission to make this
project for fulfillment of required of Diploma.
Thanking you,

 INRODUCTION
Rain Detector Alarm Project is simple but very useful
project that detects rain (rain water) and
automatically triggers an alarm or buzzer. Water is a
basic need in every one’s life . saving water and proper
usage of water is very important . Here is an easy
project which will give the alarm when there is rain, so
that we can make some actions for rain water
harvesting , we can increase the levels of underground
water by using underwater recharge technique . Rain
water detector will detect the rain and make an aleart ;
rain water detector is used in the reliable circuit of rain
water detector which can be constructed at low cost
irrigation field, home automation, communication ,
automobiles etc. Here is the simple and irrigation field,
home automation , communication , automobiles
etc.zzzzz

What is a Rain Sensor?
A sensor that is used to notice the water
drops or rainfall is known as a rain sensor.
This kind of sensor works like a switch.
This sensor includes two parts like sensing
pad and a sensor module. Whenever rain
falls on the surface of a sensing pad then
the sensor module reads the data from
the sensor pad to process and convert it
into an analog or digital output. So the
output generated by this sensor is analog
(AO) and digital (DO).
 Working
The rain sensor working principle is pretty simple.
The sensing pad includes a set of uncovered
copper traces which mutually work like a variable
resistor or a potentiometer. Here, the sensing pad
resistance will be changed based on the amount
of water falling on its surface. So, here the
resistance is inversely related to the amount of
water.

When the water on the sensing pad is more, the

conductivity is better & gives less resistance.
Similarly, when the water on the surface pad is
less, the conductivity is poor & gives high
resistance. So the output of this sensor mainly
depends on the resistance.
