Burglar alarm system is an important part of home security systems.
This burglar alarm project is based on PIR sensor, UM3561 and
Speaker. PIR sensor used to detect body motion and UM3561 &
speaker to produce Police siren after any movement detection.
Required Components :

1. PIR sensor
2. UM3561 IC
3. Resistors 220K and 10K
4. Transistor BC547
5. Speaker 8ohm
6. 9V Battery and Battery Snap Connector
7. Breadboard Wires
8. Breadboard
PIR Sensor:
PIR sensor is used here to detect the Human body movement, whenever there is any body
movement, the voltage at output pin changes. Basically it detects the Change in Heat, and produce
output whenever such detection occurs. there are some useful features in PIR sensor like how to
change the distance range, how to set Alarm duration etc.
UM3561 IC :
UM3561 is a CMOS LSI IC which can generate four types of sound: Police Siren, Ambulance siren, Fire brigade siren and
machine gun sound. It is generally used in alarms and toys. It is a 8 pin IC, and only require a external resistor to work. It
has inbuilt oscillators and circuitry to produce the sounds. UM3561 works in the range of 3-5 volts, voltage higher than
5V can damage the IC, so if we are using it with other circuit or using a high voltage source, a Zener diode must be
connected, to protect the IC. The output generated by the IC is not sufficient to drive a 8ohm small speaker, so to
amplify the output of the IC, a transistor must be used at the output (PIN 3).

Pin diagram and Pin description is given below, taken from its Datasheet:

Explanation of Burglar Alarm Circuit :

This burglar alarm circuit is very simple, whenever PIR sensor detects any human body movement, its OUTPUT pin

becomes HIGH, which is connected to UM3561’s Power supply PIN 5. So UM3561 activated and start producing sound

with Speaker. As I have stated above that UM3561 doesn’t produce much output to drive a Speaker so we need to

connect a Transistor to amplify the current. As long as the PIR sensor OUTPUT pin would be HIGH, the alarm (Speaker)

will be continuously ringing, with the sound produced by UM3561. We can set the time duration of Alarm by setting

the PIR sensor’s Time delay control regulator, you can set as long as you want.

Here we should note that we didn’t used Zener diode because here in our circuit we are connecting UM3561 with PIR

sensor’s output and PIR sensor gives output of approx. 3.3v, which is in range of operating voltage of UM3561, so we

do not need any protection from high voltage. Though you can use it for precautionary purpose.
