 PANIC ALARM
There can be any sudden situation of
panic. It could be because of an intruder
entering our house or bad health
status. Situations can be many for
panicking and may vary from person to
person.
During such emergencies, we might be
unable to intimate to the people around
us. In this article we shall see how to
make a simple panic alarm, which can
help us to intimate others regarding our
bad situation without any delay.
 COMPONENTS REQUIRED
• 555 IC
• Resistor – 1KΩ
• Resistor – 22KΩ
• Resistor – 100KΩ
• Capacitor – 10µF
• 9V Battery
• Push Button
• Mini Buzzer
• Breadboard
• Connecting Wires
 DESIGN
• This circuit is made with a low cost hardware using
IC 555 timer, buzzer, a few resistors and
capacitors. It is made to be working reliably as it
has simple to use and not so sensitive hardware
like 555 timer, ceramic buzzer, capacitors, etc.
• Although no exclusive arrangement is used to
make any compensation for the variable
parameters, the circuit by default is made to be
robust and easy to use. It is very user friendly with
a single button to be pressed to handle the
panicking situation without any trouble.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
 OPERATION AND WORKING

• When switch S1 is pressed momentarily,

capacitor C1 charges to full battery voltage
and provides base current to transistor T1.
When voltage at the base of T1 rises, the
transistor starts conducting. T1 is an
emitter follower and provides charge to C2
 OPERATION AND WORKING
• When the voltage across C2 rises, T2 conducts.
This reduces the collector voltage of T2 to zero
to make pnp transistor T3 conduct. Zener diode
ZD1 regulates this supply voltage to IC1 as 3.3
volts. Capacitor C3 maintains the breakdown
voltage of ZD1. Resistors R1, R3 and R4 are
current limiters. IC1 is the siren generator with an
internal oscillator. When IC1 gets power supply
from transistor T3, it oscillates using R6 (220-kilo-
ohm), and siren tone pulses available at its pin 3
are then amplified by transistor T4 to sound an
alarm.
 OPERATION AND WORKING
• As capacitor C1 discharges slowly, the
base current of T1 drops and it stops
conducting. But T2 still conducts using the
charge available from C2. When the
charge from C2 drops, T2 cuts off making
the base of T3 positive and it turns off
immediately, removing the power from
IC1. This process takes about three
minutes, during which the alarm will be
heard.
 OPERATION AND WORKING
• Assemble the circuit on a matrix
board/general-purpose PCB as compact
as possible and enclose in a cabinet. A 9V
battery can power the circuit for a long
period. Use a small Mylar speaker to make
the unit compact.
 ADVANTAGE OF PANIC ALARM
• You are in danger of being harmed.
• Someone else close by may be in danger.
• When the person you are with is about to
or has already harmed himself.
• If there is a medical emergency.
