ABSTRACT: In
this work a review of existing fire-detector types has been carried out along
with the development of a low cost, portable, and reliable microcontroller
based automated fire alarm system for remotely alerting any fire incidents in
household or industrial premises. The aim of the system designed is to alert
the distant property-owner efficiently and quickly by sending short message
(SMS) via GSM network. A Linear integrated temperature sensor detects
temperature beyond preset value whereas semiconductor type sensor detects
presence of smoke or gas from fire hazards. The sensor units are connected via
common data line to ATMega8L AVR microcontroller. A SIM300CZ GSM kit based
network module, capable of operating in standard GSM bands, has been used to
send alert messages. The system is implemented on printed circuit board (PCB)
and tested under different experimental conditions to evaluate its
performances.
