Panic Alarm Circuit Design Guide

This panic alarm circuit uses a NE555 timer IC to generate a 1Hz oscillating signal when a push button is pressed. The circuit components include a 9V battery, push button, buzzer, and resistors and capacitors to set the timing for the NE555 in astable mode. When the button is pressed, the NE555 will toggle the buzzer on and off repeatedly at 1 second intervals to create an audible alarm signal, alerting others that the user has pressed the panic button due to an emergency situation. The simple low-cost design makes it reliably operable without sensitive components.

THE 555 TIMER IC IS AN


INTEGRATED CIRCUIT USED IN
A VARIETY OF TIMER, DELAY,
PULSE GENERATION, AND
OSCILLATOR APPLICATIONS.
DERIVATIVES PROVIDE TWO
OR FOUR TIMING CIRCUITS IN
ONE PACKAGE. INTRODUCED
IN 1972 BY SIGNETICS, THE 555
IS STILL IN WIDESPREAD USE
DUE TO ITS LOW PRICE, EASE
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.

DESIGN
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.
• THE IC 555 IS USED IN THE ASTABLE MODE WITH
THE FREQUENCY DEPENDING ON THE VALUES
OF RESISTORS R2, R3 AND C2. THE VALUES OF R2
= 100KΩ, R3 = 22KΩ AND C2 = 10ΜF.
• BY SUBSTITUTING THE GIVEN PARAMETERS IN
THE RESPECTIVE FORMULAS FOR IC 555 IN
ASTABLE MODE, WE GET THE FOLLOWING
WORKING VALUES. THE FREQUENCY OF OPERATION OF
THE CIRCUIT IS CALCULATED TO BE 1 HZ. BY
FINDING THE TIME PERIOD OF THE CIRCUIT BY
USING THE FREQUENCY INFORMATION, WE GET
THE TIME PERIOD OF THE CIRCUIT AS 1 SECOND.
THIS MEANS THE CIRCUIT HAS A ON -OFF
REPEATING TIME PERIOD OF ABOUT 1 SECOND.
• AFTER ANALYZING THE ON AND OFF TIME PERIOD OF
THE PANIC ALARM CIRCUIT GIVEN ABOVE, WE FIND
THAT THE CIRCUIT WILL REMAIN ON FOR ABOUT 0.845
SECONDS AND OFF FOR ABOUT 0.152 SECONDS.
• THE CIRCUIT IS IN THE DISABLED MODE WHEN THE
BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED AND HENCE THE ALARM WILL
NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED.
WORKING ALTHOUGH THE POWER SUPPLY WILL BE SUPPLIED TO
THE IC 555 ALL THE TIME, THE CIRCUIT WILL OPERATE

(CONTD.) IN THE ASTABLE MODE ONLY WHEN THE IC IS


ENABLED. THE IC IS IN THE ENABLE MODE ONLY WHEN
PIN 4 OF THE 555 IC IS GIVEN A HIGH VOLTAGE.
• THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED.
THE BUTTON CAN BE MADE TO HAVE A PLASTIC
ENCLOSURE TO HAVE A BETTER VISIBILITY AND EASE
OF ACCESS TO IT. FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DEMONSTRATION, I HAVE CONNECTED A SIMPLE
BUZZER TO THE OUTPUT OF THE 555 IC. 
THE END
