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.

To observe the performance and response of the system to adverse fire situations, 10 individual simulation tests were performed with varying smoke, gas, and temperature conditions

Summary

Introduction

With the advancement of human civilization, fire-safety has been a prime concern. Fire hazards can be fatal andHow to cite this paper: Asif, O., Hossain, Md.B., Hasan, M., Rahman, M.T. and Chowdhury, M.E.H. (2014) Fire-Detectors Review and Design of an Automated, Quick Responsive Fire-Alarm System Based on SMS. There comes the necessity of standalone autonomous fire detection systems. These systems render the works of quick detection, alarm notification, and sometimes initiation of fire extinguishing. The systems, equipped with smoke, temperature, pyro-electric sensors can detect unfavourable accidental situations, as it happens, and with the help of a processing unit can alert instantly for undertaking cautious measures. In these fatal situations, early detection and faster alert will yield lesser losses of property and life
