VERSATILE ALARM
This project can be used to make five different alarms just by replacing input sensors only. No other changes or adjustments needed in circuit.

PRINCIPLE
Circuit is wired around popular timer chip 555. It is wired as low frequency astable multivibrator to drive a buzzer and L.E.D. Darlington pair formed by two BC547 transistors used to interfere sensors to alarm circuit. Normally reset pin(pin 4) of 555 timer is held low. So alarm does not sound. But when transistors conduct reset pin is held high. Then alarm is activated. This principle is used here.
Power supply for the circuit is 9 volts. By adjusting 100K variable resistor, alarm beeping rate can be varied.
APPLICATIONS
Just by changing the inputs, different alarms can be produced which can be used in burglar alarm, photo lighting, touch bell, wake up alarm, rain alarm, sensors in sports fields etc.
