 You can use this Simple Alarm to protect the door or Window. It gives a loud beep and switch on the room light when an intruder/burglar attempts to breaks the door lock. The alarm functions only after 5 minutes to confuse the intruder.


Working of this burglar alarm circuit is simple. IC1 is used to trigger the SCR after the delay of 5 minutes and a Reed switch (Normally Open) is used to control the working of IC1. CD4060 oscillates and gives high output only when its reset pin 12 is grounded. When the door is closed, Magnet is close to the reed switch and it closes. Reset pin of IC1 now becomes high through R1 and it remains off. When the door opens, magnet move away from the reed switch and IC1 starts tp oscillate with the components C1 and R3. After 5 minutes, its Q8 output becomes high and triggers the SCR. Relay and the buzzer then turns on. Relay can be used to drive an AC load like room light or AC buzzer. SCR remains latched until its Anode voltage is removed by pressing S2 (Normally closed push switch).

inspite of using ic 4060  can

inspite of using ic 4060  can we interface reed switch with microcontroller?.for example

one end of reed switch given 9 volt and other end is connected to micro-controller, when door will be opened  reed switch will be in close mode, as magnet fixed on the door is moved away. the  end of reed switch interfaced with micro-controller will give high to micro-controller at that pin, and buzzer connected on ather pin will get activated.. 

plz reply as soon as possible.. 

It is possible. You will need

It is possible. You will need to use NC (normally closed) type reed switch.

can you lessen the time delay

can you lessen the time delay of this circuit? ..if yes,what specific parts do i need to replace? please reply quickly
