Usually when we enter in our room in darkness, we find it difficult to
locate the wall mounted switchboard to switch on the light, for a stranger, it
is tougher still as he has no knowledge of the correct switch to be turned on.
Here is a reliable circuit that takes over the task of switching on and
switching off of the lights automatically, when somebody enters or leaves
the room during darkness. This circuit has the following features.
The lights turns off only when the room is vaccent, or in other words, when
all the persons who entered the room have left.
A seven segment display shows the number of persons currently inside the
room.
In this project we use two infra red sensors. oth connected in the door. Two
photodiode!s are also connected to the receiver circuit to detect the infra red
signal. oth the infra red sensor is connected to the I" ### as a monostable
timer. In attach with the sensor and ### we use one up down counter circuit.
Up down counter increment and decrement the input pulses and display it
on the seven segment display. $ne logic circuit to compare the total number
of person in the room is also involved in this project. %or this purpose we
use I" &'(# ' bit binary comparator to compare the total number of person
in the room.

In this monostable timer we use I" ### . *in no ( of this I" is connected to
the positive supply. *in no + is connected to the negative supply. *in no Is

### I". -orking of this project is just like this when -hen any body enter
in the room then one infra red sensor is active and one I" is enable and at
this time second ### is disable. -hen any person came out from the room
then other ### is on and disable first I" and enable this second one. ote
that only one sensor is on at a time. -ith the help of this I" we give a up
and down pulse to the up / down counter.
*hotodiode is connected to the pin no via k ohm reistor. k ohm is
grounded from the . In normal way when we switch on the circuit both the
infra red sensor is on and light is fall on the photodiode. ow when any
body enter in the room then circuit sense the intruption and at this time ###
gives its output. $utput from the this ### is connected to the up0down
counter through npn transistor. Here we get this output from the collector
of the transistor. This collector point is also connected to the pin no ' of
second I". $utput available on the collector point is negative and due to
this pin no ' of the ne1t I" is become negative and hence this ### is off.

Working of infra red transmitter and receiver circuit.
This type of infrared pro1imity circuit is widely used as an electric switch
where physical contact is not desired for hygiene purpose. %or e1ample, we
commonly see use of infrared pro1imity sensors on public drinking
fountains and in public washrooms. The simple circuit presented here can be
operated by moving your hand in front of it. This is achieved by detecting
the infrared light reflected by your hand onto a receiver device.
%ig. + shows the circuit of the touch0free timer switch. It has two sections?
transmitter and receiver. The I) transmitter is built around timer >;"###
@I"+, which is wired as an astable multivibrator. The multivibrator produces
5(kH9 pulses @at low duty cycle that drive an infrared >=8 @>=8+. This
freBuency can be tuned using a +60kilo0ohm preset @C)+. A 60ohm series
resistor @)5 ensures that the current consumption of the I) transmitter is not
out of arrangement.
The receiver section is built around I) receiver module T;"### @I" and a few discretecomponents. The T

designed as an I) filter.
-hen a short I) burst is received by I)D+ @as you wave your hand in front
of the switch, the demodulated pulses are fed to the trigger input @pin of
the second >;"### @I". This, in turn, triggers the monostable wired
around I" and its output pin 5 goes high for a period determined by the .0
mega0ohm potentiometer and capacitor "#. This turns off the standby
indicator @>=8+ and transistor T+ conducts to drive the #C relay @)>+.
>=8+ enables you to locate the switch in the dark. A" mains supply to the
load to be switched0on is routed through the pole and normally0opened
contacts of )>+ as shown in the diagram. The circuit works off regulated #C

from the front panel. To prevent unwanted reflection of the I) beam, the
finished unit should be mounted such that it does not face a nearby wall.
Using high0precision linear potentiometer C) and capacitor "# @+66E%,
the time length can be set from nearly + second to +6 seconds. Attach a
small paper dial on the front panel of the enclosure and mark various
positions of the control knob of C) as shown in %ig. 5. The accuracy of the
timer depends mainly upon the Buality @and value of timing capacitor "#. In
practice, most electrolytic capacitors are rated on the basis of minimum
guaranteed value and the real value may be higher.

Photo Transistor
A phototransistor is in essence nothing more than a normal bipolar
transistor that is encased in a transparent case so that light can reach the
ase0"ollector diode. The phototransistor works like a photodiode, but with
a much higher sensitivity for light, because the electrons that tunnel through
the ase0"ollector diode are amplified by the transistor function.
*hototransistors are specially designed transistors with the base region
e1posed. These transistors are light sensitive, especially when infrared
source of light is used. They have only two leads @collector and emitter.
-hen there is no light the phototransistor is closed and does not allow a
collector0emitter current to go through. The phototransistor opens only with
the presence of sufficient light
An opto electronic device that conducts current when e1posed to light is the

Infrared
Infrared@I) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer
than visible light, but shorter than microwave radiation. The name means
Fbelow redF @from the >atin infra, FbelowF, red being the color of visible
light of longest wavelength. Infrared radiation has wavelengths between &66
nm and + mm.
I) is often subdivided into near0I) @I), 6.&0# Em in wavelength, mid0I)
@;I) @also intermediate0I) @II), # 0 56 Em and far0I) @%I), 56 0 +666
Em. However, these terms are not precise, and are used differently in the
various study. Infrared radiation is often linked to heat, since objects at room
temperature or above will emit radiation mostly concentrated in the mid0
infrared band
Uses
Infrared is used in night0vision eBuipment, when there is insufficient visible
light to see an object. The radiation is detected and turned into an image on a
screen, hotter objects showing up brighter, enabling the police and military
to chase targets.

=8s to emit infrared radiation which is focused by a
plastic lens into a narrow beam. The beam is modulated, i.e. switched on and
off, to encode the data. The receiver uses a silicon photodiode to convert the
infrared radiation to an electric current. It responds only to the rapidly
pulsing signal created by the transmitter, and filters out slowly changing
infrared radiation from sunlight, people and other warm objects.
The light used in fiber optic communication is typically infrared.

Diode
A diode functions as the electronic version of a one0way valve. y
restricting the direction of movement of charge carriers, it allows an electric
current to flow in one direction, but blocks it in the opposite direction.
A diodeGs current0voltage, or I0C, characteristic can be appro1imated by two
regions of operation. elow a certain difference in potential between the two
leads, the diode can be thought of as an open @non0conductive circuit. As
the potential difference is increased, at some stage the diode will become
conductive and allow current to flow, at which point it can be thought of as a
connection with 9ero @or at least very low resistance
Light-emitting diode
A light-emitting diode (LD! is a semiconductor device that emits
incoherent monochromatic light when electrically biased in the forward
direction. This effect is a form of electroluminescence. The color depends on
the semiconducting material used, and can be near0ultraviolet, visible or
infrared. ick Holonyak r. @+2( 0 developed the first practical visible0
spectrum >=8 in +23.

LD Technolog"
A >=8 is a special type of semiconductor diode. >ike a normal diode, it
consists of a chip of semiconducting material impregnated, or doped, with
impurities to create a structure called a pn junction. "harge0carriers
@electrons and holes are created by an electric current passing through the
junction, and release energy in the form of photons as they recombine. The
8/12/2019 48828741 Automatic Room Ight Controller
15/22
wavelength of the light, and therefore its colour, depends on the bandgap
energy of the materials forming the pn junction. A normal diode, typically
made of silicon or germanium, emits invisible far0infrared light, but the
materials used for a >=8 have bandgap energies corresponding to near0
infrared, visible or near0ultraviolet light.
Unlike incandescent bulbs, which can operate with either A" or 8", >=8s
reBuire a 8" supply of the correct polarity. -hen the voltage across the pn
junction is in the correct direction, a significant current flows and the device
is said to beforward biased. The voltage across the >=8 in this case is fi1ed
for a given >=8 and is proportional to the energy of the emitted photons. If
the voltage is of the wrong polarity, the device is said to be reverse biased,
very little current flows, and no light is emitted.
