Abstract:
Fire disaster is a great threat to lives and property. As we know that
the occurrence of fire accidents in and around results in loss of life.
In order to overcome this, we proposed a project named “Flame
Sensor Fire Alarm.” In this, we interface flame sensor with Arduino.
Flame sensor module has photodiode to detect the light and op-amp
to control the sensitivity. It is used to detect fire and provide HIGH
upon the detection. Arduino reads the signal and provides alert by
turning on buzzer and LED. Flame sensor used here is an IR based
flame sensor. This project involves the usage of Arduino UNO,
flame sensor, buzzer and jumper wires. This system detects fire at
an early stage, in turn, helps in early reaction, saving lives and
property. It protects us and our residence.

Introduction:
The design of a flame detection system is an interesting system. This
system helps you to detect fire in advance without any loss of life
and property. In this project, we use Arduino, flame sensor, buzzer
and jumper wires. Flame detectors represent a type of automatic
detection method and imitate human sense of sight. They are line of
sight devices that operate on either an infrared, ultraviolent
or combination principle. The advantage of flame detection is
that it is extremely reliable in a hostile environment. They are usually
used in high value energy and transportation applications where
other detectors would be subject to spurious activation.
Common uses include locomotive and aircraft maintenance facilities,
refineries and fuel loading platforms and mines. The flame sensor
detects the presence of fire or flame based on the infrared (IR) emitted
by the flame. Arduino reads the signal and provides alert by turning
on buzzer and LED.

Components Used:
• Flame Sensor
• Arduino UNO
• Jumper Cables
• Breadboard
• Micro Buzzer
• Arduino USB Cable

Circuit Diagram:

Flame Sensor has three pins (some may have four pins): VCC, GND and
DO. Connect VCC and GND to +5V and GND of the power supply (can
be connected to Arduino’s +5V). the DO (short for Digital Output) is
connected to Digital I/O Pin 11 of Arduino.
In order to indicate the detection of a flame or fire, a Buzzer is used.
The Buzzer circuit consists of a 1KΩ Resistor, an NPN Transistor (like
2N2222 or BC548), a 5V Buzzer and a PN Junction Diode.

The Buzzer is driven through Digital I/O 12 pin of Arduino UNO.

Working:
Make the necessary connections and upload the code to Arduino UNO.
To test the functionality of the flame sensor, place a fired lighter or a
match stick in front of the sensor.

Under normal conditions, the output from the Flame Sensor is HIGH.
When the sensor detects any fire, its output becomes LOW.

Arduino detects this LOW signal on its input pin and activates the
Buzzer.

Applications:
Flame Sensors are very important devices in detecting fire and they can
be used in a variety of applications/areas like:

• Car or Automobile
• Fire fighting robots
• Garage safety equipment
• Warehouses
