    The document summarizes a student's project to create an automatic light control system using infrared (IR) sensors. The circuit uses an IR light emitting diode (LED) and phototransistor detector to detect when an object passes between them, activating a relay and turning a light on or off without the need for physical contact with switches. When IR rays from the LED hit the detector, the 741 operational amplifier IC activates the relay to power the light. Adjusting a potentiometer varies the sensitivity of the photo detection module. The simple, low-cost circuit avoids short circuit dangers of physical switches and could control hidden locks or flush systems with hand movement only.

    Automatic light control with IR


    Name of Student: Gaurav Kumar Yadav Semester: 7th Session: 2011-12 Branch: Electronics & Communication Engg. Synopsis:
    Normally, home appliances are controlled by means of switches, sensors, etc. However, physical contact with switches may be dangerous if there is any shorting. The circuit described here requires no physical contact for operating the appliance. You just need to move your hand between the infrared LED and the infrared rays transmitted by IR LED is detected by the IR detector to activate the hidden lock, flush system. It is simple compact and cheap. Current consumption is low in milliamperes. The circuit is built around an IC 741, IRLED, detector and other discrete components. When regulated 5V is connected to the circuit, IR LED emits infrared rays, which are received by phototransistor D2 if it is properly aligned. Positive side is connected to non-inverting pin 3 of IC 741. Inverting pin 2 of IC1 is connected to voltage-divider present RV1. Using present RV1 you can vary the reference voltage at pin 2, which also affects sensitivity of the photo module. The working of the circuit is simple. In order to switch on the appliance, you simply receive the infrared rays falling on the diode through transmitter. During the transmission the appliance remains on through the relay. Transmitter off, the appliance turns off through the relay. Assemble the circuit on any general purpose PCB. Identify the resistors through colour coding or using the millimetre. Check the polarity and pin configuration of the IC and mount it using base. After soldering the circuit, connect +5V supply to the circuit.
