1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 About circuit

From detectors to automobiles, audible alarms (also known to be called

buzzers) have become a part of our everyday life. Some of the uses of these alarms are

innocuous such as in a microwave oven. However, in some applications such as in a smoke

detector or medical equipment, a person’s life may depend upon the audible warning sound.

In all cases, the equipment designer should consider the desired characteristics of the

audible alarm at the initial design-planning phase to obtain satisfactory performance and

avoid costly redesign. The first characteristic for a designer to consider is the type of sound

such as a continuous, intermittent or specialty sound. Other critical criteria include sound

level, frequency, current draw, quality, mounting configuration, cost, and availability

1.2 Electromagnetic vs. Piezoelectric Alarm

Two main types of audible alarms are the electromagnetic type and the

piezoelectric type. Figure I show a summary of each type along with the different packages

available. The electromagnetic buzzer generally consists of a plastic housing with a metal

diaphragm that is flexed by an electromagnet. The main benefit of this design is the ability

to obtain low frequencies in a small package. Drawbacks include mechanical wear,

electrical noise, lower sound output, and large power consumption. The piezoelectric type

avoids electromechanical contacts by using a piezoelectric transducer. The transducer

consists of a polarized ceramic material bonded to a metal disc.

A voltage applied to the transducer will cause it toflex. A voltage that is applied and

released at an appropriate rate or frequency will produce a continuous audible sound.

Piezoelectric audible alarms offer no mechanical wear, an absence of electrical noise, low

power consumption, and a clear penetrating sound. Advances in transducer design have

allowed these devices to shrink in size and lower the sound frequency enabling them to

move into applications traditionally serviced by electromagnetic device

3. DISCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

3.1 RESISTORS –

A Resistor is a heat-dissipating element and in the electronic circuits it is mostly

used for either controlling the current in the circuit or developing a voltage drop across it,

which could be utilized for many applications. There are various types of resistors, which

can be classified according to a number of factors depending upon:

(I) Material used for fabrication

(II) Wattage and physical size

(III) Intended application

(IV) Ambient temperature rating

(V) Cost

Basically the resistor can be split in to the following four parts from the construction

viewpoint.

(1) Base

(2) Resistance element

(3) Terminals

(4) Protective means.

The following characteristics are inherent in all resistors and may be controlled by

design considerations and choice of material i.e. Temperature co–efficient of resistance,

Voltage co–efficient of resistance, high frequency characteristics, power rating, tolerance &

voltage rating of resistors. Resistors may be classified as

(1) Fixed

(2) Semi variable

(3) Variable resistor.

In our project carbon resistors are being used.

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 3

3.2 CAPACITORS:

The fundamental relation for the capacitance between two flat plates separated by a

dielectric material is given by:-

C=0.08854KA/D

Where: -

C= capacitance in pf.

K= dielectric constant

A=Area per plate in square cm.

D=Distance between two plates in cm

Design of capacitor depends on the proper dielectric material with particular type of

application. The dielectric material used for capacitors may be grouped in various classes

like Mica, Glass, air, ceramic, paper, Aluminum, electrolyte etc. The value of capacitance

never remains constant. It changes with temperature, frequency and aging. The capacitance

value marked on the capacitor strictly applies only at specified temperature and at low

frequencies.

3.3 LED (Light Emitting Diodes):

As its name implies it is a diode, which emits light when forward biased. Charge

carrier recombination takes place when electrons from the N-side cross the junction and

recombine with the holes on the P side. Electrons are in the higher conduction band on the

N side whereas holes are in the lower valence band on the P side. During recombination,

some of the energy is given up in the form of heat and light. In the case of semiconductor

materials like Gallium arsenide (GaAs), Gallium phoshide (Gap) and Gallium arsenide

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 4

phoshide (GaAsP) a greater percentage of energy is released during recombination and is

given out in the form of light. LED emits no light when junction is reverse biased.

3.4 IC 4060

IC 4060 is an excellent integrated circuit for timing applications. Its ten active high

outputs can give time delay from few seconds to hours. With a few components, it is easy to

construct a simple but reliable time delay circuit.

IC 4060 is an Oscillator binary counter cum frequency divider. Its inbuilt oscillator

is based on three inverters. The basic frequency of the internal oscillator is determined by

the value of the capacitor connected to its pin 9 and that of the resistor in its pin 10. By

increasing or decreasing the value of capacitor / resistor, time delay can be changed. Each

output goes high after the completion of the timing cycle. To get maximum time period,

output Q10 is omitted in the IC itself so that double time is available between Q9 and Q11.

Inside the IC, there is an oscillator and 14 series connected bistables (Ripple cascade

arrangement). Internally the oscillator signal is applied to the first bistable which drives the

second bistable and so on. Since each bistable divides its input signal by two, a total of

fifteen signals are available, each of half the frequency of the previous one.

Ten of these fifteen signals are available on the output pins Q3- Q13.HEF 4060 is

CMOS version which can operate at 3 volts while CD 4060 is high voltage type that can

operate between 5 to 15 volts. It is necessary to add a capacitor close to pin 16 of IC so that

minute voltage changes will not affect the timing cycle. Reset pin 12 resets the timing cycle

once it is grounded. Outputs can give almost full supply voltage to drive light loads. Heavy

loads such as relay can be operated through a driver transistor. When the high output is

connected to the pin 11(clock input) through a diode, oscillation stops and IC remains

latched in high state till it resets. Pin 11 can be used to give clock pulses from an external

source.

3.4.1 Functional Pin Diagram Of IC 4060

Fig 3.4.1 a)Functional Pin Diagram Of IC 4060

3.4.2 Pin outs of the IC 4066

Referring to the figure we see that the only input pins which require to be configured are

pin # 9, 10, 11, and 12, the all the remaining pin outs are the outputs of the IC.

The outputs are assigned for producing the time delays or the clock signals or the

oscillations or the frequency at different levels. Pin #7 generates the highest number of

frequencies for a set level, while pin #3 produces the least.

Therefore, suppose if pin # 7 generates a frequency of 1MHz, pin #5 will generate a

frequency of 500 Khz, pin # 4 generates 250 Khz, pin #6 generates 125KHz, pin #14

generates 62.5 KHz and so on, the frequency becomes half, in the order of the pin outs

7,5,4,6,14,13,15,1,2,3

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 6

The above frequency or oscillations can be initiated by connecting a few passive

components at pin #9, 10 and 11 of the IC as shown in the figure, it’s that simple.

The variable resistor is used to vary the frequency to any desired level, the capacitor value

may also be altered for changing the frequency of the IC.

Pin #12 is the reset input and should always be grounded or connected to the negative

supply. A positive supply pulse to this input will reset the oscillations or revert the IC so

that it begins counting or oscillating from the beginning.

Pin #16 is the positive of the IC and pin #8 is the negative supply input of the IC.

3.5 BC547

A BC547 transistor is a negative-positive-negative (NPN) transistor that is used

for many purposes. Together with other electronic components, such as resistors, coils, and

capacitors, it can be used as the active component for switches and amplifiers. Like all other

NPN transistors, this type has an emitter terminal, a base or control terminal, and a collector

terminal. In a typical configuration, the current flowing from the base to the emitter controls

the collector current. A short vertical line, which is the base, can indicate the transistor

schematic for an NPN transistor, and the emitter, which is a diagonal line connecting to the

base, is an arrowhead pointing away from the base.

There are various types of transistors, and the BC547 is a bipolar junction

transistor (BJT). There are also transistors that have one junction, such as the junction field-

effect transistor, or no junctions at all, such as the metal oxide field-effect transistor

(MOSFET). During the design and manufacture of transistors, the characteristics can be

predefined and achieved. The negative (N)-type material inside an NPN transistor has an

excess of electrons, while the positive (P)-type material has a lack of electrons, both due to

a contamination process called doping.

3.6 Buzzer

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 7

A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical,

electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm

devices, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

3.6.1 Types Of Buzzers

1 Mechanical

2 Electromechanical

3 Piezoelectric

1-MechanicalA joy buzzer is an example of a purely mechanical buzzer.

2-Electromechanical Early devices were based on an electromechanical system identical to an electric

bell without the metal gong. Similarly, a relay may be connected to interrupt its own

actuating current, causing the contacts to buzz. Often these units were anchored to a wall or

ceiling to use it as a sounding board. The word "buzzer" comes from the rasping noise that

electromechanical buzzers made.

3-Piezoelectric beeper A piezoelectric element may be driven by an oscillating electronic circuit or other

audio signal source, driven with a piezoelectric audio amplifier. Sounds commonly used to

indicate that a button has been pressed are a click, a ring or a beep.

3.7 Trimmer

A trimmer or preset is a miniature adjustable electrical component. It is meant to be set

correctly when installed in some device, and never seen or adjusted by the device's user.

Trimmers can be variable resistors (potentiometers), variable capacitors, trimmable

inductors. They are common in precision circuitry like A/V components, and may need to

be adjusted when the equipment is serviced. Trimpots are often used to initially calibrate

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 8

equipment after manufacturing. Unlike many other variable controls, trimmers are mounted

directly on circuit boards, turned with a small screwdriver and rated for many fewer

adjustments over their lifetime. Trimmers like trimmable inductors and trimmable

capacitors are usually found in superhet radio and television receivers, in the Intermediate

frequency, oscillator and RF circuits. They are adjusted into the right position during the

alignment procedure of the receiver.

Trimmers come in a variety of sizes and levels of precision. For example, multi-turn

trim potentiometers exist, in which it takes several turns of the adjustment screw to reach

the end value. This allows for very high degrees of accuracy

4.1 General Description Applications of this little circuit include a portable parking meter timer and

egg timer. The 14-stage binary ripple counter Type 4060, IC1, has an on chip oscillator

capable of stable operation over a relatively wide frequency range. In the present circuit, the

oscillator frequency is determined by an external RC network connected to pins 9, 10 and

11. When the circuit is switched on with S1, the pulse at junction R4-C2 resets the counter

and counting starts. When the count reaches bit 14 (Q13), pin 3 goes high so that the self-

oscillating piezo-electric buzzer, a 12 V type, is turned on via driver T1. The time delay is

set with the aid of P1. Time delays of between one minute and two hours Are possible by

appropriate dimensioning of the timing components:

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 10

1-30 minutes : C1 = 220nF; P1 = 500kW

1-60 minutes : C1 = 470nF; P1 = 500kW

1-120 minutes : C1 = 470nF; P1 = 1MW

The timer is powered by a 9V pp3 battery. Lightemitting diode Dl does not

affect the operation of the circuit and is included merely to show that the timer works.

Diode Dl and resistor R3 are, therefore, optional components. A mercury tilt switch may be

used for S1 if the unit is to be used as a kitchen timer. The timer is then started by inverting

it like a sand-glass. With the buzzer actuated, the timer draws a current of about 10mA.

6.WORKING

This timer circuit can set time at 1 minute to 2 hours.

First information, Technically, the IC 4060 is a 14-stage ripple carry binary counter,

the oscillator and divider of a monolithic integrated circuit, contained in a 16-pin dual-in-

line housing with ceramic or plastic. A phase of the integrated oscillator is a key feature of

the integrated circuit, which keeps the number of components in the integrated circuit to a

minimum at the design frequency generators or oscillators. The phase of the internal

oscillator operation easily through a network of resistors and a capacitor connected to the

pins #8, #9 and #10.

The timer time is determined by P1 and C1, through the following formula (seconds):

t = 2.3 * (P1 + 18k) * C1 * 2 ^ 13 .

The basic structure of the IC can be understood from the following:

According to the rules of standard CMOS ICs, all entries are first captured by

assigning them to specific business logic or simply a voltage (not exceeding the level of

supply voltage). For integrated circuit pin # 9, 10, 11 and 12 are active inputs. Resistance to

pin No. 11 can be considered a type of terminal or the reference resistance value that ideally

should be 10 times more than the resistor connected to the pin 10 (the combined value of

the resistor and pot fixed series).

The capacitor connected to pin # 9 is, in general, non-polar type.

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 14

No Pin 12 is the reset input of the IC on the ground must be connected so that the IC

function (swing). This entry positive stop immediately IC to oscillate and return it to its

original state. Set the pen is connected to the ground of the integrated circuit for counting

(oscillate) for some time (for example, 1 minute), the connecting pin to the positive terminal

and to immediately stop the count reset to zero.

The rest of the pin-out, the outputs of the IC that generate oscillations specific

speeds. Costs are expressed in multiples of two for the entire chain pinouts as shown in the

diagram. Pin # 3 indicates the lowest frequency, the highest or pulses at time intervals while

the spindle 7 with the highest frequency or pulses having the lowest time intervals.

Basically the IC 4060 is a oscillator/Timer IC and can be used for producing

discretely variable accurate time intervals or delays or alternatively it may also be used as

an oscillator for acquiring high grade, accurate time period oscillations of frequencies.

7.P.C.B. MANUFACTURING PROCESS

7.1 P.C.B.

It is an important process in the fabrication of electronic equipment. The design of

PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) depends on circuit requirements like noise immunity,

working frequency and voltage levels etc. High power PCBs requires a special design

strategy.

The fabrication process to the printed circuit board will determine to a large

extent the price and reliability of the equipment. A common target aimed is the fabrication

of small series of highly reliable professional quality PCBs with low investment. The target

becomes especially important for customer tailored equipments in the area of industrial

electronics.

The layout of a PCB has to incorporate all the information of the board before one can go

on the artwork preparation. This means that a concept which clearly defines all the details of

the circuit and partly defines the final equipment, is prerequisite before the actual lay out

can start. The detailed circuit diagram is very important for the layout designer but he must

also be familiar with the design concept and with the philosophy behind the equipment.

7.2BOARD TYPES:

7.2.1 Single Sided Boards The single sided PCBs are mostly used in entertainment electronics where

manufacturing costs have to be kept at a minimum. However in industrial electronics cost

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 16

factors cannot be neglected and single sided boards should be used wherever a particular

circuit can be accommodated on such boards.

7.2.2 Double Sided Boards

Double-sided PCBs can be made with or without plated through holes. The

production of boards with plated through holes is fairly expensive. Therefore plated through

hole boards are only chosen where the circuit complexities and density of components does

not leave any other choice.

7.3 CHRONOLOGY

The following steps have been followed in carrying out the project.

1. Study the books on the relevant topic.

2. Understand the working of the circuit.

3. Prepare the circuit diagram.

4. Prepare the list of components along with their specification.

5. Estimate the cost and procure them after carrying out market survey.

6. Plan and prepare PCB for mounting all the components.

7. Fix the components on the PCB and solder them.

8. Test the circuit for the desired performance.

9. Trace and rectify faults if any.

10. Give good finish to the unit.

7.4DESIGN SPECIFICATION

7.4.1 PCB DESIGNING

The main purpose of printed circuit is in the routing of electric currents and signal

through a thin copper layer that is bounded firmly to an insulating base material sometimes

called the substrate. This base is manufactured with an integrally bounded layers of thin

copper foil which has to be partly etched or removed to arrive at a pre-designed pattern to

suit the circuit connections or other applications as required.

The term printed circuit board is derived from the original method where a printed

pattern is used as the mask over wanted areas of copper. The PCB provides an ideal

baseboard upon which to assemble and hold firmly most of the small components.

From the constructor’s point of view, the main attraction of using PCB is its role

as the mechanical support for small components. There is less need for complicated and

time consuming metal work of chassis contraception except perhaps in providing the final

enclosure. Most straight forward circuit designs can be easily converted in to printed wiring

layer the thought required to carry out the inversion cab footed high light an possible error

that would otherwise be missed in conventional point to point wiring .The finished project

is usually neater and truly a work of art.

Actual size PCB layout for the circuit shown is drawn on the copper board. The

board is then immersed in FeCl3 solution for 12 hours. In this process only the exposed

copper portion is etched out by the solution.

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 18

Now the petrol washes out the paint and the copper layout on PCB is rubbed

with a smooth sand paper slowly and lightly such that only the oxide layers over the Cu are

removed. Now the holes are drilled at the respective places according to component layout

as shown in figure.

7.4.2 LAYOUT DESIGN

When designing the layout one should observe the minimum size (component body

length and weight). Before starting to design the layout we need all the required

components in hand so that an accurate assessment of space can be made. Other space

considerations might also be included from case to case of mounted components over the

printed circuit board or to access path of present components.

It might be necessary to turn some components around to a different angular

position so that terminals are closer to the connections of the components. The scale can be

checked by positioning the components on the squared paper. If any connection crosses,

then one can reroute to avoid such condition.

All common or earth lines should ideally be connected to a common line routed

around the perimeter of the layout. This will act as the ground plane. If possible try to route

the outer supply line to the ground plane. If possible try to route the other supply lines

around the opposite edge of the layout through the center. The first set is tearing the circuit

to eliminate the crossover without altering the circuit detail in any way.

Plan the layout looking at the topside to this board. First this should be translated inversely,

later for the etching pattern large areas are recommended to maintain good copper adhesion.

It is important to bear in mind always that copper track width must be according to the

recommended minimum dimensions and allowance must be made for increased width

where termination holes are needed. From this aspect, it can become little tricky to negotiate

the route to connect small transistors.

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 19

There are basically two ways of copper interconnection patterns under side the

board. The first is the removal of only the amount of copper necessary to isolate the

junctions of the components to oneanother. The second is to make the interconnection

pattern looking more like conventional point wiring by routing uniform width of copper

from component to component.

7.4.3 ETCHING PROCESS

Etching process requires the use of chemicals. acid resistant dishes and running

water supply. Ferric chloride is mostly used solution but other etching materials such as

ammonium per sulphate can be used. Nitric acid can be used but in general it is not used

due to poisonous fumes.

The pattern prepared is glued to the copper surface of the board using a latex type of

adhesive that can be cubed after use. The pattern is laid firmly on the copper using a very

sharp knife to cut round the pattern carefully to remove the paper corresponding to the

required copper pattern areas. Then apply the resistant solution, which can be a kind of ink

solution for the purpose of maintaining smooth clean outlines as far as possible. While the

board is drying, test all the components.

Before going to next stage, check the whole pattern and cross check with the circuit

diagram. Check for any free metal on the copper. The etching bath should be in a glass or

enamel disc. If using crystal of ferric- chloride these should be thoroughly dissolved in

water to the proportion suggested. There should be 0.5 lt. of water for 125 gm of crystal.

To prevent particles of copper hindering further etching, agitate the solutions carefully by

gently twisting or rocking the tray.

The board should not be left in the bath a moment longer than is needed to remove

just the right amount of copper. Inspite of there being a resistive coating there is no

protection against etching away through exposed copper edges. This leads to over etching.

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 20

Have running water ready so that etched board can be removed properly and rinsed. This

will halt etching immediately.

Drilling is one of those operations that calls for great care. For most purposes a

0.5mm drill is used. Drill all holes with this size first those that need to be larger can be

easily drilled again with the appropriate larger size.

7.4.4 COMPONENT ASSEMBLY

From the greatest variety of electronic components available, which runs into

thousands of different types it is often a perplexing task to know which is right for a given

job.

There could be damage such as hairline crack on PCB. If there are, then they can be

repaired by soldering a short link of bare copper wire over the affected part.

The most popular method of holding all the items is to bring the wires far apart after

they have been inserted in the appropriate holes. This will hold the component in position

ready for soldering.

Some components will be considerably larger .So it is best to start mounting the

smallest first and progressing through to the largest. Before starting, be certain that no

further drilling is likely to be necessary because access may be impossible later.

Next will probably be the resistor, small signal diodes or other similar size

components. Some capacitors are also very small but it would be best to fit these

afterwards. When fitting each group of components mark off each one on the circuit as it is

fitted so that if we have to leave the job we know where to recommence.

Although transistors and integrated circuits are small items there are good reasons

for leaving the soldering of these until the last step. The main point is that these components

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 21

are very sensitive to heat and if subjected to prolonged application of the soldering iron,

they could be internally damaged.

All the components before mounting are rubbed with sand paper so that oxide

layer is removed from the tips. Now they are mounted according to the component layout.

7.4.5 SOLDERING: -

This is the operation of joining the components with PCB after this operation the

circuit will be ready to use to avoid any damage or fault during this operation following care

must be taken.

1. A longer duration contact between soldering iron bit & components lead can exceed the

temperature rating of device & cause partial or total damage of the device. Hence before

soldering we must carefully read the maximum soldering temperature & soldering time for

device.

2. The wattage of soldering iron should be selected as minimum as permissible for that

soldering place.

3 .To protect the devices by leakage current of iron its bit should be earthed properly.

4. We should select the soldering wire with proper ratio of Pb & Tn to provide the suitable

melting temperature.

TIMER WTH AUDIBLE WARNING Page 22

5. Proper amount of good quality flux must be applied on the soldering point to avoid dry

soldering.
