Description

The Fire Alarm Working Model – Unassembled Kit offers an engaging, hands-on experience to understand the fundamentals of fire detection systems. Ideal for students, hobbyists, and educators, this kit allows you to construct a functional fire alarm circuit that responds to infrared (IR) signals, simulating the detection of fire or heat sources. Through this assembly, you’ll gain practical insights into sensor technology, electronic circuitry, and alarm mechanisms.

Features

• Interactive Assembly Experience:
  Assemble a complete fire alarm system from scratch, following a clear, step-by-step guide printed on a durable cardboard base. This process enhances learning and provides practical experience in electronics.
• Infrared-Based Detection:
  The kit utilizes an IR sensor to detect specific IR signatures associated with heat sources. When the sensor identifies such a signature, it triggers the alarm system, demonstrating a fundamental method of fire detection.
• Auditory and Visual Alerts:
  Upon detection, the system activates a buzzer and an LED, providing both sound and light alerts. This dual notification system effectively simulates real-world fire alarm responses.
• Comprehensive Learning Tool:
  This kit serves as an excellent educational resource, illustrating how various electronic components—such as resistors, transistors, and sensors—work together to create a responsive safety system.
