Build a multi-sector
burglar alarm, Pt.2
Last month, we described the features of this
versatile home burglar alarm & gave the
circuit details. In this article, we show you
how to build & operate it.
By MIKE ZENERE
Because it's built around a microprocessor and relies on software , the
circuit uses relatively few components
for such a versatile unit. In fact, by
making some slight software changes,
two more features have been added to
the unit since last month.
First, the user can now select
whether or not power is maintained
22

to the remote keypads during a mains
failure. Previously, the user had no
choice; if the mains failed, the remote
keypads could not be used and the
backup battery only supplied power
to the main keypad. You can now
elect to maintain power to the remote
keypads, although this will decrease
the battery back-up time.
Second, the user can now select
whether or not the unit beeps when
an entry is detected, prior to sounding the main alarm. If you're the sort
of person who always remembers to
turn an alarm off, the warning beeps
can be disabled. The choice is yours.
There's also been a slight change to
the main circuit (Fig.2) that was published last month. First, a larger relay
with higher-rated contacts has been
substituted for the original unit and
this has necessitated the addition of a
simple 1-transistor driver circuit- see
Fig.5.
Second, a LED (LED 1) and a lkQ
series resistor has been connected to
pin 28 of ICl. This LED is used to
confirm that the oscillator based on
IC2e is operating correctly before the
MCU (!Cl) is plugged in, but otherwise plays no part in the circuit operation.
The necessary changes have been
made to the relevant PC board.
Most of the assembly simply involves installing parts on the PC
boards; there is very little interboard
wiring involved: However, it is important to follow the procedure outlined below, as certain sections are
assembled and tested before moving
on to the next stage.
Processor board assembly
Construction begins with the processor board (Fig.6) and its numerous
individual circuits.
First, install all the links, PC pins
and terminal blocks. This done, install the following parts: BRl, Cl, C2,
C31, C32, Rl, R2, R3, R8 (mounted
10mm above the board), D17, ZD4,
D2, D3, D16, FCl, FC2, FC3, FC4,
FC5, FC6, FUSE 1, FUSE 2 & FUSE 3.
When all these parts are in, attach
REGl and REG2 to their heatsinks as
shown in Fig. 7 and then mount the
two regulators on the board (be careful not to transpose them).
You are now ready to test the power
supply circuit. To do this , connect the
16VAC plugpack supply to the board
with a l0Q 1W resistor in series with
one of its leads. This resistor will
limit the current if there is. a short on
the board. Apply power and check for
the following DC voltages:
(1). Positive terminal Cl = 20V
(approx).
(2). Output of REGl = 5V.
(3). Output of REG2 = 15V.
(4). Pin 7 ofTBl = 15V.
(5). Pins 3, 6 & 7 of ICl = 5V
(6). Pin 14 of IC2 = 5V.
(7). Pin 20 of IC3 = 5V.
(8). Pin 14 of IC4 = 5V.
If all of the above are OK, switch off
the power and install R3, R4 (mounted
10mm above the board), R5-R13 (but
not R8), R20-R22, R62-R65, C6, C7,
Ql-Q4, Qll, Q12, Dl, D4-D8, ZD3
and the battery leads. Now install temporary links between (1) the +5V output ofREGl and the anode ofD4; and
(2) the output of REGl and pin 19 of
ICl. This will enable you to check the
battery charge circuit. Apply power
and check for the following voltages:
(9). Positive lead of battery= 14V
(approx).
(10). Voltage across R4 = 0V.
(11). Collector ofQl = 19V (approx).
(12) . Cathode of ZD3 = 14V (approx) .
r-------.-+12V

PN200
Fig.5: the modified relay driver
circuit. The circuit is driven by
the PB5 output (pin 17) ofICl.
(13). Collector of Q4 = 0V.
(14). Pin 1 of TB3 = 15V (approx).
Now connect the leads to the battery with your multimeter in series
with one leg of the circuit and check
the charging current. It should be
somewhere between 0mA and 35mA.
If this checks out, remove the meter
from the circuit, reconnect the battery
and check that the following voltages
are correct:
(15). TBl pins 11 and 12 = 12V.
(16). Output terminal of REGl = 5V.
(17). Pin 7 ofTBl = 12V.
(18). Pin 1 TB3 = 12V.
Assuming these values are OK, remove the 5V temporarily applied to

D4 and pin 19 ICl and do the following checks:
(19). Collector ofQ3 = 12V (approx).
(20). Collector-emitter voltage of Q2
= 1V (approx).
(21). Voltage across R4 = llV
(approx).
(22). Pin 1 TB3 = 0V.
If all of the above are correct, switch
off, remove the temporary links, and
corn plete the board assembly. A socket
is used for ICl but before this is soldered in, make sure that D4 is in place,
as it sits under the socket.
Display board assembly
Fig.8 shows the assembly details
for the display board. Initially, all of
the parts can be soldered into place,
except for the display and the three
ICs. Note that the beeper (BEEPl) is
soldered to the copper side of the
board and that the LEDs should all be
mounted above the board so that they
will later protrude through the front
panel - see Fig.9.
Check that all LEDs are correctly
oriente::d; the anode lead is always the
longer of the two.
The keypad is mounted flush
against the board by removing its
mounting tabs and securing it with a
small amount of adhesive . Short
lengths of tinned copper wire are then
used to make the connections. This
done, locate the two 16-way IDC connectors and crimp both plugs on to
the ribbon cable as shown in Fig.10.
Make sure that pin 1 of the first
connector is terminated to pin 1 of the
second connector, as a wrong termination will cause disaster on the display board. The two IDC connectors
can now be soldered to the processor
and display boards.
Now power up and check for 5V at
the following points on the display
board: pin 8 ofJl ; pin 20 oflC1 & IC2;
and pins 3, 5, 9 & 18 of DISPl.
If all is OK, switch off and solder in
the ICs and the display, noting that
pin 1 of this device is as shown in
Fig.11. Be careful - there are no second chances with this chip.
Before plugging in the MCU, it's
advisable to take a few extra moments
to test the rest of the circuit. To do
this , first install lOkQ resistors between the 12V outputs ofTBl and the
siren and strobe light outputs. This
done, install a lOkQ "end-of-line" re-
sistor on each of the sector inputs (ie,
between each sector input and the
input ground).
Apply power and check the following on the processor board:
(1). LED 1 should be flashing on and
off at around 2Hz.
(2). Pin 2 of ICl should have a waveform on it of 50Hz at 2V p-p (check
using an oscilloscope), while pin 6 of
IC2 should be oscillating at a high
frequency.
(3). Pins 3, 4, 10 & 11 of IC4 should all
be at 5V.
Now short out all four of the lOkQ
end-of-line resistors in turn and check
that pins 3, 4, 10 & 11 of IC4 are all at
0V. If one of the outputs does not go to
0V, check the circuitry around the
relevant gate carefully. If everything
is OK, remove the shorts from the
resistors.
Installing the MCU
Switch off the plugpack and make
sure that the battery is disconnected.
You are now ready to plug in the
MCU (ICl) but make sure that it is
correctly oriented.
Apply power again and check that
the reset status LED (LED 1) now stays
on. If it does, this indicates that the
processor is correctly servicing its interrupt routine once every 20ms. At
the same time , the alphanumeric display on the display board should flash
the message "UNIT OK", while all the
LEDs on this board should be off.
If the reset status LED continues to

and solder one lead of each LED only.
This done, remove the cardboard and
align the LEDs before soldering the
remaining leads.
The second line of LEDs can now
be installed in the same manner.
Once the LEDs are in, the remaining parts can be installed on the board.
Bend the leads of the regulator (REG1)
so that it lies flat against the PC board
(see photo). A 28 -pin socket is used
for the MCU (IC1) but don't insert the
IC just yet. Note that because parts
must be mounted under the IC, the
socket will have to be cut into two
single rows - see Fig.12.
The wiring can now be completed
by running seven 8cm-long leads between the board and the keypad. The
eighth terminal on the keypad (adjacent to the "3" button) is not used.
Remote keypad testing
Take great care with the orientation of the alphanumeric display (DISPl) when
installing this part on the PC board (see Fig.11). The keyboard is secured to the
PC board by its connecting links & a small amount of adhesive.
12mm countersunk screws and nuts.
This job will be easi er if you install
the middle standoff and mounting
screw assembly first.
The four 10mm tapped standoffs
are used to mount the processor board
on the rear panel and are secured to
the case using four M3 x 6mm countersunk screws. This done, use four
M3 x 6mm panhead screws to secure
the board to the spacers, then install
the 6.5mm rubber grommet in the
power entry hole. Run the plugpack
cable through this grommet, clamp
the cable so that it cannot be pulled
out, and solder the wires to the PC
pins. Finally, attach the battery leads
to the battery and close the lid.
Keypad construction
Fig.12 shows the assembly details
26
SILICON CHIP
for the remote keypads. Start the assembly by installing the parts that go
under the MCU. These include the
crystal (XTALl), resistors R7, RB & R9,
and capacitors C3 & C5.
When this has been done, the seven
LEDs can be installed. These are in
two rows. The top row consists of
three LEDs and these are, from left to
right: green, orange and red. The bottom row, from left to right, consists of
three orange LEDs and one red LED.
The LEDs must all be mounted exactly 15mm above the board (ie, so
that their tops are about 20mm above
the board). To do this, cut a 15mm
wide cardboard strip about 40mm long
and thin enough to fit between the
legs of the LEDs. Position this strip of
cardboard edge-on along one line of
LEDs, then install the LEDs over it
At this stage, it is a good idea to do
a preliminary test of the board. This is
done by applying 10-15V to the terminal block and checking for the following voltages :
(1). Pins 3, 6 & 7 of IC1 = 5V.
(2). Pins 1 & 2 of IC1 = 0V.
(3). Pins 20, 21 & 22 of IC1 = 5V.
If these checks are OK, disconnect
the power and install IC1. Now reapply power and check that the green
LED lights (all other LEDs off). Testing of the keypad is now complete
and the unit may be installed in its
plastic case.
The plastic case is supplied partially drilled; all you have to do is
make the hole for the keypad. This is
quite straightforward since the shape
of the hole· is scribed into the plastic
on the inside of the lid. To make the
hole, drill a series of small holes
around the inside perimeter of the
marked area, then knock out the centre piece and file for a smooth finish.
The four 10mm tapped spacers can
now be secured to the bottom of the
case using M3 x 6mm countersunk
screws - see Fig.13 . This done, attach
the keypad (via its tabs) to the inside
of the case using superglue (top towards the three LEDs) . Finally, secure
the PC board to the spacers using four
roundhead M3 x 6mm screws and
clip the two halves of the case together.
Setup & operation
As well as turning the unit on or
off, the front panel keypad is used to

variables, and to perform the various
test functions. There are two main
buttons used to call up the different
options and these are the function
button (*) and the return button (#).
The 0-9 buttons are used in conjunction with the(*) button to select the
variable to be viewed.
At the very first power up , the on/
off code is set to 6805. This code will
also allow you to modify the preset
variables. These variables and their
initial settings (in brackets) are listed
in Table 1.
Note that the variables are locked
in and cannot be changed unless the
user knows the current on/off code.
This was done for obvious security
reasons. The five locked codes are the
entry delay, exit delay, siren duration ,
on/off code and the soft switches.
Let's assume that the unit has never
been powered up. In this case, all the
sectors will all be off; the entry delay,
exit delay and siren duration times
will be set to 30 seconds, 3 minutes
and 3 minutes respectively; the on/
off code will be 6805; and the soft
switches will be set to 019X (ie, the
keypads will be disabled during mains
failure; the unit will beep on entry;
and the alarm can sound up to 9 times
in one 12-hour period).
The user now can decide which
options, if any, are to be changed.

light and, assuming that the default
exit delay setting is unchanged, you
now have three minutes to leave the
house.
To re-enter the house, you simply
enter (5) (7) (3) (9) to turn the alarm
off again before the entry delay period
expires. The ON LED should now turn
off but note that the sector LEDs remain lit unless you toggle the sectors
off again. In most cases, you'll leave
the sectors on, so that you don't have
to activate them again the next time
you leave the house.

The location of the main alarm box
will depend on whether or not remote
keypads are used. If the remote
keypads are not used, then the box
must be accessible to the user, so that
the alarm can be turned on and off.
Even so, it should be mounted in a
concealed area, such as a linen press
or kitchen cupboard.
The remote keypads should be
mounted inside the premises, as they
are not weatherproof.
Fig.14 shows how external devices
are connected to the processor board.
Don't forget the end-of-loop resistors
for the sector inputs (see Fig.1 in last
month's issue).
Fig.15 shows how up to two remote
keypads can be connected to the system. In particular, note how TX on
the remote keypads is connected to
RX on the processor board and vice
versa. Be very careful here - it's all
too easy to get these connections
mixed up .

that the alarm still functions if the
first is disabled by a determined thief.
Generally, a horn speaker is mounted
under the eaves inside a metal cover
and this serves as the main siren. The
second siren can be a piezo type and
should be mounted out of sight in the
roof cavity.
Deciphering the beeps
Finally, a word on deciphering the
various beep signals from the unit.
There are four different patterns: (1)
the unit beeps once each time a key is
pressed; (2) the main unit and remote
keypads beep four times every second during the entry delay; (3) the
main panel beeps three times if you
try to enter an illegal setting; and (4) if
there is a fault in the system, the main
unit and remote keypads beep twice
every 15 seconds.

Passive infrared sensors
A large range of passive infrared
detectors (PIRDs) is available on the
market and these can be purchased
from about $50.00 upwards . However,
some of the cheaper units are prone to
false triggering, so it's worth paying a
few dollars more for good quality sensors.
The PIRDs listed in the panel are
both very reliable units. When installing them, make sure that they do not
face towards windows to avoid false
triggering. They should also be positioned so that are not in a direct line
with sunlight.
It's also a good idea to have a second siren connected to the system, so

are run using 4-way cable. In particular, note how TX on the keypad boards
connects to RX on the processor board & vice versa. The LED functions are
indicated on the remote keypad at left.
