TIMER CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVE:

The automatic bathroom light off

timer is built around IC 555 timer
which will turn off the light after a
preset time of 1 minute when there is
no one in the bathroom.

ABSTRACT:

The automatic bathroom light off

timer is built around IC 555 timer
which will turn off the light after a
preset time.
The main advantages of this circuit are
when there is no one in the bathroom
it will automatically switch off the
light after preset time, thus saving
electricity. Once timer switches off it
Operating temperature will not reset automatically until we
supply power. Consume no current in
standby mode therefore longer battery
life. Provide facility to set time
according to the requirement. It can be
easily mounted.

DESIGN FORMULA:
In this circuit 555 timer is wired as one shot timer whose timer period can be easily calculated
by the formula,

T=1.1*R1*C1
=1.1*1000*1000*1000µf
=1.1

where T is in seconds, R is in ohms and C is in farads.

DESIGN ISSUES:
• Maximum supply voltage should not exceed 15V
• Humidity should not exceed 85% relative humidity.
• Timing tolerance should not exceed +10 sec for 1 min.

APPROACH/METHODOLOGY:

When anybody wants to use the bathroom, he will press the switch momentarily. As soon as
switch is pressed, relay connected to pin 3 of IC1 gets energized and switches "on" the light
connected to the relay. After the preset time, the output of timer will go low and de energizes
the relay, thus switching "off" the load connected to the relay. In this circuit you can adjust
the time with the help of VR1 and calculate the time period from the above formula.
One must take care of specification of relay before mounting like how much load current it
will support. It is always suggested to keep the relay coil current within 200mA. If you want
to exceed the coil current one must use driver transistor to drive the relay

CONCLUSIONS:
Thus the Bathroom Light Timer Circuit is constructed and the LED turns OFF automatically
after the Preset Time thereby saving electricity

APPENDIX:

IC 555 :

●
IC 555 is a very commonly used IC for generating accurate timing pulses. It is an 8pin timer
IC and has mainly two modes of operation: monostable and astable. In monostable mode
time delay of the pulses can be precisely controlled by an external resistor and a capacitor.

RELAY ( 5 PIN ) :

Relay is an electromagnetic device which is used to isolate two circuits electrically and
connect them magnetically.

LED :

LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes. They are super compact and do not emit heat ; most
commonly used in emergency lightings, automotive tail lights.

 DIODE ( 1N 4001 ) :

1N4001 is a member of 1N400x diodes. Diode is a rectifying device which conducts only
from anode to cathode. Diode behaves open circuited for the current flow from cathode to
anode. 1N4001 is a 1A diode with low forward voltage drop and high surge current
capability.

CAPACITOR ( 1000 UF ) :

●
Capacitor is a passive component used to store charge. The charge (q) stored in a capacitor
is the product of its capacitance (C) value and the voltage (V) applied to it. Capacitors offer
infinite reactance to zero frequency so they are used for blocking DC components or
bypassing the AC signals.

POTENTIOMETER :

Potentiometer (Pot) is another class of variable resistors and is used as an adjustable voltage
divider. It consists of a fixed resistance track having connections at both ends and a sliding
contact, called wiper, which moves along this track by turning the spindle.
