EE 294 Master’s Project Spring 2006 D.A.S. Deaf Alert System By Robert Wangai Samer Ashkouri
Introduction Build & design a fire alarm alert system for a hearing-impaired person. Build & design a fire alarm alert system for a hearing-impaired person. This system will inform the user of a fire visually and physically. This system will inform the user of a fire visually and physically. As an added feature, a door bell system will be integrated with the fire alarm system to indicate to the user that someone is at the front door. As an added feature, a door bell system will be integrated with the fire alarm system to indicate to the user that someone is at the front door. This system will be monitored through a computer to keep an updated status in case of an emergency. This system will be monitored through a computer to keep an updated status in case of an emergency.

Door bell system The door bell system is an added feature to help improve the user’s life style. The door bell system is an added feature to help improve the user’s life style. It will transmit signals to the portable device, which can then inform the user when there is a person at the door. It will transmit signals to the portable device, which can then inform the user when there is a person at the door. The door bell system requires a 9-volt battery to operate. The door bell system requires a 9-volt battery to operate.
Door bell system circuit
Pager like portable device This pager like portable device will act as a receiver and will gather data from the smoke detector & the door bell. This pager like portable device will act as a receiver and will gather data from the smoke detector & the door bell. This portable device alerts the user both physically (by vibration) & visually. This portable device alerts the user both physically (by vibration) & visually. Visually, a red LED light will turn on incase of a fire. In case of the door bell being pressed, a green LED light will turn on. Visually, a red LED light will turn on incase of a fire. In case of the door bell being pressed, a green LED light will turn on. Ideally, this portable device will be worn on the belt or on the wrist of the user.
