Overview of Project

OVERVIEW OF PROJECT
Controlling devices using switches are common. From a few decades controlling

devices using remote control switches like infrared remote control switch, wireless
remote control switches, light activated switches re becoming popular. But
these technologies have their own limitations. Laser beams are harmful to mankind.
Some technologies like IR remote control are used for short distance applications. In
such case if we have system which does not require any radiations or which is not
harmful, long remote control switch!! Yes here is the solution.
The said project is designed on the
principal of DTMF decoding. Our modern telephone and even our mobile phone use
DTMF for number dialing. These DTMF codes can be decoded and utilized for
purposes. The circuit utilizes IC8870 for DTMF decoding.
Here we are introducing such a system which does not require any radiations,
any laser beam which has no limitation of range, I mean it can be used from any
distance from meters to thousand kilometers using a simple telephone line or
mobile phone. Here we are using a telephone as a media, which serves main part of
this system. By using home phone as a local phone and another phone - either landline
or mobile phone as a remote phone we are controlling devices.
This system uses Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) technology of our telephone set.
Every telephone set will have this facility. We have two type of dialing facilities in our
telephone system (I) Pulse dialing mode (ii) Tone dialing mode. Here this system works
on tone dialing mode. The DTMF mode is shortly called as tone dialing mode. (Check
for availability of tone dialing mode in your telephone set).
This system is divided into two sections 1: Remote Section 2: Local Control Section.
1: Remote Section:
It is nothing but remote telephone set which is present in the

remote place. This may be your workspace (office / school) phone or mobile phone or a
phone in PCO. Signals are sent through this telephone.
2: Local Control Section:
This is a control system through which you can control your
appliances. This contains one telephone line and a control unit. The appliances to be
controlled must be connected to telephone line through control unit .Control unit is kept
with a sufficient backup.
The device operation may be completed in following way:
Remote section
Matrix keypad
1. First of all dial the particular number through mobile or Telephone. This will be used
DTMF principle, for transmitting our request.
DTMF Encoder
2. The particular number is passed in DTMF encoder IC which will convert it into a
particular format.
The whole circuitry is combined in a
telephone box.
Local control section
Telephone line interfacing unit
3. Usually our project is connected through land line telephone so the signal will be
carried on guided transmission media like coaxial cable or copper wire.
Telephone Ring detector
4. For convenience there may be a ring detector which will detect ring and after certain
number of ring it will be connect to circuit.
DTMF BCD Decoder
5. Received signal is decoded by DTMF decoder IC, in the BCD format.
Switching IC
6. After decoding of signal by decoder, the signal will be send to switching IC which will
detect device number and connect to it through relay.

1. You can control up to 10 devices. It may be any electric or electronic appliances or devices
with simple to heavy appliances. Each device is given a unique code.
2. It makes accurate switching, any false switching of device are not done.
3. There is no risk for false switching.
4. Your local phone (i.e., home phone or office phone) can be used for normal use by using a
DPDT switch. So you need not use a separate telephone line for this device controlling.
5. To perform any operations through remote phone line, the user needs to dial to the local
telephone (to which the interfacing circuit is connected) then the respective code of the device is
dialed.
6. This circuit does not require any complex IC, so any one with little knowledge of electronics
can construct this circuit, because it does not need any programmable IC's or programming.
7. This system detects the ringing signal from your exchange with the help of ring detector and
automatically switches ON.
8. This device saves your money. This circuit switches OFF after a time of 60 seconds (you can
change this switch ON-Time which is discussed in detail in coming section).
9. Before changing the state of the device we can confirm the present status of the device.
10.This circuit gives an acknowledgement tone after switching ON the devices to confirm the
status of the device.
11 You can control devices from local telephone. It can also be controlled by PCO.
1. Any one can access it.
2. This device is active up to 15-60 sec.
3. Charges apply according to telephone vendors.
More positively this device has many types of modifications:
1. By providing coding it could be used for security purpose.

2. Remote accessing of PCs may be possible.
3. It could be used in missile launching.
4. Space engineering.
5. By use of feedback path we can detect all faults and relative processes on
local section through remote section.
