Pyroelectric Fire Sensor -Circuit-Diagram. Here is an ultra-sensitive fire sensor that exploits the direct piezoelectric property of an ordinary piezo element to detect fire. The lead zirconate titanate crystals in the piezo element has a property to de-form and generate an electric potential plifier with gate protected p-channel. MOSFETs in the inputs. It has high speed of performance and low input current requirements. There are two inputs—the non inverting input (pin 3) connected to the piezo element through diode D7 (OA71) that carries the volt-age signal from the piezo element and the inverting input (pin 2) that gets a momentarily changes the voltage level at pin 3 of IC1 and its output swings high. Transistor T1 conducts taking the reset pin 12 of IC2 to ground. IC2 is now enabled and start oscillating. With the shown values of the oscillating components C3 (0.22) and R8 (1M), when heated, thus converti...
