INTRODUCTION

Working
The 38kHz infrared (IR) rays generated by the remote control are received by IR
receiver module TSOP1738 of the circuit. Pin 1 of TSOP1738 is connected to
ground, pin 2 is connected to the power supply through resistor R5 and the output is
taken from pin 3. The output signal is amplified by transistor T1 (BC558). The
amplified signal is fed to clock pin 14 of decade counter IC CD4017 (IC1). Pin 8 of
IC1 is grounded, pin 16 is connected to Vcc and pin 3 is connected to LED1 (red),
which glows to indicate that the appliance is ‘off.’ The output of IC1 is taken from its
pin 2. LED2 (green) connected to pin 2 is used to indicate the ‘on’ state of the
appliance. Transistor T2 (BC548) connected to pin 2 of IC1 drives relay RL1. Diode
1N4007 (D1) acts as a freewheeling diode. The appliance to be controlled is
connected between the pole of the relay and neutral terminal of mains. It gets
connected to live terminal of AC mains via normally opened (N/O) contact when the
relay energizes

Block diagram of an IR remote Control Switch

The block diagram of an IR remote switch consists of two sections: a transmitter

section and the other receiver section. The transmitter section work as a normal
remote and the receiver section remains in a stable position, which means, it is
connected to any load. The main function of this remote control switch is to control any
load like TV, Fan, Radio, light, etc.

In this circuit, there is only one switch to operate the transmitter. By using this switch,
one can switch on or off the TV, radio, and home appliances. By adding an extra
circuitry to the actual remote, the control circuit can even be used to control the volume
of radio, TV and many more appliances.
In the transmitter section, there is a NE555 timer and infrared LEDs. TheNE555 timer
is configured in a stable mode, and in infrared LEDs, the IR rays are directed by the
source of power, which is from 9V battery and concave lens. In the transmitter section,
a switch plays a key role; when the switch is closed, the power from the battery turns

Applications of the IR Remote Control Switch

 Infrared remote control switches are used to control multiple things like, thyristor power control,
TVs, video games, Space related equipments (NASA), etc.
 IR Remote Control Switch can also be used to switch on or off the electronic appliances like
washing machines, radio, TVs, etc.
 By using the comparative relays we can switch ON or OFF the motor appliances also.
