INTRODUCTION TO EARTHQUAKE
MONITERING SYSTEM
The project is based on microcontroller
earthquake monitoring system.
These techniques have revealed themselves a
suitable monitoring tool for disaster
management.

SENSOR
An instrument used in seismic exploration and
designed to pick up mechanical oscillations of
the ground and convert them into electrical
oscillations.

SENSOR
Inertial sensors are used for work on land
A common type is an electro-dynamic sensor
with natural frequencies of 0.540 Hz and with
aperiodic critical damping.

DRIVER
Relays are used as drivers to the circuit.
Relays are devices that can provide power
directly to external devices that have modest
power requirements.

MICRO CONTROLLER

What is the difference between a

Microprocessor and Micro controller?
By microprocessor is meant the general
purpose Microprocessors such as Intel's X86
family (8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, and the
Pentium) or Motorola's 680X0 family (68000,
68010, 68020, 68030, 68040, etc). These
microprocessors contain no RAM, no ROM,
and no I/O ports on the chip itself. For this
reason, they are commonly referred to as
general-purpose Microprocessors.

 A Micro controller has a CPU (a

microprocessor) in addition to a fixed amount of
RAM, ROM, I/O ports, and a timer all on a
single chip. In other words, the processor, the
RAM, ROM, I/O ports and the timer are all
embedded together on one chip; therefore, the
designer cannot add any external memory, I/O
ports, or timer to it. The fixed amount of on-chip
ROM, RAM, and number of I/O ports in Micro
controllers makes them ideal for many
applications in which cost and space are critical

MICRO CONTROLLER

Dc MOTOR
ADC motorrelies on the fact that like magnet
poles repel and unlike magnetic poles attract
each other.
A coil of wire with a current running through it
generates anelectromagneticfield aligned with
the center of the coil.
By switching the current on or off in a coil its
magnetic field can be switched on or off or by
switching the direction of the current in the coil
the direction of the generated magnetic field
can be switched 180.

ADVANTAGES
Provides early warning by detecting an
earthquake's sound wave before the
earthquake's destructive shear wave strikes
your area. Fully adjustable sensitivity
setting.
Automatically resets and shuts off alarm
when earthquake stops.
Operates off a 9-volt battery.
