Integrated Fire Monitoring System in Governor Ferrer Memorial National High School – Main

Abstract

Nowadays, cases of fire accidents are abruptly increasing in different places due to rapid oxidation that produces a chain reaction. Some of its causes are laboratory experiments, electric malfunction, and incorrect use of hazardous chemicals. Using the prototype, the hypothesis was tested if the Arduino-based monitoring system is efficient, fast, and reliable in input readings. Programmed components are controlled through Arduino Uno board which was prepared including the flame sensor, a Sim800Lmodule for SMS transmittal, LCD 2x16 as a display screen, and buzzer for the auditory impact in alerting the people within the vicinity. Schematic diagram was assembled using Fritzing Software based on the given wiring setup. Codes were then compiled and uploaded from Arduino IDE and Arduino Uno which controlled the components. In testing the LCD and SMS from Sim800L, the fire was neared from the flame sensor. Through the use of systematic data collection approach which is the testing method, the researchers assessed the possible time variation through differentials in phone signals and the viability of the integrated fire monitoring system. Data were analysed using a Five-Point Likert Scales showing an Overall Mean of 4.60 interpreted as “Highly Acceptable” and computed a t-test value of12.823.This study showed the efficiency of the fire monitoring system on input readings from the flame sensor and temperature level calculation in fast and reliable SMS transmission. Thus, utilisation of Arduino Uno could alleviate the destructive effects of fire hazards especially on the school premises and the community near the area.
