INTRODUCTION
The Mat switch is a perfect low cost solution for monitoring large areas of floor space The Mat Switch is often used for security applications, but it is also used in projects such as interactive arts, animal behavior tracking, and more. The mat can be placed underneath carpeting. The circuit uses different components such as IC555 timer, resistors, capacitors, 9v battery along with piezo buzzer which produces a beep sound when a person crosses over it Its working is very simple and easy to construct.

Description of Components
O The circuit uses different components such as IC555 timer,
resistors, capacitors, 9v battery along with piezo buzzer which produces a beep sound when a person crosses over it.
O Resistor: In this the resistor R2 is used to prevent from false

which are common emitter configured one is for input and other for the output.

ICNE555: In Mat Switch we use ICNE555 in Monostable mode pin 2 recieves the trigger input signal and the pin3 sends the out put signal.
Monostable mode: In this mode, the 555 functions as a "one-shot" pulse generator. Applications include timers, missing pulse detection, bounce free switches, and touch switches, frequency divider, capacitance measurement, pulse-width modulation (PWM) and so on.
Piezo Buzzer: The Piezo Buzzer produces a Beep sound When ever
a person crosses over it, it produces sound for 4.7 seconds(Time constant T=1.1RC).
A Mat Switch works by putting a voltage potential across the two pads and deforming a separate layer enough to let the one contact to touch the other and thus complete a circuit. Assembly is very simple, make the circuit on the PCB by carefully soldering . Avoid loose connections. Now take the two conducting pads(touch pads) and connect to circuit as indicated in circuit Then connect a 9V Battery and a Piezo Buzzer to the Circuit Check the continuity with the help of multimeter.

and C3.
The pulse is applied to Buzzer through Transistor T2. The Buzzer
R4 and C3.
Resistor R2 in the circuit makes the trigger pin of IC1 high to prevent false
triggering.
Assemble the circuit on a PCB and enclose in plastic case. Use a 9V Battery to power the circuit. Connect the touchpad switch to PCB and hide under the Mat at entrance.
TESTING:
When you have built the circuit you will need to test it. If the circuit does not work at all follow the following procedure Check that the PCB layout is correct and that no tracks are broken Check that all soldered joints are good Check that all the components are connected correctly.
ADVANTAGES
Mat Switch is a very cheap and very efficient protective device. Mat Switch is very simple in construction. Mat switch is more reliable. Mat switch can be easily replaced. The Mat Switch is practically invisible unless it is engaged. The mat itself is light weight and often decorative , similar to a welcome
mat that rest out side the front door of your building.
If it is not properly sited it may give false alarms because of pets, children etc., in night during armed hours Furniture movement may give false alarms so it must be prevented when occurred. It may not be useful if it is not properly used.
APPLICATIONS
It is a perfect low cost solution for monitoring large areas of floor
space.
The mat is most often used in security applications It is also used for projects such as interactive arts, stage triggers for
As it is a security device, it can be used in different sectors. It can be used in important places such as Banks, Offices, Meseums, even at houses for protecting valuable equipment. The mat switch is a perfect low cost device used for security purpose.
As the security system is a very simple system it can be used any where. As the burglars are using latest techniques, The mat switch plays a crucial role in upcoming days.
