Simple Bedwetting/Wet Diaper Alert Circuit

Last updated on 25 June 2025 by Admin-Lavi Leave a Comment

Simple Bedwetting/Wet Diaper Alert Circuit is one special electronic helper!

It know when someone pee in bed or diaper and then it make sound like doorbell ding ding!

So parents or helper can know fast and come for help.

Good for kids who pee in bed at night or people who need more help for toilet.

Circuit Working:

Bedwetting is normal problem in kids but if not fix it can hurt Childs health.

Sometimes parents do not know at night so child sleep on wet bed or with wet clothes.

This bedwetting or wet nappy alarm can help it makes loud sound when child start to pee.

This alarm work good and it do not have bad side like medicine.

This small circuit uses special sensor to feel wet and it beep loud when bed get wet this sensor connects on bed sheet near the child.

Alarm wakes up both child and parents and then they can take child to toilet and change clothes before sleep again.

This simple alarm also is good for people who can not move easily like patients in hospital or people who pee at night without knowing.

Formulas:

Know About IC 4060 for Wet Diaper / Bedwetting Alarm

IC 4060 is 14 step counter chip and it counts in binary.

People use it a lot in timer things because it can make many different speeds and times.

How to Find Frequency in IC 4060:

In is an easy setup and we use this math formula:

f = 1 / (2N × R × C)

where:

  • f is the output speed frequency in hertz.
  • N is step number from 1 to 14.
  • R is resistor connected to chip pin.
  • C is capacitor connected to pin 12.

Note:

The alarm speed which is frequency is changed based on how often we want to check and what sensor we are using and how long battery will last.

How to Build:

To build a Simple Bedwetting/Wet Diaper Alert Circuit follow the below mentioned steps:

Make the Moisture Sensor Ready:

  • Put two sensor pads close together on PCB.
  • Be sure they not touching when dry.

Connect the Transistor:

  • Take one NPN transistor BC547 and put on breadboard.
  • Connect collector pin to battery + positive side through buzzer.
  • Connect emitter pin to battery – negative side.
  • Base pin connect with 1k resistor.

Give Power:

  • Battery + connects to collector pin with buzzer in between.
  • Battery – connects to emitter pin.

Testing the Circuit:

  • Try with water and wet the sensor pads.
  • If wet is found buzzer should make sound like beep beep!

Cover It:

  • If it work good put circuit inside small box or case.
  • This protect it and make it easy to use.

Important:

  • This is basic circuit we can change or improve it later.
  • Be sure it is safe to use and especially for kids or people who need extra care.

Conclusion:

Simple Bedwetting/Wet Diaper Alert Circuit is one easy and helpful circuit which helps when kids pee in bed or when someone cannot control their pee.

When the sensor feel wet it make alarm sound and this tell parents or caretaker fast so they can help and keep person dry and comfortable.

We only need some basic parts and simple wiring.

Anyone can make it and also change it little for different needs.
