The term DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multi Frequency is a signaling system for recognizing the DTMF
keys on a keypad. The applications of DTMF include telecommunication signaling over analogue
telephone lines in the voice frequency band among telephone handsets and communication devices. So,
when you make a call for customer care they will request you to push any number. When you push any
number on your mobile keypad, one specific action will occur because of DTMF. When a keypad button
is pressed in a mobile keypad, instantly it will produce a tone of two frequencies called column and row
frequencies. Here, the column frequencies are high frequencies and row frequencies are low
frequencies.
WORKING PRINCIPLE :
The project aims at controlling various loads spread over a large area remotely by using DTMF concept.
The DTMF command tone thus received from the phone causes electrical load switching. The project is
useful for managing industrial, domestic or agricultural loads that extend over a large area.
The project requires a DTMF decoder interfaced to audio output socket of the cell phone. Whenever a
button on the keypad is pressed the frequency thus generated from it is received by the decoder and it
converts the frequency into its equivalent digital code. A microcontroller of 8051 family is used which is
interfaced to relays through relay driver IC. The digital code is then provided to microcontroller that
identifies the phone commands and initiates the relays to actuate the respective loads by turning them
on and off.
Further, the proposed system can be improved by using a GSM modem , where the different loads can
be restricted by sending an SMS. This will reduce the require of answering the call for the system to
work.
DTMF DECODER :
This circuit detects the dial tone from a telephone line and decodes the keypad pressed on the remote
telephone. Two distinct frequency tones make up the DTMF (dual tone multi frequency), and hence the
name. The dialer and the telephone exchange communicate one way through the DTMF
communication. The tone generator and the tone decoder consist of a complete communication
setup.In this project, IC MT8870DE is used to decode the input dial tone to the dialed numbers. These
digital bits are interfaced to a microcontroller for any application. Pulse/dial tone method is used in the
modern telephone communication. There is a dial tone generator on the caller side and a unique tone
consisting of two audible tone frequencies is generated when the user presses a button. As an example,
697 Hz & 1209hz will be generated when key ‘1’ is being pressed on the phone. A decoder circuit is
present on the receiver side, which decodes the tone to a digital code.

2. The applications of DTMF (dual tone multi frequency) mainly include home, industries, agriculture,
etc.
3.These tones are used at the telephone switch centres for discovery of calls or dialled number and also
used by a particular cable network
4.This n/w’s uses DTMF tones to specify a local cable operator when a local add is to be put in. In
allocation, this is identified as local placing. These tones were also used by global stations for switching
ON & OFF remote transmitters
CONCLUSION :
The proposed system works on the basic concept of a DTMF tone signal received from any mobile to
operate remotely for controlling any loads like domestic loads, agricultural pump and industrial loads,
etc.
In many industries, the different loads occupy over a large area and therefore, operating of these loads
can be tiresome and also difficult task. In the field of agricultural also, water pumps and other loads are
connected over a huge area and thus it is not easy for the planter to activate all the loads and likewise
for household loads. Keeping these troubles in mind, this project has been designed that uses DTMF
technology to manage the loads remotely.
