Light Fence Security Beeper
This light fence security beeper circuit is designed to detect interruptions in a light beam, triggering an alarm when the beam is broken. The main components of the circuit include a 12 Volt DC power supply, a photo transistor (T1), a green LED (D1), and an audible alarm or beeper.
In the idle state, the green LED (D1) emits light, which is directed towards the photo transistor (T1). The photo transistor is designed to conduct when it receives light, allowing current to flow through the circuit and keeping the alarm in a non-triggered state. The circuit is configured such that when an object or person interrupts the light beam, the light reaching T1 is reduced, causing the photo transistor to stop conducting. This change in state can be detected by the circuit, which activates the alarm.
The circuit can be adjusted for sensitivity by modifying the resistor values in the circuit. For instance, changing the resistor connected to the photo transistor can increase or decrease the amount of ambient light required to trigger the alarm. Additionally, the circuit can be enhanced by adding a delay timer to prevent false alarms caused by small animals or moving objects that briefly interrupt the light beam.
For installation, the LED should be positioned to project light across the area to be monitored, while the photo transistor should be placed at the opposite end to receive the light. This configuration creates a light barrier that, when breached, activates the alarm mechanism.
Overall, this simple light fence security beeper circuit provides an effective and low-cost solution for various security applications, ensuring that any unauthorized access is promptly detected and signaled.General purpose hobby circuit of a simple light fence security beeper is presented here.
