False alarms produced by semiconductor failure are impossible with this burglar-alarm circuit equipped with relays. What`s more, the circuit is virtually immune to false triggering. With a standby current of less than 0.1 mA, the circuit offers all the features an alarm needs: entry and exit delays, a timed alarm period, and automatic reset after an intrusion. One CMOS CD4093B quad NAND gate, IC1, supplies both logic and analog timing functions with the aid of Schmitt-trigger switching action. Relays make the circuit fail-safe in the alarm-active mode, even when the semiconductors fail. The relays are 12-V, with coil resistances of 250 0 or more. Closing switch S1 initiates circuit operation.

Capacitor C2 begins charging through resistor R2 and arming indicator LEDllights. When pin 2 of IC1a reaches its switching point, its output decreases, extinguishing LEDl and indicating that the exit delay has ended. That output also drives the base of Qllow, so that if the emitter circuit completes to the V00 line, Ql conducts. The circuit is now armed, and current drain drops to less than 0.1 mA. When the vehicle is entered, relay RY1 contacts close momentarily, completing the emitter circuit of Ql and causing the RY2 contacts to close. Charging C4 through R7 determines the entry-ilelay period. U the system isn"t turned off by opening Sl during this period, the oscillator circuit of IC1c and IC1d activates, and a rapid on/off hom-honking cycle kicks on with the aid of Q2 and RY3. The alarm cycle ends after about a minute, when C2 charges through R3 to the threshold voltage of IC1a at pin 1. This voltage resets the timing circuit, readying it for another entry/alarm cycle. RYl is connected for vehicles that use door switches connected to + 12 V. For vehicles that use groundiog door switches, the bottom of the RYl coil should connect to + 12 V instead of ground. In the latter case, the polarity of C7 should be reversed. For home use, the R3C3 time constant should be increased to give a longer alarm.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
