There are a lot of alarm systems on the market but you might be inclined to build your own. This little project can be put together using inexpensive parts readily available. The alarm transmitter module allows for a delayed trigger and auto turn-off as it is designed assuming that once the remote alarm has been triggered it will remain on until i

t is turned off manually. Looking at the circuit switch S1 can be a open contact switch, a magnetic switch or other normally open switch of your own choosing for the application you have in mind. As soon as S1 is closed there is a time delay determined by R1-C1. This provides an allowable reset time for exit and re-entry to deactivate the alarm with the " Reset button " before it is triggered by the CD4001 gates (C-D). If there is no reset the gates (C-D) trigger Q1 and the tone generator (A-B) set -up as an oscillator ( the frequency of which is determined by R3/C3 ). Q1 turns on the Opto-isolator (TIL112) which powers the Transmitter module via a 9V battery. It will remain on for the duration of the oscillation being transmitted. After a delay determined by R2-C2 charging up to the positive DC rail gates (C-D) trigger will shut off the oscillator (A-B) and Q1 which in turn will turn off the supply to the transmitter via the opto-isolator reverting to the monitor mode where only a fraction of a miliamp is used from the battery in that mode. You may decide to build several small alarm units after your success with the first one. One way of identifying each of these transmitters is assigning a different tone for each unit by changing the frequency. To do this R3 at points (A) as shown on the oscillator portion of the CD4001 (A-B) must be changed. While using a fixed capacitor C3 at point B an encoder could be substituted at...
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.....
