Description: This circuit controls a tape recorder through PL2. When the phone is on-hook, D5 conducts, activating Q1 and disabling Q2. Additionally, ringing voltage will also trigger D5 to conduct; C2 and C1 should be rated for 150 V or higher. When the phone is off-hook, the approximately 10 V present on the line does not cause D5 to break down, keeping Q1 off and allowing Q2 to be biased on. PL2 connects to the remote control jack of the tape recorder, while audio is sourced from PL1. Caution: It is advisable to use either a battery-operated tape recorder or a tape recorder powered by an FCC/CSA/UL-approved AC adapter to prevent the risk of inadvertently applying 120 Vac to the telephone line.
This circuit serves as a remote control interface for tape recorders, utilizing a switching mechanism that responds to the state of a telephone line. The diode D5 plays a critical role in the circuit's operation by allowing current to flow when the phone is on-hook, which in turn activates transistor Q1. This activation effectively disables transistor Q2, ensuring that the tape recorder remains in standby mode until the phone is taken off-hook.
The inclusion of capacitors C1 and C2, rated at 150 V or higher, is essential for handling potential ringing voltage that may occur on the telephone line. This design choice ensures that the circuit can withstand voltage spikes without damaging sensitive components. When the phone is off-hook, the voltage present on the line is not sufficient to break down D5, allowing Q1 to remain off and ensuring that Q2 is biased on, which is necessary for the operation of the tape recorder.
PL2 serves as the connection point for the remote control jack of the tape recorder, facilitating audio input from PL1. The design emphasizes safety by recommending the use of battery-operated tape recorders or those powered by approved AC adapters. This precaution is crucial to prevent any accidental exposure of the telephone line to 120 Vac, which could pose safety hazards and damage the circuit. Overall, this circuit provides a reliable method for controlling tape recorders in conjunction with telephone line activity, ensuring both functionality and safety. This circuit switches a tape recorder via PL2. When on-hook, D5 conducts, turns on Ql, and cuts off Q 2. Ringing voltage will also cause D5 to conduct; C2 and CI should be rated 150 V or higher. When phone is off-hook, the 10 V or so present on the line will not break down D5, and therefore Ql is off and Q2 is biased on. PL2 connects to the remote control jack on the tape recorder. Audio is taken from PL1. Caution: Use either a battery tape recorder or an FCC/CSA/UL-approved ac adapter-powered tape recorder.
This precaution is to avoid inadvertent 120 Vac on the telephone line.
