Described timer to participate in the current circuit switch - bulb without any modification of existing pipelines.
Connect the timer is in Figure 1 The time switch has only two outlets, which is connected in parallel to the button (Fig. 1a) or switch (Fig. 1b). If you use the button works as a classical staircase circuit switch.
Connect a timer switch in parallel to the original, we will extend bulb shines as the time required to leave the room. Dimensions of the timer are so small that it can be installed into standard electrical box under the original power switch. The wiring does not need to change anything, there is no need nor any assistant conductor.
The timer is triggered by voltage drop. Switch closes when the interrupt for a moment the power supply which can happen even when a storm or manipulations in the substation. In places where the network is `soft` power matters and executive appliances such as vacuum cleaner.

Timer scheme is in Figure 2 Resolve power circuit was the hardest nut of the whole structure. The timer must be operated in both closed, and unfastened Triac. If no voltage is present, eg when the terminals A and B shorted out the button, the power is restored after running the timer circuit. If the triac is closed, current passes through the bulb (see Figure 1) to supply and triac and through the bridge rectifier diodes D1, D2, D5 and D6. In place of the D5 and D6 are used in Zener diodes with voltage 5.6 V Zener diode turns in stabilizing the momentary polarity. Voltage drop between terminals A and B is about 7 to 8 in which the brightness of bulbs virtually no impact. The idle circuit is the reactive power flow, passing through the resistor R1 and capacitor C1. The streamlining is now used diodes D3 to D6. The output voltage is stabilized Zenerovými diodes, as well as in the previous case. The filter capacitor C2 is intentionally very low capacity to respond timer for a short press.
Zener diodes limit the maximum switching capacity. Power Zener Diode 1N5339 meet the load 398 W. Then, however, each Zener diode loses power almost 5 watts, which is not in a small space dissipate electrical box. Therefore, I recommend not to use a larger ratio than the burden of about 100 W. For higher performance should be possible to replace the D5 and D6 conventional rectifier diodes and output voltage stabilization regulator connected...
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.....
