A very simple circuit, that will find application in the case where you have a lot of telephones installed on a telephone line and would want to know if somebody of them is open. Thus you will not be off any discussion. Simultaneously it can cut the certain sound from stereo amplifier that are in high volume, the sound of some television or turn on some light the night when it ring the telephone and needs him you raise. Exists a pair of free contacts of RL1 that connects to the J2, which you can use connecting there any appliance you want. The telephone line connected in the J1, with what polarity you wants. When the telephone is closed then the line voltage is roughly, 48-50Vdc.

This voltage turn on the photodiode and this, the transistor of IC1, which it simultaneously isolates, the circuit from the telephone line. The phototransistor in IC1 are now in situation ON, the input of IC2A are LOW [L] and output HIGH [H]. Ignoring for little the circuit of delay D6, R4, R5, C1, the IC2B input, are also this HIGH hence the output are LOW, transistor Q1 are OFF and the RL1 are deactivate. When the telephone earphone is raised, then the telephone voltage line fall in 6-10Vdc. All the previous situation is reversed also the RL1, turn on. The telephones that use for dial choice, disk or pulse system, can they open and close the RL1 at the duration of choice. With delay network, that exist between in gates IC2A and in the IC2B, we delay the situation changes in the input of IC2B, ensuring thus stability in the operation of RL1. If the R4=100K then the RL1 is activated when the telephone ring or when the earphone is raised. On the contrary if the R4=1M, then the RL1 is activated only when the earphone is raised. The circuit supply becomes with a simple regulation circuit, in + 12V.

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....
