The circuit receives its power from a 15-V wall adapter (not shown). The circuit takes advantage of the fact that the phone line voltage drops from 48 to 10 V when an extension is taken off the hook. When the voltage on a line drops, the optoisolator/coupler is turned off so that the inputs to the line-1 hexinverters (U2 pins 1. 3. and 5) float high. The corresponding outputs (U2 pins 2. 4. and 6) go low and light the line-1 LEDs. (View)

LM195H powertransistor is main power amplifier and at same time serves as 23-W heater that is used to make copper shield track actual temperature of surface to be measured. Uses National LX5700 sensors. Diode in series with ground leg of one sensor permits adjusting pin 3 of that sensor over range of 40-80 mV to make it track with servo thermometer.

When no key is pressed, voltage at point A (lower left) and any horizontal keyboard row is 0 V and voltage on any vertical keyboard column is 5 V. When key is pressed, voltage at A becomes 1 V and voltage at selected row and column becomes 3 V.
