LAMP_DIMMER

Published:2009/7/20 5:50:00 Author:Jessie

Silicon symmetrical switches Q1 and Q2 control phase angle at which current flows fhrough 600-w fluorescent or incandescent lamp load. Q1 handles load current while Q2 serves as symmetrical relaxation oscillator, with setting of R1 determining point in each half-cycle at which Q2 fires. Since system is symmetrical, it cannot be damaged by transients or line surges.-S. B. Gray, Home and Auto Controls, Electronics, 36:19, p 52-56.   (View)

SINGLE_IC_ALARM

Published:2009/7/9 4:36:00 Author:May

With a single IC, you can build a simple, reliable auto burglar alarm or a similar alarm. See (a) for the timing information for the alarm circuit in (b). When you leave your vehicle, flip the arming switch and close the door,behind you to arm the device.Subsequent opening of an entrance triggers both timers. After the expiration of the entry delay timer, the alarm sounds for a time that is determined by the second timer. The value of R should be less than 1 kΩ. If you use an incandescent lamp instead of a resistor, you get an extra function-an open-entrance indicator. By keeping the resistance low, you avoid false tripping should water collect under the hood. If your door switch connects the courtesy light to 12 V rather than to ground, use a single transistor as an inverter at the input. Although this circuit's simplicity has its drawbacks, you can add more features, such as no-entry delays for the hood and trunk, and retripping when doors remain open.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_TURN_OFF_ALARM_WITH_DELAY

Published:2009/7/9 4:34:00 Author:May

In this circuit, IC1A and IC1B act as a monostable multivibrator. Any input from the sensors S1 through S5 forces IC1A to produce logic low, which causes IC1B to turn on Q1 until C3 changes through R6. This action resets the latch formed by IC1A and IC1B.   (View)

This circuit uses a timer to generate at a 5-ms clock rate.The pulses are shifted into the shift register,one at a time,lighting an LED.An auxiliary timer that generates one pulse per second is used to generate timing to activate the go LED and stare the 5ms pulses clocking into the registers.At the GO signal each player presses his buttons (S3 or S4).The delay (reaction time) is read out on LED4 to LED17;after six seconds,the sequence repeats.   (View)

AUTO_ALARM

Published:2009/7/9 4:29:00 Author:May

S1 is external key switch. The alarm allows a 0-to 45-s delay after S1 is operated before the circuit is armed. During this period, LED1 lights green. After this delay, LED1 lights red, which indicates that the circuit is armed. Then, sensors S2 through S4 -(NO) or S5 through S6 (NO) pull pin 2 of U2 low, which activates K1 and sounds the alarm. The alarm sounds for a duration determined by R4 and C2. After this time, K1 releases and the circuit is again ready. Manual reset is via the key switch, S1.   (View)

Used to determine succession of phases of three phase 120-V a-c source used in synchro work. Terminals A, B, and C are connected to terminals of source to be checked. If neon lamp comes on, interchange any two leads; light then goes out, and A, B, and C then indicate correct sequence. Also serves as phase failure monitor, because neon lamp will come on if power on any one line is lost.-G. Richwell, Phase Indicator, EEE, 12:11, p 70.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_ARMING_AUTO_ALARM

Published:2009/7/9 4:20:00 Author:May

The circuit automatically turns on when the car is turned off. It gives you a variable time to get out and lock up, and also provides a variable time delay to get in and start the car. The 555 oscillator/timers are always powered down when the car is on. That keeps the alarm from going off while you're driving. As soon as the car is turned off, Q2 switches off and shunts power to U1. When that happens, U1 immediately sends its output high, keeping Q3 on, and thereby prevents power from returning to U2. Transistor Q2 also sends power to Q3's collector to be used only when U1 has completed its timing cycle. When U1 has finished, it turns Q3 off, which in turn activates Q4, and sends power to the balance of the circuit. That timing period was the time needed to get out of the car. LED1 indicates that the system is disarmed and LED2 indicates that the system is armed. At this point, U2 whits for a trigger pulse from the car's door switches or dome light. A positive impulse at the 4011's input sends a negative trigger pulse to the first stages of U2, which is connected as a cascading timer. The first stage's output becomes high for a time to allow the car to be turned on. If that does not happen, the first stage's output lowers, which sends a low trigger pulse to the second stage. The second stage then sends its output high, turning on Q5, which sounds the alarm for a given time. Once that time has elapsed, the alarm is shut off by a low output to Q5 and the system is reset. If the car door is closed or a second door opened while the alarm is sounding, the first stage retriggers and pre-pares to extend the ON-time of the alarm. The cascading or counting action continues until the car is left alone. You can add a switch on the positive supply rail at J3 to override and silence the alarm, if (for example) you plan to work on the car.Switch S1 is a normally closed type that is built into the case of the alarm; S1 is pushed to the open posi-tion when the case is mounted flush with a surface. Any attempt to remove the alarm will sound the alarm.   (View)

DIGITAL_MISCELLANEOUS_TEMPERATURE_GAUGE

Published:2009/7/9 4:15:00 Author:May

A diode (IN4148) is used as a temperature sensor. IC2 is an A/D converter with BCD output. A reference voltage set by R7 is applied to the positive input of IC2. As the temperature increases, the voltage across the temperature sensor resistance decreases. This increases the differential input voltage across pins 10 and 11 of IC2. R3 adjusts low calibration. R17 zeros the A/D converter and R7 adjusts high calibration.   (View)

Published:2009/7/20 6:34:00 Author:Jessie

Measures phase difference between two sinusoidal inputs. Each limiter (Q1 and Q2) drives one side of high-speed flip-flop Q3-Q4 through differentiating and clipping circuits, giving square wave that turns on when one input signal goes negative and turns off when other input goes negative.
