WIRE_CUTTING_ALARM

Published:2009/7/2 3:17:00 Author:May

SCR normally acts as open circuit in series with 12-VDC alarm relay because grid is made negative by voltage divider consisting of 100K in series with500 ohms. If ground on 500-ohm resistor is re-moved, as by removal of tape player or CB set from car by thief, gate becomes more posltive and SCR conducts, to energize relay, sound hom, and make headlights shine brightly. Ad-ditional triggering SCRs or alarm switches can be added as shown outside of dashed area for basic alarm.-A. Szablak, Another Burglar Alarm, 73 Magazine, May 1974, p 45-46.   (View)

Linearized_platinum_RTD_signal_conditioner

Published:2009/7/24 2:32:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-19 This circuit provides complete linearized signal conditioning for a platinum RTD (Rosemount 118MFRTD). To calibrate, substitute a precision decade box (General Radio 1432k) for Rp Set the box to the 0℃ value (100.00Ω) and adjust the offset trim (50 kΩ zero adjust) for a 0.00-V output. Next, set the decade box for a 140℃ output (154.26Ω) and adjust the gain trim (1 kΩ) for a 1.400-V output reading. Finally, set the box to 249.00Ω (400.00℃) and trim the linearity adjustment (5 kΩ) for a 4.000-V output. Repeat this sequence until all three points are fixed. The total error should be ±0.05℃ over the entire range for a normal100.00-Ω (0℃) sensor. Linear Technology. Linear Applications Handbook, 1990, p AN3-6.   (View)

OPEN_CIRCUIT_ALARM

Published:2009/7/2 3:15:00 Author:May

Closing of door or window switch sensor or closing of normally open panic-button switch at bedside and other strategic locations in home trips alarm that sounds loud bell and flashes bright light on and off. Sensor shorts control winding of K1, allow-ing K1 to drop out and apply line voltage to alarm circuit. One AC path is through D5 which rectifies AC for energizing DC latch relay K2 to short sensor lines even though initiating sensor has opened. Simultaneously, AC is applied to diode bridge having SCR between DC legs. C2 starts charging through R2 and R4, and C3 charges through R3. When voltage across C3 reaches about 9O VDC it fires neon and C3 dis-charges into gate of SCR. FuII Iine voltage is then applied to Iamp and bell plugged ;nto Ioad outlets. When C2 drops below holding current, SCR tums off during next AC cycle and Ioad goes off until neon fires again. Setting of 5K pot R4 gives range of 15-80 flashes and hom pulses per seeond. To stop alarm, open SPST switch momentarily.-R. F. Graf and G. J. Whalen, 'The Build-It Book of Safety Electronics, How-ard W Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1976, p 75-8O.   (View)

Offset_linearization_for_type_S_thermocouple

Published:2009/7/24 2:30:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-18 In this circuit, the LT1025 provides cold-junction compensation and the LTC chopper-stabilized amplifier is used for low drift. The type-S thermocouple output slope varies greatly with temperature (at 25℃, the output is 6℃, with an 11μV/℃ slope at 1000℃). This circuit linearizes the output and provides 3℃ accuracy over the indicated output range of 800 to 1200℃. To calibrate, trim R2for a Vout of 1.669 with a Vin, of 0.000 mV. Then, trim R2 for a Vout of 9.998 with a temperature of 1000℃ or for a Vin (+input) of 9.585 mV.   (View)

INTRUDER_ALARM

Published:2009/7/2 3:05:00 Author:May

Input is from Mullard RPY86 infrared detector responding to wave-lengths above 6 μm, making it immune to sun-light and backgrounds intermittently illumi-nated by sun. Output signal is produced only when ihcident radiation is changed by movement of intruder in monitored space. Mirrors rather than lenses concentrate incident radia-tion on detector because mirrors do not require high-quality surface finish. Preamp is followed by two amplifier stages, with R10 varying gain of second stage between 10 and 100. Band-width is 0.3-10 Hz. First trigger, having thresh-old of about 1 V, drives second trigger through diode pump to energize alarm relay when in-truder is present.- Ceramic Pyroelectric In-frared Detectors, Mullard, London, 1978, Tech-nical Note 79, TP1664, p 8.   (View)

Oven_temperature_controller

Published:2009/7/24 2:46:00 Author:Jessie

Pig. 13-27 This circuit shows a precision temperature controller for a small-component oven. When power is applied, the thermistor (a negative TC device) is at a high value. A1saturates positive. This forces the LT3525A switching regulator output low, biasing Q1. As the heater warms, the thermistor value decreases. When the inputs balance, A1comes out of saturation and the LT3525A pulse-width modulates the heater via Al, completing a feedback path. The 2-kHz pulse-width-modulated heater power is much faster than the thermal-loop response and the oven sees an even, continuous heat flow. Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook, 1990, p. AN5-1.   (View)

PULSED_HORN_ALARM

Published:2009/7/2 3:01:00 Author:May

Two CMOS packages incorporate multiple time delays to improve convenience and effectiveness of auto intrusion alarm. R1C1 gives 30-s delay for arming alarm after it is turned on by switch concealed inside car, to let driver get out of car. R2C2 gives 15-s delay before alarm sounds after door is opened, to allow driver to get back in car again and disable alarm. R3C3 turns off alarm in 300 s and resets alarm system for next intrusion. Car horn is pulsed 60 times per minute, so alarm would not be confused with stuck horn. Article tells how circuit works and gives detailed instruc-tions for instailation and connection to door and trunk switches.-G.

Fig.13-23 This simple circuit provides an accuracy of 0.25℃ over 2℃ to 400℃ sensed range, Note that one side of sensor Rp is grounded to minimize noise problems. To calibrate, substitute a precision decade box(General Radio 1432)for Rp. Set the box to the 5℃ value(1019.9Ω)and adjust the 5℃ trim for 0.05 V at the LT1006.

The resistance values given are for a nominal 1000.0-Ω(0℃)sensor. Sensors that deviate from this nominal value can be used by factoring In the deviation from 1000.0Ω Linear Technology.

Thermocouple_to_frequency_converter

Published:2009/7/24 2:43:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-25 This circuit also provides temperature-to-frequency conversion, but it uses the popular type-K thermocouple as a sensor (instead of a temperature sensor as does the circuit of Fig. 13-24). To calibrate it, place the thermocouple in a 60℃ environment, and adjust the 50-kΩ potentiometer for 600 Hz output. Note that beyond 60℃, the cold-junction network departs from the thermocouple's response and causes output errors to increase rapidly. Linear technology Linear Applications Handbook 1990, p.

Temperature_to_pulse_width_converter

Published:2009/7/24 2:54:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-33 This circuit uses an LM3524 pulse-width modulator to convert the output of an LM135 temperature transducer into a pulse width that can be measured by a digital system (such as a microprocessor-based data-acquisition system). Although the example uses the temperature transducer as the input, the circuit will convert any 0.1- to 5-V input applied to the 100-kΩ resistor into a 0- to 500-ms output pulse width with 0. 1 % linearity. The overall temperature-to-pulse-width scale factor is adjusted with the 5-kΩ gain-trim potentiometer. The oscillator output pulse at pin 3 of the LM3524 (not shown) occurs just before the pins 11/14 output pulse and it can be used to reset counters or other digital circuits.
