Input is from multiplier phototube having anthracene scintillation crystal on its window. Signals are amplified by Q1, Q2, and Q3, and fed to counter flip-flop Q4-Q5. Flip-f1ip output goes to logarith-mic count circuit whose output level is indi-cared by microammeter. When output exceeds predetermined level, alarm circuit closes relay that actuates audible and visual alarms.-H. E.

The unit provides a square-wave output that is rich in harmonic content. The circuit's output frequency can be varied from 50 Hz to 15 kHz. The heart of the circuit is a 555 astable connected in its equal mark/space mode. The frequency is controlled by potentiometer R2 and capacitor C1.Resistor R3 controls the output level with the output ac-coupled through C3.   (View)

LIGHT_CHASER_II

Published:2009/7/9 23:08:00 Author:May

Up to six lights can be sequentially flashed using this circuit. LED1 through LED6 can be replaced by optocouplers (M0C3010, etc.) to control 120-Vac loads via triacs. U1 generates pulses that clock the shift register mode up of the six D flip-flops in the CD 40174. By S1A-B, the register can be programmed either ON or OFF (low or high) and then switched to nut in the programmed sequence. S2 clears the program.   (View)

LOW_VOLTAGE_INDICATOR

Published:2009/7/9 23:07:00 Author:May

Input terminal VIN is connected to the + V line of the circuit that the indicator is to monitor, and the grounds of both circuits are connected together. The position of potentiometer R1's wiper deter-mines Q1's base voltage. As long as the transistor gets enough bias voltage to remain on, the low voltage at the collector will keep the SCR from firing. As the battery voltage starts to fall, the transistor's base voltage will fall as well. When Q1 turns off VIN drops), the collector voltage increases. That voltage provides enough gate drive to turn on the SCR, which turns on the LED. The LED could also be a buzzer or almost any other type of waming device.   (View)

THREE_WAY_TOUCH_LAMP

Published:2009/7/9 22:37:00 Author:May

A three-way switch to control a lamp (off-dim-bright, etc.) uses an NE555 timer to generate a one-second pulse, triggered by ambient ac fields that are picked up by the human body. C1 and Dl form an input network. U2 is a decode counter/di ider and drives one of 10 outputs (three are used). The logic outputs drive various resistors in series with the LED in the optocoupler. The optocoupler controls a triac that is in series with a load (lamp, etc.). By reconfiguring the outputs of U2, more than three brightness levels can be obtained, up to 10. An IN914 and resistor will be required for each output.   (View)
