LASER_LIGHT_DETECTOR

The laser light detector utilizes a sensitive photo transistor (Q5) placed at the focal point of a lens (LE2). The output of Q5 is fed to a sensitive amplifier consisting of array (A1) and is biased via the voltage divider consisting of R14 and R1. The base is not used.Q5 is capacitively coupled to a Darlington pair for impedance transforming and is further fed to a capacitively coupled cascaded pair of common-emitter amplifiers for further signal amplification. Sensitivity control (R7) controls base drive to the final transistor of the array and hence controls overall system sensitivity. Output of the amplifier array is capacitively coupled to a one-shot consisting of Q1 and 6|2 in turn integrating the output pulses of Q2 onto capacitor C8 through Dl. This dc level now drives relay drivers 6)3 and 6)4 activating K1 along with energizing indicator D3, consequently controlling the desired external circuitry. The contacts of K1 are in series with low ohm resistor R13 to prevent failure when switching capacitive loads. J2 allows listening to the intercepted light beam via headsets. This is especially useful when working with pulsed light sources such as GaAs lasers or any other varying periodic light source.   (View)

AUDIBLE_S_METER

Published:2009/6/30 22:12:00 Author:May

AUDIBLE_S_METER
When connected to repeater circuit generates tone burst 3 s after input signal has dropped out, with duration of 60 ms. Pitch of tone varies inversely with signal strength; highest pitch of 3500 Hz thus represents weak signal, and 350-Hz pitch corresponds to strongest input signal. Can be used to check performance of transmitters and antennas using that repeater. Repeater receiver must havesmeter, as in RCA CA3089E receiver, output of which can be fed to terminal A of circuit. Switch changes output from S-meter to audible encoder. Input B goes to squelch, C goes to +12 V source that is on when receiver is on, and D provides tone output for feed to audio amplifier and loudspeaker. Unlabeled transistors can be any medium-gain small-signal NPN and PNP silicon, comparable to European BC107 and BC177.-F.

Although designed for use with Clegg FM-27B 2-meter FM receiver, circuit can be readily adapted to other receivers. Am-plifier brings low-level455-MHz IF signal up to level suitable for driving meter. For other IF, such as 10.7 or 11.7 MHz, capacitor values should be changed accordingly. Any NPN tran, sistor with beta of 30 or more at IF value can be used. Diodes can be any type. Supply should be regulated but can be 7-14 V.

GROUND_TESTER
This circuit checks the reliability of appliances so that the equipment may be used safely. The test circuit must be plugged into a properly wired three terminal wall outlet. When a two-lead or three-lead appliance is plugged into circuit outlet S01, neon lamps NE1 and NE2 will light if the appliance is safe. If neon NE2 is lit the appliance is dangerous, because the neutral lead is 110 Vac above ground.   (View)

LIGHT_INTERRUPTION_DETECTOR

Published:2009/6/30 2:37:00 Author:May

LIGHT_INTERRUPTION_DETECTOR
Use of SCR as regenerative amplifier rather than as switch gives extremely high sensitivity to very slight reductions in light reading photoresistor. Requires no light source or accurately aligned light-beam optics. In typical application as burglar alarm, light shining through window from streetlight provides sufficient ambient illumination so any movement of intruder within 10 feet of unitwill energize Sonalertalarm. Sensitivity control R4 is adjusted so SCR receives positive pulses from AC line, but their amplitude is not quite enough to start regenerative action of SCR. Reduction in light then increases resistance of photoresistor enough to raise level of gate pulses for SCR, starting regenerative amplification that energizes relay. Use Mallory SC-628P Sonalert which produces pulsed 2500-Hz sound. With S2 open, alarm stops when changes in light cease. With S2 closed, alarm is latched on and S1 must be opened to stop sound.-R. F. Graf and G. J. Whalen, The Build-It Book of Safety Electronics, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1976, p 7-12.   (View)
