Pig. 12-23 This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 12-19, but with temperature compensation. RX, D1, and D2 cancel the effect of timing capacitance TC. The manufacturer recommends that the circuit be checked with an oven if TC is critical. Resistance can be added in parallel or series with RX to offset the timing capacitor TC If TC is not critical, use 240 kΩ for RX. Again, set the 5-kΩ gain adjust for 10-V output with a 10-kHz input.

Circuit Notes
This circuit uses a tricolor LED display to indicate acceptable and unacceptable output voltages. One to set the upper voltage limit, the other, the lower voltage limit. When the monitored voltage is above the set maximum, the LED display turns red. Yellow turns on for voltages below the set minimum, and green turns on for voltages between the high and the low settings. The circuit does not need a separate power supply. It is powered by the voltage it monitors.The circuit can be adapted to monitor voltage differences between two power supplies. Should the monitored voltages differ by more than a set value, a visual or an audible alarm would warn the operator about the difference.The circuit can also be modified for remote monitoring and the use of a separate power supply.

Circuit NotesA 6 V battery can provide 100-150 Vdc center-tapped at a high internal impedance (not dangerous though it can inflict an unpleasant jolt). A 6.3 V transformer is connected in reverse with a transistor used in a Hartley oscillator configuration. The frequency of operation may be controlled by varying the value of the 10 K ohm resistor. The 10 μF capacitor must have a working voltage of at least 250 Vdc. (View)

Uses 555 timer connected so frequency increases directly with intensity of light. Free-running frequency and duty cycle of timer operating in astable mode are controlled by two resistors and one capacitor. R3 sets upper frequency limit at about 6.5 kHz, and dark resistance of photocell R2 sets lower limit at about 1 Hz. Loudspeaker provides audio output, while LED flashes for visual indication when frequency goes below about 12 Hz.Applications include detection of lightning flashes, use as optical radar for blind, and use as sunrise alarm.-C.

Circuit NotesA light dimmer, a 1 pF capacitor and a 12 V car ignition coil form the simple line powered HV generator. The current in the dimmer is shown in Fig. B. At times t1, t2,..., set by the dimmer switch, the inner triac of the dimmer switches on, and a very high and very fast current pulse charges the capacitor through the primary of the induction coil. Then at a rate of 120 times per second for a 60 Hz line, a very high voltage pulse appears at the secondary of the coil. To obtain an HV dc output, use a voltage doubler. D1 and D2 are selenium rectifiers (TV 18 Siemens or ITT) used for the supply of television sets. High value output shock protection resistors, R, are recommended when suitable. (View)

See (a) for the timing information for the alarm circuit in (b). When leaving your vehicle, flip the arming switch and close the door 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 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 ground, use a single transistor as an inverter at the input. (View)

Circuit NotesBy repetitively charging and discharging a capacitor through the primary of an induction coil with a high voltage, an ultra high emf is induced in the secondary. Switching is performed by the triac, triggered by the disc at times set by C1 and R1. With a 12 V car ignition coil for example, the length of sparkgap obtained is 12 mm of air for C2 = 0.1μF. If the dielectric strength of air is assumed to be 3 kV/mm, this spark-gap length corresponds to 36 kV. From the curve shown in Fig. B, care must be taken in keeping the value of C2 below 1μF as the coil is liable to be seriously damaged at this value of C2. Power consumption is only about one watt.

False alarms produced by semiconductor failure are impossible with this burglar-alarm circuit equipped with relays. What's more, the circuit is virtually immune to false triggering. With a standby current of less than 0.1 mA, the circuit offers all the features an alarm needs: entry and exit delays, a timed alarm period, and automatic reset after an intrusion.One CMOS CD4093B quad NAND gate, IC1, supplies both logic and analog timing functions with the aid of Schmitt-trigger switching action. Relays make the circuit fail-safe in the alarm-active mode, even when the semiconductors fail. The relays are 12-V, with coil resistances of 250 Ω or more.Closing switch S1 initiates circuit operation. Capacitor C2 begins charging through resistor R2 and arming indicator LED1 lights. When pin 2 of ICla reaches its switching point, its output decreases, extinguishing LED1 and indicating that the exit delay has ended. That output also drives the base of Q1 low, so that if the emitter circuit completes to the VDD line, Q1 conducts. The circuit is now armed, and current drain drops to less than 0.1 mA.When the vehicle is entered, relay RY1 contacts close momentarily, completing the emitter circuit of Q1 and causing the RY2 contacts to close. Charging C4 through R7 determines the entry-delay period. If the system isn't turned off by opening S1 during this period, the oscillator circuit of IClc and ICld activates, and a rapid on/off horn-honking cycle kicks on with the aid of Q2 and RY3.The alarm cycle ends after about a minute, when C2 charges through R3 to the threshold voltage of ICla at pin 1. This voltage resets the timing circuit, readying it for another entry/alarm cycle. RY1 is connected for vehicles that use door switches connected to +12 V. For vehicles that use grounding door switches, the bottom of the RY1 coil should connect to + 12 V instead of ground. In the latter case, the polarity of C7 should be reversed. 'For home use, the R3C3 time constant should be increased to give a longer alarm. (View)
