Battery Guard for Emergency Lights

Published:2012/9/28 21:01:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Battery Guard, Emergency Lights

As the name implies,emergency light is a source of light available during an emergency.It is an automatic system in which a rechargeable battery operated light source turns on as soon as the ac mains fail.When the grid supply is restored,the lamp is turned off. An emergency light essentially consists of a source of electricity – a rechargeable battery pack and an automatic sensing circuit to check the presence(or absence) of mains supply.The sensing circuit connects a lamp (or a compact fluorescent tube inverter) circuit in the event of mains failure and disconnects it when the mains supply is restored.When ac mains supply is available,a charger circuit charges the battery pack to keep it in top condition(fig 2). Emergency Lights Guard Circuit Diagram Over the years,emergency lights have become better designed and more reliable. However, they retain a few weak facilities. Usually 6 volt sealed maintenance free (SMF) batteries are used in portable emergency lights. Unfortunately, many low cost lights give no indication when the battery has gone flat, so that there is a risk of the battery failure. Only high-end systems have built in electronic deep discharge protection circuitry to disconnect the output load in case the battery voltage happens to fall below a safe value.   (View)

Improved Infrared Detector circuit

Published:2012/9/28 21:00:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Improved, Infrared Detector

This improved infrared detector is specifically intended for use with commercial IR remote control handsets. This little circuit is useful for quick go/no-go testing of just about any remote control transmitting Infrared (IR) light signal. The key component of the IR detector is a sensitive photo transistor 2N5777. All infrared remote controls transmit pulse bursts. The photo transistor detects the modulated IR signal from the remote control handset under test and its output is processed by next BC557 and fed to the final LED driver transistor BC557.

Dual Power source circuit

Published:2012/9/28 21:00:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Dual, Power source

Here is a Dual power source for the Home Security system which has to be switched on continuously. It is a power saving circuit that uses a Solar panel for providing power during day time and a transformer power supply during night.It has a battery backup and the power to the security system is derived from the 12 Volt 4.5 Ah battery.So that even if the day light is not sufficient in clody days, the security system will work normally. About the Solar Power sourceDuring day time, the security system gets 12 volt power supply from the battery or the Solar Panel. If the amount of power from the solar panel is not sufficient, battery will compensate it. Typically a single solar cell generates 0.5 volt and around 50 mA current in bright light. A single solar cell is rated at 45 mW. So in the 12 volt solar panel, there will be 24 solar cells connected serially. It can give 1 Ampere current in day light. Typically a 15 W Solar panel gives 1 Ampere current in bright light. Here a 12 V 5W Solar panel is used in the circuit to give power to the security system and charging current to the battery. It gives around 300 mA current. About the DC power source Night charging is attained by the 12 volt DC obtained from a 0-12 volt 1 Amps step down transformer and the fullwave rectifier comprising D3 through D6. Capacitor C2 removes ripples from DC to give clean power to the security system and for the battery.Resistor R4 gives 80 mA current during night for Trickle charging the battery.At the same time, power to the security system will be available from the battery. The trickle charging provision save AC power and protect battery from over charging since the battery will get sufficient charge during day time. Dual Power source Circuit diagram Battery status indicator This part of the circuit indicates the voltage level in the battery as well as the voltage from the solar panel.Zenerdiode ZD conducts only when the battery holds more than 11.6 volts. When ZD conducts Red LED illuminates.When the battery voltage goes below 11 volts ,LED turns off.If the LED is not lighting, it indicates that battery is not attaining full charge or the solar panel is not giving 12 volts. LDR switch This is used to switch on the DC power from the transformer power supply at night. LDR offers low resistance in day light so that it gives more current to the base of T1.It is a PNP transistor and it remains off during day time due high voltage in its base. T2 also remains off due the lack of base bias. During night,resistance of LDR decreases, and the base of T1 becomes negative. It then turns on. T2 also turns on and charging current is available from the emitter of T2. Resistor R4 reduces the charging current to 80 mA for trickle charging the battery. Adjust VR1 to set the sensitivity of LDR. BD139 and BC557 Pin connections   (View)

Smart smoke sensor alarm circuit

Published:2012/9/28 20:59:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Smart smoke， sensor， alarm

At the heart of this ultra simple smoke sensor or detector alarm is H21A1, which is a photo-interrupter module consists of a gallium-arsenide infrared LED coupled to a silicon phototransistor in a plastic housing. The slot between the infrared sender(LED) and receiver (phototransistor) allows interruption of the signal with smoke, switching the module output from ‘on’ to ‘off’.When the smoke enters the slot, the infrared beam falling on the phototransistor is obstructed. As a result, the phototransistor stops working and the transistors (T1&T2), wired as a simple darlington pair, conduct to activate the rest of the circuit. When the darlington pair conducts, the gate voltage of SCR BT169 (T3) goes high and the SCR is fired. Consequently, the gate terminal of mosfet BS170 (T4) receives positive voltage through resistor R4 and the active piezo-sounder (BZ1) energises to latch! Visual indicator LED (D1) lights up instantly. The buzzer sounds to indicate the presence of smoke, unless you switch off the circuit by disconnecting the 9 volt dc input supply. For optimum performance, adjust trimpots P1, P2 and the value of resistor R1. Smoke detector alarm circuit diagram H21A1 schematic   (View)

Entry Alarm circuit

Published:2012/9/28 20:58:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Entry, Alarm circuit

This is an Infrared based Brocken beam alarm to protect doors and entry passages. It gives a loud alarm when somebody crosses the Invisible Infrared barrier. It can protect the doors both day and night and is free from false triggering. The circuit is too simple and can be a good evening project for the hobbyists. The circuit uses Infrared diodes to emit continuous IR rays which are not pulsed as in the case of remote handsets. The NPN Darlington Photo transistor is used as a light sensor. L14F1 is the ultra sensitive Darlington photo transistor with high gain. Its collector is connected to the positive rail through VR1 and the Emitter has a Green LED to indicate standby mode. The base of T1 is left free without connecting anywhere. This base junction is exposed through the window of T1 so that light photons will bias the base. The degree of biasing depends on the intensity of photons.T2 is the alarm driver and its base is connected to the collector of T1.So that the base bias of T2 depends on the conduction of T1. When the Infrared rays illuminate the photo transistor, it conducts pulling the base of T1 to ground level so that it remains off. Red LED and Buzzer connected to the emitter of T2 remains off in this condition. When a person crosses the IR beam, T1 turns off and its collector voltage becomes high. T2 then conducts and activates Red LED and buzzer.L14F1 DatasheetBC547 Datasheet Entry Alarm Circuit diagram The circuit can be constructed on a small piece of Perf board. Assemble R1 and IR LEDs on a separate board. Fix IR LEDs on one side of the entry and the Phototransistor on the opposite side. Carefully align IR beam on the Phototransistor so that buzzer will be silent in the standby mode. Move hand across the beam, buzzer should sound.VR1 adjust the base bias of T2 to keep the buzzer off in the standby mode. L14F1 Phototransitor L14F1 and BC547 Pins   (View)

Fast Charger circuit

Published:2012/9/28 20:57:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Fast Charger

Here is a High current charger for Fast charging sealed lead acid batteries used in Automobiles, Inverters etc. This charger can give 5 Ampere current for quick rejuvenation of the battery. It uses an Adjustable voltage regulator so that 6 volt and 12 volt batteries can be charged.LM338K is a high current variable voltage regulator that can provide 2 to 25 volts DC with high current output. It’s important features are 7 Ampere peak output current, adjustable output down to 1.2 volts, thermal regulation etc. It is easy to use and require only 2 external resistors to set the output voltage. The time dependent current limiting ability of the device allows peak current of up to 12 ampere to be drawn for short time. So that it is useful in heavy transient loads and speed start up. LM 338 Variable Regulator Design considerations Use of external resistorsLM338 K is available in metal can package TO3. K suffix metal can. It has only two pins – Vin and Adjust. The body of the device acts as the output pin. On the bottom side, the first pin is adjust and the second pin is Vin. LM338 requires heat sink to dissipate heat since it is draining high current. Two resistors are required to set the output voltage. Resistor R1 (220 Ohms) act as the programme resistor. Usually 1.25 volts reference voltage (Vref) develops between the output and adjusts pins. The reference voltage is impressed across the programme resistor R1.The voltage across R1 is constant so that constant current flows through the output set resistor VR1.Therefore output voltage is Vout = Vref (1 + VR1 / R1) + I Adj VR1 Use of capacitorsTwo capacitors are usually soldered close to the input and output terminals. C2 is the input bypass capacitor. Output capacitor C3 gives stability for the output current. Circuit operationInput voltage is obtained from a 15-0-15 volt 5 Ampere secondary transformer with rectifying diodes D1 and D2. Capacitor C1 makes the DC ripples free and around 16 volt DC enters into the Vin input of the regulator. VR1 can be used to set the output voltage from 2 volts to 25 volts. A digital panel meter is used for measuring the output voltage. Ready made LED or LCD panel meters are available at reasonable cost. This can be directly connected to the output. So by adjusting VR1, it is easy to see the output voltage in the meter .If the output put voltage reduces due to line voltage drop, it can be easily detected through the panel meter. The panel meter also can be used to measure the terminal voltage of the battery. If the power supply is switched off, meter shows the terminal voltage. If the voltage remains steady, it indicates that the battery is fully charged and holding charge.Easily available IN 5402 diodes are rated at 3 Amps so if the device become too hot, use a 10 A KBPC 1000 Bridge rectifier.

Timer light switch circuit

Published:2012/9/28 20:57:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Timer， light， switch

Tiny Timer Light Switch presented here is a simple transistorised electronic timer which drives a high efficiency white LED for a finite time out. This circuit is very useful for in-car reading etc. The circuit works off 12 volt dc supply. After construction, fit the unit at a suitable location inside your car and power the circuit from the in-dash standard cigar lighter socket. The timer light switch is ultra simple, economic, straight forward and self explanatory. How the timer light switch works?Normally T1 is turned off by P1 and R2. When the trigger switch S1 is pressed the base of T1 is connected to the +12V supply via R2. Now T1 turns on and this action turns on the next transistor T2 which in turn energises the white LED (D2). Resistor R4 limits the operating current of white LED (D2). When the switch is pressed is current also flows into capacitor C1 (through R1) and charges it. So when the switch S1 is released the charge in the capacitor C1 keeps T1 turned on until the charge has decayed away through R2 and P1. You can easily increase the ouput on time by increasing the resistance of the potentiometer P1. Timer Light Switch Circuit Diagram   (View)

Transformerless Power Supply 30V 1A

Published:2012/9/28 20:56:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Transformerless， Power Supply， 30V， 1A

This transformerless power supply circuit is designed for medium current applications. During the negative half period, the capacitor C5 is charged to peak voltage network. Transformerless Power Supply Circuit Schematic The positive half wave will open the thyristor and the electric charge accumulated in C5 will be transferred in C4. The transport of electric charge through the thyristor begins when the voltage on C4 drop below a specified level of voltage (set by zener D4). Thus the output voltage does not depend too much on the voltage variations or the output load. The thyristor control signal is obtained as follows: main sinusoidal voltage is applied through capacitor C1 to D4 zener diodes that limit the voltage to 30 Vpp. Thyristor will trigger on the first front of the limited voltage that is applied through C2 – R2.   (View)

Multiplexer Switch circuit with 4066

Published:2012/9/28 20:56:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Multiplexer， Switch circuit，4066

This multiplexer switch circuit is built with the IC 4066 and was designed to switch multiple signal sources into a single common output and can be used as a replacement for the conventional mechanical switches.Conventional multiplexer switches hava an annoying disadvantage that the video signals mix over when the source is changed but this circuit avoids this problem by disabling the inactive signal line.The heart of the switch is a digitally controlled analog switch 4066. The switches are ES1 … ES8 and each 4066 contains 4 switches. When channel 1 is selected, ES1 and ES2 are closed and ES3 is open. Channel is suppressed at this moment since ES5 and ES6 are open and ES7 prevents cross-over between the two channels by grounding the channel 2 line. The bandwidth of the multiplexer sw circuit is around 8 MHz. The current consumption is 1 mA. A high level power supply voltage level is required since the input impedance level of the circuit drops with higher voltage levels. When the multiplexer circuit is connected to a 75 Ω impedance load, some signal losses will result due to the internal resistance of the switches. This can be compensated by connecting a video amplifier at the output.Article submitted by Michael Gregory – Romania. Multiplexer Switch Circuit Diagram   (View)

1 Watt Four Stage FM Transmitter

Published:2012/9/28 20:52:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: 1 Watt， Four Stage， FM Transmitter

This FM transmitter circuit uses four radio frequency stages: a VHF oscillator built around transistor BF494 (T1), a preamplifier built around transistor BF200 (T2), a driver built around transistor 2N2219 (T3) and a power amplifier built around transistor 2N3866 (T4). A condenser microphone is connected at the input of the oscillator. Working of the 1 Watt transmitter circuit is simple. When you speak near the microphone, frequency-modulated signals are obtained at the collector of oscillator transistor T1. The FM signals are amplified by the VHF preamplifier and the pre-driver stage. You can also use transistor 2N5109 in place of 2N2219. The preamplifier is a tuned class-A RF amplifier and the driver is a class-C amplifier. Signals are finally fed to the class-C RF power amplifier, which delivers RF power to a 50-ohm horizontal dipole or ground plane antenna. Use a heat-sink with transistor 2N3866 for heat dissipation (Note: or 2N4427 because it works better at 12 V and delivers up to 1 watt RF power). Carefully adjust trimmer VC1 connected across L1 to generate frequency within 88-108 MHz. Also adjust trimmers VC2 through VC7 to get maximum output at maximum range. Regulator IC 78C09 provides stable 9V supply to the oscillator, so variation in the supply voltage will not affect the frequency generated. You can also use a 12V battery to power the circuit. Assemble the circuit on a general purpose PCB. Install the antenna properly for maximum range. Coils L1 through L5 are made with 20 SWG copper-enamelled wire wound over air-cores having 8mm diameter. They have 4, 6, 6, 5 and 7 turns of wire, respectively.

Numeric Water Level Indicator circuit

Published:2012/9/28 20:49:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Numeric， Water Level Indicator

Most water-level indicators for water tanks are based upon the number of LEDs that glow to indicate the corresponding level of water in the container. Here we present a digital version of the water-level indicator. It uses a 7-segment display to show the water level in numeric form from 0 to 9.The numeric water level indicator circuit works off 5V regulated power supply. It is built around priority encoder IC 74HC147 (IC1), BCD-to-7-segment decoder IC CD4511 (IC2), 7-segment display LTS543 (DIS1) and a few discrete components. When the water tank is empty, all the inputs of IC1 remain high. As a result, its output also remains high, making all the inputs of IC2 low. Display LTS543 at this stage shows ‘0,’ which means the tank is empty. Similarly, when the water level reaches L-1 position, the display shows ‘1,’ and when the water level reaches L-8 position, the display shows ‘8.’ Finally, when the tank is full, all the inputs of IC1 become low and its output goes low to make all the inputs of IC2 high. Display LTS543 now shows ‘9,’ which means the tank is full. Assemble the numeric water level circuit on a general-purpose PCB and enclose in a box. Mount 7-segment LTS543 on the front panel of the box. For sensors L-1 though L-9 and ground, use corrosion free conductive-metal (stainless-steel) strips.Source: Electronics For You Magazine Numeric Water-Level Indicator Circuit Diagram   (View)
