SCR_GAS_SMOKE_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/5 22:28:00 Author:May

Simple circuit uses Taguchi TGS308 gas sensor with SCR Q1 for half-wave control of 24-VAC alarm horn.Sensor is based on adsorptive and desorptive reaction of gases on tin oxide semiconductor surface encased in noble-metal heater that serves also as electrode. Combustible gases increase conductivity of sensor, thereby increasing load voltage enough to trip comparator and initiate alarm. Output voltage across Rl is normally about 3 VRMS. With gas or smoke, voltage can rise to 20 V. When gas or smoke has cleared sensor, SCR turns off at first zero crossing. Drawbacks are absence of time delay for preventing false alarm when power istumed on and reduced sound level of horn with half-wave operation.-A.

NOISE_LIMTER

Published:2009/7/5 22:02:00 Author:May

This limiter improves signal-to-noise ratio. It is connected between the detector output and the audio input (if high impedance) or at some relatively high-impedance section between two audio stages-preferably the low level stages. D1 and D2 can be any diode having relatively low forward resistance and very high back resistance. The circuit is excelent for receivers having bandwidths down to 2 or 3 kHz. Increase the value of C1 for receivers having narrower bandwidths.   (View)

Uses simple crystal oscillator combined with fixed or tunable FM receiver and CRO to show carrier shift on either side of center frequency，Vertical amplifier of CRO should be direct-coupled. To calibrate, tune oscillator either 10 or 15 kHz above or below second oscillator of receiver, and calibrate screen of CR0 accordingly. 0ne calibration oscillatoris sufficient since transmitter usually deviates equally well both ways.－V.Epp,FM Deviation Meters,73 Magazine, March 1973,p 81－83.   (View)

BAR_GRAPH_VOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/3 3:13:00 Author:May

This display uses ten LED's to display a voltage range from 10.5 to 15 volts. Each LED represents a 0.5-volt step in voltage. The heart of the circuit is the LM-3914 dot/bar display driver. Trimmer potentiometer R5 is adjusted so that 7.5 volts is applied to the top side of the divider. Resistor R7 and diodes D2 through D5 clamp the voltage applied to the LED's to about 3 volts. A lowpass filter made up of L1 and C2 guards against voltage spikes. Diode D1 is used to protect against reverse voltage in case the voltmeter is hooked up backward.   (View)

POWER_SUPPLY_MONITOR

Published:2009/7/3 2:50:00 Author:May

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.   (View)
