12v Light Dark Switch Circuit Diagram


This is the 12v Light / Dark Switch Circuit Diagram. Often, for certain low voltage lighting systems; you would like to turn off the lights during the bright light of the day.  Most commercial day/night switches are designed for AC lighting.  This hobby circuit below was designed for a 12v DC system.  But, it could be modified for other voltage as well.  It uses an inexpensive photo-transistor as the light detector.  An n-channel FET is used to switch power to the lights.  A transistor circuit is included to provide some hysteresis.  

This keeps the circuit from fluttering the light during the transition from day to night and night to day.  It is recommended that a plastic tube be placed over the transistor to prevent it from being illuminated by the lights it is controlling.  By selecting the appropriate power FET, the circuit could control over 100 watts worth of 12v lighting.   (July 22, 2008)

Build a 12V 7.2Ah SMF Battery Charger Circuit Diagram . The LM317 is an adjustable three-terminal positive-voltage regulator capable of supplying more than 1.5A over an output-voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. It is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors, R2’ and R2” (R2= R2’+ R2”) to set the output voltage. Furthermore, both line and load regulation is better than standard fixed regulators. In addition to having higher performance than fixed regulators, this device includes on-chip current limiting thermal overload protection, and safe-operating-area protection. All overload protection remains fully functional, even if the ADJUST terminal is disconnected. By connecting a fixed resistor, R1 the ADJUST and OUTPUT terminals, the LM317 can function as a precision current regulator. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response. Schematic Diagram using LM317   The ADJUST terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ra

Full Power Mobile Phone Jammer Circuit Diagram .To day if we are talking about expert Cell phone Jammers we are conversing about this schematic underneath. First off all you should be very very cautious how to use this apparatus. Its completely illegal and so the reason. I post this Circuit is only for educational and testing causes. This type of apparatus is being utilised by security for VIPS, particularly at their limousines to avoid blasting device initiating while the vehicle passes from the goal cell phone-bomb. Off course there are those who use it to make a antic or to make the persons crazy in the rectangle block you are. The power of the jammer is currently sufficient to do your thing, but certainly you can place a 30W linear power amp at the RF output and impede a much wider locality. So, Be pleasant individual with that and recall that there are people who may need desperately to obtain or make a call and one of them could be you! And if you can't oppose of functio

On line Ladder Program Editing for RSLogix 500

On line Ladder Program Editing for RSLogix 500 There are five basic steps in performing an edit on line.   1)   Start Edits, 2)   Make Changes, 3)   Accept edits, 4)   Test Edits, and 5) Assemble edits.   Although these steps seem very simple there are a few rules to watch out for.   You cannot expand or create a data table on line in the SLC, and you must be in program mode (or off line) to expand a data table on line in the PLC-5.   You cannot make an on line edit if the key switch is in Run Mode.   In the PLC-5, if backplane switch 8 is on, you cannot make an on line edit.     You do not need to perform an on line edit to directly change a value in the data table such as the preset of a timer or counter.   If the processor is in program mode, you do not need to test and assemble after accepting.   If the processor is in program mode, and a rung is deleted, there is no warning. Let's walk through the 5 step procedure: Look at the rung below.   Our objective is to transfer contro
