Heat Detector Alarm Using the UM3561

Image
A very simple heat detector alarm electronic project can be designed using the UM3561 sound generator circuit and some other common electronic parts . This heat detector electronic circuit project uses a complementary pair comprising npn and pnp transistor to detect heat . Collector of T1 transistor is connected to the base of the T2 transistor , while the collector of T2 transistor is connected to RL1 relay . T3 and T4 transistors connected in darlington configuration are used to amplify the audio signal from the UM3561 ic . Heat Detector Alarm Circuit diagram When the temperature close to the T1 transistor is hot , the resistance to the emitter –collector goes low and it starts conducting . In same time T2 transistor conducts , because its base is connected to the collector of T1 transistor and the RL1 relay energized and switches on the siren which produce a fire engine alarm sound . This electronic circuit project must be powered from a 6 volts DC power supply , but the UM3561 IC i...

Simple Electromagnetic Field Detector Schematic

Image
This circuit is sensitive to low frequency electromagnetic radiation and will detect for example hidden wiring or the field that encompasses a transformer. Pickup is by a radial type inductor, used as a probe which responds well to low frequency changing magnetic and electric fields. Ordinary headphones are used to for detection. The field that surrounds a transformer is heard as a 50 or 60Hz buzz. The circuit is below:- Electromagnetic Field Detector Circuit Diagram Notes: I threaded a length of screened cable through an old pen tube and soldered the ends to a radial type can inductor. I used 1mH. The inductor fitted snugly into the pen tube. The opposite end of the cable connects to the input of the op-amp. Any op-amp should work here, possibly better results may be achieved with a low noise FET type such as the LF351. The 2M2 potentiometer acts as a gain control and the output is a pair of headphones. Stereo types can be used if they are wired as mono. I used an 8 ohm type, but the ...

Dag gerboard Position Detector

Image
In sailing regattas it’s handy to have a dag-gerboard that can be raised and lowered vertically. As the winding handle or positioning motor needs to rotate the spindle of the lifting device some 100 to 150 times throughout its full range it would be extremely handy to have a quick idea of its current position. An electronic count of the number of revolutions would be ideal. Thank goodness most sailors now have a 12-V supply available! To get this to work you need to apply white and black markings to the spindle, each covering half of the circumference. Next, mask off two electric eye devices (reflected light sensors) next to one another (approximately 10 mm apart). For secure detection both sensors should be positioned not more than 5 mm from the paint markings. Dag-gerboard Position Detector Circuit Diagram : The markings to be read by the sensor should be displaced laterally, so that the direction of rotation can be recognised in addition to the number of revolutions counted. At...

Metal Detector based on IC CS209A

Image
This is an easy metal detector circuit based on IC CS209A from the Cherry Semiconductors. A 100uH coil is employed to sense the presence of metal. The IC CS209A has a built in oscillator circuit and also the coil L1 forms a part of its external LC circuit that determines the frequency of oscillation. The inductance of the coil change in the presence of metals and the resultant change in oscillation is demodulated to make an alarm. The LED offers a visual indication too. This circuit can sense metals up to a distance of few inches.

Metal Detector Based on the TDA0161

Image
These metal detector circuit diagram is based on the TDA0161 monolithic integrated circuit , designed for metallic body detection by detecting the variations in high frequency Eddy current losses. For detecting metals , TDA0161 require an external LC tuned circuit . Metal Detector Circuit diagram Output signal is determined by supply current changes. Independent of supply voltage, this current is high or low according to the presence or the absence of a close metallic object. This metal detector circuit use two LEDs , which offer an visual indication of presence or absence at a metals ,around the coil . To adjust the circuit you need to make sure there is no metal near the coil and then set the fine adjustment to a "Mid position". After that you need to adjust the course adjustment to turn on the LED and , adjust the fine adjustment to turn off the LED. This detector electronic circuit operates over a wide range input voltage of 4 -35 volts .  If you want you can use other va...

Powerful Bat Detector device

Image
Powerful Bat Detector device Circuit Diagram The Powerful Bat Detector is a abundance analysis blazon device. Abundance analysis blazon detectors acquiesce you to apprehend accelerated complete by digitally ascent the abundance bottomward into the animal audition range. For instance, a western pipistrelle bat emits accelerated complete in the ambit of 53 to 91 kHz. If you bisect that abundance by 16, the new abundance ambit is 3.3 to 5.7 kHz, calmly aural our audition range. Because the analysis is done digitally, all amplitude advice is lost. Accelerated sources candy by the detector catechumen to sounds like geiger-counter clicks and chirps. The basal ambit of the Simple Bat Detector is apparent in the schematic diagram to the right. It is about composed of 3 chip circuits, or ICs. The arresting from an accelerated transducer is fed to IC-1, an LM386 audio amplifier, which is configured to accommodate a arresting accretion of 200. The arresting is accompanying to IC-2, a added LM386...

Water Level Detector

Image
To monitor the filling of a bath, a water-tank, or a swimming pool, or to warn when a gully is overflowing, here’s a very simple water level detector built around a CD4011 CMOS quad NAND chip. Gates IC1.A and IC1.B are wired as an astable multivibrator. The oscillator frequency is determined by C1, R2 and preset P1. Water Level Detector Circuit Diagram : When quiescent, resistor R1 pulls the input to gate IC1.A down to logic low, which there-fore by default blocks the operation of the oscillator in the absence of water. When water is present between the e+ an d e−electrodes, IC1. A is taken high, enabling the oscillator. The output signal from gate IC1.B is shaped by IC1.C to obtain a rectangular waveform. Gate IC1.D inverts the signal so that transistor T1 is held of f in the absence of water, which avoids current flowing in the primary of transformer TR1 when the system is at rest. TR1 is a 12 V 1.5 VA AC power transformer wired as a step-up trans-former i.e. with the low-volt ag...
