SP Network Voltage Indicator

Image
Using this schematic is created a network voltage indicator electronic circuit. If the input voltage is gift across the network, the optocoupler transistor is open, T1 is blocked and controlled rectifier, Th1, is in a very state of conduction. Since each terminals of the piezoelectric buzzer is at identical potential, buzzer is off. If voltage disappears, the transistor T1 enters the conduction and therefore makes the terminal of buzzer to be placed on the bottom (maintains thyristor conduction state). during this state of affairs, there's a sufficiently giant potential distinction across the buzzer and D5's to see that these 2 components to point AC power loss, each audible and visual. By pressing the reset button current is interrupted by Th1, therefore thyristor enter in blocking state and therefore the different terminal of the buzzer is connected to ground.

Simple Water Level Indicator Circuit Schematic

Image
The whole project was developed on a friend's request. Its purpose was to remotely monitor the water-level in a metal tank located in the attic by means of a very simple control unit placed in the kitchen, some floors below. Mains requirements were: No separate supply for the remote circuit Main and remote units connected by a thin two-wire cable Simple LED display for the main unit Battery operation to avoid problems related to mains supply and water proximity As the circuit was battery operated a low current consumption was obviously welcomed The very small remote unit is placed near the tank and measures the water level in three ranges by means of two steel rods. Each range will cover one third of the tank capacity: Almost empty - signaled by means of a red LED (D3) in the control unit display About half-level - signaled by means of a yellow LED (D2) in the control unit display Almost full - signaled by means of a green LED (D1) in the control unit display Simple Water Level...

Blown Fuse Indicator

Image
This blown fuse indicator will work with a wide range of DC supply voltages from 5V to 50V. It illuminates LED1 when the fuse blows. With the fuse intact, Q1 is held off and there is no bias current available for the base of Q2. So the LED is off. When the fuse blows, a small current flows via the base-emitter junctions of Darlington transistor Q1, through its base resistor R1 and then via the load. Typically this current will be around 20μA and this turns on Q1 which provides base current to Q2 which then turns on to illuminate the LED. Blown Fuse Indicator Circuit Diagram : The emitter current of Q2 is limited by Q3 which turns when the current reaches about 10mA, to shunt base current away from Q2. The three resistor values not given in the circuit are dependent on the supply voltage and can be calculated from the following simple equations: R1(kΩ) = V(DC)/0.02 = 560kΩ for 12V DC R2(kΩ) = V(DC)/2 = 5.6kΩ for 12V DC R3(Ω) = V(DC)/0.02 = 560Ω for 12V DC R3 should be included for volta...

12V Powered 12V Lead Acid Battery Charger with Indicator

Image
Some of you might wonder why a charger is needed at all, to charge a 12 Volt battery from a 12 Volt source! Well, firstly the “12 Volt” source will typically vary anywhere from 11 Volt to 15 Volt, and then a battery needs a controlled charge current and voltage, which cannot result from connecting it directly to a voltage source. The charger described here is intended for charging small 12 Volt lead acid batteries, such as the gelled or AGM batteries of capacities between about 2 and 10 Ah, using a car’s electrical system as power source, regardless of whether the car engine is running or not. I built this charger many years ago, I think I was still in school back then. On request of a reader of my web site, I’m publishing it now, despite being a rather crude circuit. 12V Powered 12V Lead Acid Battery Charger with Indicator It works, it is uncritical to build, and uses only easy-to-find parts, so it has something in its favor. The downside is mainly the low efficiency: This charger was...

Numeric Water Level Indicator Circuit Diagram

Image
This is a simple Numeric Water-Level Indicator Circuit Diagram. 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 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. Due to high input impedance, IC1 senses water in the container from its nine input terminals. The inputs are connected to +5V via 560-kilo-ohm resistors. The ground terminal of the sensor must be kept at the bottom of the container (tank). IC 74HC147 has nine active-low inputs and converts the active input into active-low BCD output. The input L-9 has the highest priority. The outputs of IC1 (A, B, C and D) ...

Supply Voltage Indicator

Image
A novel supply voltage monitor which uses a LED to show the status of a power supply. This simple and slightly odd circuit can clearly show the level of the supply voltage (in a larger device): as long as the indicator has good 12 volts at its input, LED1 gives steady, uninterrupted (for the naked eye) yellow light. If the input voltage falls below 11 V, LED1 will start to blink and the blinking will just get slower and slower if the voltage drops further - giving very clear and intuitive representation of the supply's status. The blinking will stop and LED1 will finally go out at a little below 9 volts. On the other hand, if the input voltage rises to 13 V, LED2 will start to glow, getting at almost full power at 14 V. The characteristic voltages can be adjusted primarily by adjusting the values of R1 and R4. The base-emitter diode of T2 basically just stands in for a zener diode.

It can be powered from a 12V-15V regulated power supply.

The circuit of battery indicator consists of a 741 operational amplifier configured as a voltage comparator, using a zener diode as a reference voltage pattern. This circuit can be adapted to work with battery between 6 and 18 V, and the only changes required would be a lower Zener voltage and current limit resistor in the case of low voltage below 9 V and greater for higher voltages.The adjustment is made with R2 which can be a trim pot.

Fastest Finger First Indicator Circuit Diagram . Quiz-type game shows are increasingly becoming popular on tale vision these days. In such games, fastest finger first indicators (FFFIs) are used to test the player’s reaction time. The player’s designated number is dis played with an audio alarm when the player presses his entry button. The circuit presented here determines as to which of the four contestants first pressed the button and locks out the remaining three entries. Simultaneously, an audio alarm and the correct decimal number display of the corresponding contestant are activated.  Fastest Finger First Indicator Circuit Diagram   When a contestant presses his switch, the corresponding output of latch IC2 (7475) changes its logic state from 1 to 0.
