Alarm Digital Clock

The circuit diagram on behalf of the digital watch. 2x16 LCD is connected to the docks 2 of AT89C51. P1.0 of uC force provide the SCL (entertainment in installments clock) and P1.1 SDA (serial data) for I2C message.

Nearby are four switches connected to the uC, having the status of given away within the think. Function of the keys are same as unmistakable from their names.

at what time the power supply is switched on it willpower confer you the default appointment and schedule, but anon you can convert it to the desired appraise. taking into account setting as soon as, the backup battery will keep the timepiece ticking even after the power is not near.

Alarm Digital Clock Schematic

A trivial a propos I2C:
There are basically four most important conditions wearing I2C protocol.
1) Start Condition
2)block Condition
3)Data Validity
4)Acknowledgement

1)Start Condition:
while SCL is sharp and SDA H->L, force take place taken since start condition meant for the exchange of ideas.
2)Stop Condition:
once SCL is high and SDA L->H, will generate a stop condition.
3)Data Validity:
after SCL is high at hand must be refusal chande voguish SDA line lone followed by the data is legally binding, the data loose change be supposed to be there made only as SCL is low.
4)Acknowledgement:
taking into account transfer of lone byte of data the reciever has to acknowledge the sender pro the winning reception. for this the sender add up to the SDA line soaring and reciever pulls down the SDA low, which tells the sender so as to data has reached safely.

Long range Burglar Alarm Using Laser Torch

Laser torch-based burglar alarms normally work in darkness only. But this long-range photoelectric alarm can work reliably in daytime also to warn you against intruders in your big compounds, etc. The alarm comprises laser transmitter and receiver units, which are to be mounted on the opposite pillars of the entry gate. Whenever anyone enters to interrupt the transmitted laser beam falling on the receiver, the buzzer in the receiver schema sounds an alarm.

The range of this burglar alarm is around 30 metres, which means you can place the transmitter and the receiver up to 30 metres apart. Since the laser torch can transmit light up to a distance of 500 metres, this range can be increased by orienting the phototransistor sensor properly. To avoid false triggering by sunlight, mount the phototransistor sensor such that it doesn’t directly face sunlight.

Long-range Burglar Alarm Using Laser Torch

Fig. 1: Circuit of laser torch based transmitter

The transmitter schema is powered by 3V DC. The astable multivibrator built around timer 7555 (IC1) produces 5.25kHz frequency. CMOS version of timer 7555 is used for low-voltage operation. The body of the laser torch is connected to the emitter of npn transistor T1 and the spring-loaded lead protruding from inside the torch is connected to the ground.

The receiver schema is powered by 12V DC. It uses photoDarlington 2N5777 (T2) to sense the laser beam transmitted from the laser torch. The output beam signals from photoDarlington are given to the two-stage amplifier followed by switching schema, etc. As long as the laser beam falls on photoDarlington T2, relay RL1 remains un-energised and the buzzer does not sound. Also, LED1 doesn’t glow.

 Fig. 2: Receiver schema

When anyone interrupts the laser beam falling on photoDarlington T2, npn transistor T6 stops conducting and npn transistor T7 is driven into conduction. As a result, LED1 glows and relay RL1 energises to sound the buzzer for a few seconds (determined by the values of resistor R15 and capacitor C10). At the same time, the large indication load (230V AC alarm for louder sounds or any other device for momentary indication) also gets activated as it is connected to 230V AC mains via normally opened (N/O) contact of relay RL1.

Simple Noise Level Alarm Wiring diagram Schematic

Noise is a serious environmental problem that affects us in our daily life. There is scientific evidence supporting that noise exposure can cause hearing loss, hypertension, heart disease, annoyance, sleep disturbance and decreased performance in schools. Sound-level indicators like the one presented here can help address this problem. This sound-level indicator monitors the sound level and indicates through an LED when the level is above the preset value.



Circuit and working
Fig. 1 shows the schema of noise-level alarm. The schema is built around three BC550 npn general-purpose transistors (T1 through T3), electret microphone (MIC1), two LEDs (LED1 and LED2) and a few other components.

Simple Noise-Level Alarm Circuit Diagram


Simple
 Fig. 1: Circuit of noise-level alarm

The sound is captured by microphone MIC1 and amplified by first-stage high-gain transistor T1. Trimmer potentiometer VR1 is used to adjust the threshold level. the signal is amplified again with second-stage transistor T2. This amplified signal is rectified by diode D1 and the charge is stored in capacitor C10. Diode D1 should preferably be a small-signal Schottky diode such as BAT81, BAT82, BAT83, BAT85 or better. You can use 1N4148 and 1N914 also but the signal from the input should be stronger.

When the voltage across capacitor C10 is high enough, transistor T3 conducts and LED1 glows to indicate that the sound level is higher than the set level. LED2 indicates power supply is available to the schema.

Transistors T1, T2 and T3 should be high-gain type, such as BC550C, BC109C and BC108C. For powering the schema, you can use 6V from four AA-size batteries or 6V from a regulated wall adaptor.

Construction and testing
An actual-size, single-side PCB for the noise-level indicator is shown in Fig. 2 and its component layout in Fig. 3. After assembling the schema on a PCB, enclose it in a suitable case. Fix LED1, LED2 and potentiometer VR1 on the front panel.



Fig. 2: Actual-size, single-side PCB for noise-level indicator


Fig. 3: Component layout for the PCB


After connecting the 6V power supply to the schema, set the desired threshold of sound and adjust VR1 to the point where LED1 starts glowing. For that, switch on radio or TV set and set its volume to a level where you want the warning to start. Now adjust potentiometer VR1 to the point where LED1 starts glowing.

To test the schema for proper functioning, check correct input supply at TP1 with respect to TP0. LED2 also indicates the same. LED1 glows when the sound level is above threshold, which can be simulated with a radio or music system.

Motorbike Alarm

This simple to build alarm can be fitted in bikes to protect them from being stolen. The tiny schema can be hidden anywhere, without any complicated wiring. Virtually, it suits all bikes as long as they have a battery. It doesnt drain out the battery though as the standby current is zero. The hidden switch S1 can be a small push-to-on switch, or a reed switch with magnet, or any other similar simple arrangement. The schema is designed around a couple of low-voltage MOSFETs configured as monostable timers. Motorbike key S2 is an ignition switch, while switch S3 is a tilt switch. Motorbike key S2 provides power supply to the gate of MOSFET T2, when turned on. 
 
When you turn ignition off using key S2, you have approximately 15 seconds to get off the bike; this function is performed by resistor R6 to discharge capacitor C3. Thereafter, if anyone attempts to get on the bike or move it, the alarm sounds for approximately15 seconds and also disconnects the ignition schema. During parking, hidden switch S1 is normally open and does not allow triggering of mosfet T1. But when someone starts the motorbike through ignition switch S2, MOSFET T2 triggers through diode D1 and resistor R5. Relay RL1 (12V, 2C/O) energises to activate the alarm (built around IC1) as well as to disconnect the ignition coil from the schema. Disconnection of the ignition coil prevents generation of spark from the spark plug. Usually, there is a wire running from the alternator to the ignition coil, which has to be routed through one of the N/C1 contacts of relay RL1 as shown in Fig.1 Fig.2 shows the pin configurations of SCR BT169, MOSFET BS170 and transistor BC548.

Also, on disconnection of the coil, sound generator IC UM3561 (IC1) gets power supply through N/O2 contact of relay RL1. This drives the darlington pair built around T3 and T4 to produce the siren sound through loudspeaker LS1.  To start the vehicle, both hidden switch S1 and ignition key S2 should be switched on. Otherwise, the alarm will start sounding. Switching on S1 triggers SCR1, which, in turn, triggers MOSFET T1. MOSFET T1 is configured to disable MOSFET T2 from functioning. As a result, MOSFET T2 does not trigger and relay RL1 remains de-energised, alarm deactivated and ignition coil connected to the schema.  Connection to the ignition coil helps in generation of spark from the spark plug. Keeping hidden switch S1 accessible only to the owner prevents the bike from pillaging. Tilt switch S3 prevents attempt to move the vehicle without starting it. Glass-and metal-bodied versions of the switch offer bounce-free switching and quick break action even when tilted slowly. 
 
Unless otherwise stated, the angle by which the switch must be tilted to ensure the contact operation (operating angle), must be approximately 1.5 to 2 times the stated differential angle. The differential angle is the measure of the just closed position to the just open position. The tilt switch has characteristics like contacts make and break with vibration, return to the open state at rest, non-position sensitivity, inert gas and hermetic sealing for protection of contacts and tin-plated steel housing. If you find difficulty in getting the tilt switch, you may replace it with a reed switch (N/O) and a piece of magnet. The magnet and the reed switch should be mounted such that the contacts of the switch close when the bike stand is lifted up from rest.

Fire alarm with light sensor

Fire alarm can be made with a light sensor (LDR) as in the article with the title of Fire Alarm with this LDR sensor. Principles of fire detection Fire Alarm with LDR sensor is to detect the presence of smoke through the LDR. LDR in the series Fire Alarm does not stand alone in detecting a fire, but the LDR in the pair with the light shining on the LDR.


Hence, in the detected smoke from the fire then the intensity of light received by the LDR LDR decreases and eventually trigger an alarm system on a series of Fire Alarm with this LDR sensor. Part 2 that in the series of Fire Alarm with Sensor LDR are some of the sensors, tone generator, audio power.

Simple 555 Based Alarm Wiring diagram Schematic

This is a Simple 555 Based Alarm Circuit Diagram.The alarm schema has a single 555 oscillator/timer (Ul) performing double duty; serving both in the alarm-trigger schema arid the entry- delay schema. In this application, the trigger input of IJ1 at pin 2 is held high via Rl. A normally-closed sensor switch, SI, supplies a positive voltage to the junction of R2 and CI, and lights LED1. 

 Simple 555 Based Alarm Circuit Diagram


Simple


With both ends of CI tied high, there is no charge on CI. But when SI opens, CI (initially acting as a short) momentarily pulls pin 2 of Ul low, triggering the timed delay circle.At the beginning of the timing cycle, Ul produces a positive voltage at pin 3, which charges C4 to near the positive voltage at pin 3, which charges C4 to near the positive supply voltage.

Transistor Q1 is heavily biased on by R3, keeping its collector at near ground level. With Q1 on, SCRl`s gate is clamped to ground, holding it off. When the delay schema times out, pin 3 of Ul goes low and ties the positive end of C4 to ground. That turns Q1 off.When Q1 turns off, the voltage at the gate of SCR goes positive, turning on the SCR and sounding the alarm. The delay time is adjustable from just a few seconds (R6 set to its minimum resistance) to about one minute (R6 adjusted to its maximum resistance).
