It creates brilliant flashes of white light and a loud, irritating sound from a metal horn buzzer. Transformer T1 is connected to Q1, R1, and R2 to formablocking oscillator. This createsaG-Vac signal on the primary ofT1. Because of T1's large ratio of turns frorn primary to secondary, the 6-Vac signal is stepped up to a level of over 200 Vac, which is then rectified by D1. The resultant dc voltage is applied to storage capacitor C1 and the neon relaxation oscillator made up of R3, C2, and L1. Each time C2 charges up to a sufficient level, it ionizes L1, which causes SCR Q2 to fire. The firing SCR causes the charge on C2 to be applied to the trigger coil. The trigger coil converts the 200 V into the 4000-V pulse that is needed to fire micro xenon strobe tube/reflector FT. The cycle repeats itself after the strobe tube flashes.   (View)

HIGH_OUTPUT_PULSED_TONE_LIGHT_ACTIVATED_ALARM

Published:2009/6/14 22:58:00 Author:May

This circuit can produce up to 1 W of audio power to drive a speaker or horn. When the CDS cell is struck by light, its resistance decreases thus activating NOR gate(a) thereby causing(a) and(b) to produce a low-frequency(10-Hz) square wave. This pulses the 1-kHz oscillator(c) and(d), caus-ing it to generate a pulsed 1-kHz tone at a 10-Hz rate. Q1 and Q2 amplify this signal. Q2(2N3055) drives the speaker.   (View)

When the CDS cell resistance decreases due to exposure to light, the output from IC2 cause the low-frequency osciLator(a) and(b) to generate a 10-Hz square wave, gating the 1000 Hz oscillator(c) and(d) on and off. This signal dri-ves an amplifier. R3 controls hysteresis, which reduces on-off triggering near the threshold set by R4.   (View)

555_BASED_ALARM

Published:2009/6/14 22:43:00 Author:May

The alarm circuit has a single 555。scillator/timer(U1)performing double duty；serving both in the alarm-trigger circuit and the entry-delay circuit. In this application，the trigger mput of U1 at ptn 2 iS held high via R1，A normally-closed sensor switch，S1，supplies a positive voltage to the junction of R2 and C1，and lights LED1．With both ends of C1 tied high，there is no charge on C1 But when S1 opens，C1（initially acting as a short） momentarny pulls pm 2 of U1 low， triggering the timed delay circle At the beginning of the timing cycle，U1 produces a positive voltage at put 3，which charges FAUito near the positive voltage at put 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 Qt on，SCR1’s gate lOclamped to ground，holding it off． When the delay circuit times out，pin 3 of U1 goes low and ties thepositive end of C4 to ground，That turns Q1 offWhen Q1 turns off，the voltage at the gate of SCR goes positive，turning on the SOP 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)   (View)

Whenever light reaches the CDS photo-electric cell, the alarm is silent. But when no light strikes the cell, transistor Q1 tums on, and the circuit emits a high-pitched tone.The alarm consists of a piezoelectric disk that oscillates at the fixed frequency of 3. 137 kHz, cre-ated by transistor Q2, capacitor C1 and C2, and resistors R1 through R3. Transistor Q1 is used as a switch. It is forward-biased on by R4; however, the CDS cell turns Q1 off when the light is strik-ing it.A CDS photo cell is made from cadmium sulfide, a semiconductor material that changes resis-tance when the light strikes it. The greater the amount of light, the lower the resistance. The low re-sistance conducts positive voltage to the base of pnp transistor Q1, keeping it turned off' when the light shines on the CDS cell. As soon as the light is removed, the CDS cell provides a resistance of over 100 kQ. That causes Q1 to tum on, allowing a positive voltage to reach the emitter lead of Q2, which then begins to oscillate. That then causes the piezoelectric element (transducer) to produce a loud signal.   (View)

AUDIO_ALARM

Published:2009/6/14 21:59:00 Author:May

In the circuit, UI amplifies the audio picked up by the condenser microphone. Resistor RI limits current, while R2 and R3 center the output of the amplifier to 1/2 B+ to allow a singleended sup-ply to be used. Diodes Dl and D2 rectify the output of U1, and C3 filters the resulting pulsing dc.Thus, a dc voltage that is proportional to the ambient sound level is produced.That voltage is presented to the noninverting input of U2. The inverting input is provided with a reference voltage of between 0 and 1/2 B+, which is set by R11.As long as the noise level is low enough to keep the voltage at pin 3lower than the voltage at pin 2, the output of U2 stays low (approximately 1V). That is enough to bias Q1 partially on. A voltage divider, formed by R8/RIO and Q1 (when it's partially on), prevents Q2 from turning on.When the noise level is high enough to bring the voltage at pin 3 higher than the voltage at pin 2, the output of U2 goes high. That turns Q1 fully on and drives Q2 into saturation. The piezo buzzer then sounds until the power is cut off.   (View)
