Detector Wireless Electricity Circuit Diagram

Image
This is a Simple Detector Wireless Electricity Circuit Diagram . This is more of those circuits quite simple, but very useful, especially in the electrical area. This detector is an electric probe, which can also be used to detect the presence of high voltage on the wires and also as a touch switch, then the LED may be replaced with a relay to connect and disconnect a device (but only when something is detected).  The circuit is very simple and consists of only three transistors, 3 resistors, 1 LED and a 9V battery. He has a high gain by being in Darlington transistors, and the probe (copper strip) is a small piece of copper or a wire.  Detector Wireless Electricity Circuit Diagram

Proximity Detector

Image
Proximity Detector Circuit Diagram. This proximity detector is constructed using an infrared diode detector. Infrared detector can be used in various equipment such as burglar alarms, touch free proximity switches for turning on a light, and solenoid-controlled valves for operating a water tap. Briefly, the circuit consists of an infrared transmitter and an infra-red receiver (such as Siemens SFH506-38 used in TV sets).   The transmitter part consists of two 555 timers (IC1 and IC2) wired in astable mode, as shown in the figure, for driving an infrared LED. A burst output of 38 kHz, modulated at 100 Hz, is required for the infrared detector to sense the trans mission; hence the setup as shown is required.  To save power, the duty cycle of the 38kHz astable multivibrator is maintained at 10 per cent.  The receiver part has an infrared detector comprising IC 555 (IC3), wired for operation in monostable mode, followed by pnp transistor T1. Upon reception of infrared signals,...

Metal Detector Schematic Circuit Diagram

Metal Detector Schematic Circuit Diagram The ambit declared actuality is that of a metal detector. The opera- tion of the ambit is based on superheterodyning assumption which is frequently acclimated in superhet receivers. The ambit utilises two RF oscillators. The frequencies of both oscillators are anchored at 5.5 MHz. The aboriginal RF oscillator comprises transistor T1 (BF 494) and a 5.5MHz bowl clarify frequently acclimated in TV sound-IF section. The additional oscillator is a Colpitt�s oscillator realised with the advice of transistor T3 (BF494) and inductor L1 (whose architecture capacity follow) shunted by trimmer capacitor VC1. These two oscillators� frequencies (say Fx and Fy) are alloyed in the mixer transistor T2 (another BF 494) and the aberration or the exhausted abundance (Fx-Fy) achievement from beneficiary of transistor T2 is affiliated to detector date absolute diodes D1 and D2 (both OA 79). The achievement is a pulsating DC which is anesthetized through a low-pass c...

Invisible Broken Wire Detector

Image
Portable loads such as video cameras, halogen flood lights, electrical irons, hand drillers, grinders, and cutters are powered by connecting long 2- or 3-core cables to the mains plug. Due to prolonged usage, the power cord wires are subjected to mechanical strain and stress, which can lead to internal snapping of wires at any point. In such a case most people go for replacing the core/cable, as finding the exact location of a broken wire is difficult. In 3-core cables, it appears almost impossible to detect a broken wire and the point of break without physically disturbing all the three wires that are concealed in a PVC jacket. The circuit presented here can easily and quickly detect a broken/faulty wire and its breakage point in 1-core, 2-core, and 3-core cables without physically disturbing wires. It is built using hex inverter CMOS CD4069. Gates N3 and N4 are used as a pulse generator that oscillates at around 1000 Hz in audio range. The frequency is determined by timing components...

Water Level Controller Detector

Image
Water Level Controller Detector . In most houses, water is first stored in an underground tank (UGT) and from there it is pumped up to the overhead tank (OHT) located on the roof. People generally switch on the pump when their taps go dry and switch off the pump when the overhead tank starts overflowing. This results in the unnecessary wastage and sometimes non-availability of water in the case of emergency.  The simple circuit presented here makes this system automatic, i.e. it switches on the pump when the water level in the overhead tank goes low and switches it off as soon as the water level reaches a pre-determined level. It also prevents ‘dry run’ of the pump in case the level in the underground tank goes below the suction level.    In the figure, the common probes connecting the underground tank and the overhead tank to +9V supply are marked ‘C’. The other probe in underground tank, which is slightly above the ‘dry run’ level, is marked ‘S’. The low-level and high-...

AC Line Current Detector Circuit Diagram

Image
This circuit diagram will detect AC line currents of about 250 mA or more without making any electrical connections to the line. Current is detected by passing one of the AC lines through an inductive pickup (L1) made with a 1 inch diameter U-bolt wound with 800 turns of #30 - #35 magnet wire. The pickup could be made from other iron type rings or transformer cores that allows enough space to pass one of the AC lines through the center. Only one of the current carrying lines, either the line or the neutral should be put through the center of the pickup to avoid the fields cancelling. I tested the circuit using a 2 wire extension cord which I had separated the twin wires a small distance with an exacto knife to allow the U-bolt to encircle only one wire. AC Line Current Detector Circuit Diagram The magnetic pickup (U-bolt) produces about 4 millivolts peak for a AC line current of 250 mA, or AC load of around 30 watts. The signal from the pickup is raised about 200 times at the outpu...

Schematic Frost Detector Temperature Sensor

Image
To apperceive whether it is freezing you alone charge to admeasurement the temperature. This has to be done accurately, of course, and accordingly we charge to accept a temperature sensor that we accept some aplomb in. The best has afresh been fabricated for a blazon that we accept already acclimated in abounding antecedent Elektor circuits, the LM35CZ (-40 to 110 °C). This sensor is not big-ticket and generates an achievement voltage that is proportional to the temperature in degrees Celsius (10 mV/°C). Sensor An LM35 is commonly powered from a single-ended ability accumulation and 0 °C corresponds to an achievement voltage of 0 V. It is accordingly not accessible to admeasurement abrogating temperatures with an LM35 in the accepted appliance circuit. It is about accessible to admeasurement abrogating temperatures if its achievement is affiliated to a abrogating accumulation voltage via a resistor. There needs to be a accepted of 50 μA through this resistor (R2 in the schematic). We a...

Snail Mail Detector

Image
Since his letter-box is outdoors  and quite some way from the  house, the author was looking  for a simple means of knowing if  the postman had been without  having to go outside (contrary  to popular belief, the weather  isn’t always fine in the South of  France). Circuits for this kind of  ‘remote detection’ come up regularly, but always involve running cables between the letter- box and the detection circuit in  the house. Seeking to avoid running any extra cables, the author  had the idea of using the existing cables going to the doorbell,  conveniently located adjacent to  his letter-box.   The letter-box has two doors:  one  on  the  street  side  for  the  postman, and one on the gar-den side for collecting the post.  A  micro switch  is  fitted  to  the  street-side door, to light an indicator in the house showing that  the pos...

Lightning Detector

Image
Here is a VLF receiver tuned to 300 kHz designed to detect the crackle of approaching lightning. A bright lamp flashes in sychrony with the lightning bolts indicating the proximity and intensity of the storm. Figure 1 shows the simple receiver which consists of a tuned amplifier driving a modified flasher circuit. The flasher is biased to not flash until a burst of RF energy, amplified by the 2N3904, is applied to the base of the 2N4403. The receiver standby current is about 350 microamps which is nothing at all to a couple of D cells, hardly denting the shelf life. Of course, the stormier it gets, the shorter the battery life.    Circuit diagram For best effect, mount the lamp in an old-fashioned holder with an extra-large colored glass lense. Or construct your own fixture with a plate of textured colored glass behind a panel painted with black-crackle paint. Watch a few old science fiction movies for other ideas. A totally different approach is to mount the circuit in an e...

Laser Level Detector

Image
Rotating laser levels, which are very handy  for setting objects in a room or garden at the  same height, are available at prices of a few  dozen pounds. At relatively large distances  and for outdoor use, the light from the rotating laser beam is often not easy to see, and  the laser beam detector described here can  be useful in such situations. The detector  works well at distances up to 50 metres (150  feet) and consists entirely of standard components. The detector is housed in a plastic case  that can be fixed to an object (such as a post  or a beam). It has three LEDs and a beeper that  indicate whether the object should be raised  or lowered. LEDs with a transparent package and integrated lens (round surface) are used as sensors. The top and bottom detection zones  each have five LEDs and two opamps (IC1a &  IC1b or IC1c & IC1d), which drive the ‘Move  Up’ and ‘Move Down’ indicator LEDs. The middle sensor LED drives the ‘OK’ indicator LED  via two opamps (IC2a & IC...
