Coil resistance 200-300 Ohm J1________Two ways output socket Sensor____Aluminium or copper thin sheet with the dimensions of a post-card, glued at the rear of the same (about 15x10.5 cm.) Thin screened cable Circuit Description: The purpose of this circuit is to animate shop-windows by means of a capacitive sensor placed behind a post-card-like banner. The card is placed against the glass inside the shop-window, and the visitor can activate the relay placing his hand on the card, from the outside. Especially suited for toy-shops, the circuit can activate model trains, small electric racing cars, lig...
