This circuit is a high performance charger for gelled electrolyte lead-acid batteries. Charger quickly recharges battery and shuts off at full charge. Initially, charging current is limited to 2A. As the battery voltage rises, current to the battery.... -
In operation. the alarm circuit allows a 0-47 second time delay, as determined by the Rl/Cl combination, after the switch is armed to allow the vehicle"s motion sensor to settle down. This allows you time to get a bag of groceries out of the trunk and not.... -
See (a) for the timing information for the alarm circuit in (b). When leaving your vehicle, flip the arming switch and close the door to arm the device. Subsequent opening of an entrance triggers both timers. After the expiration of the entry delay timer,.... -
The ignition substitute provides a constant power source for the ignition coil. Its frequency, 0.5-1.0 kHz, is that used by an 8-cylinder engine with an idling speed of 650 RPM, and the unit provides a rapid spark at a 17% duty cycle, while staying within.... -
