This temperature monitor alarm circuit continuosly monitors the room temperature and beeps when the temperature drops below 20 degrees centigrade. This capability to constantly monitor the room temperature can help lower your air-conditioning costs by reminding you to turn off your airconditioner. An optical display like a thermometer has a limite

d effectivity since it can be easily overlooked. A tone signal on the other hand is not easy to ignore. Let us look at the temperature alarm schematic. R4 is the temperature sensor KTY10. Other temperature dependent resistor types can also be used in tis place. This sensor is connected to a resistance-bridge circuit and supplied with 5 volts. The IC1 CA3130 works as a bridge amplifier. As long as the temperature is higher than the value preset by P1 and P2, the output of IC1 is 0 volt. Once the temperature drops below the preset value, the plus input of IC1 receives more current and its output level swings to 5 volts, thus switching the oscillator gate U1 on. This gate creates a pulse of aroung 0. 2 seconds. This pulse in turn switches on the oscillator gate U3. The tone signal is generated by a piezo-electric crystal which is driven by gate U4. Thre frequency of the tone signal is aroung 5 kHz. The current consumption is 2 mA which allows the circuit to be powered by a simple power supply. The sensor must be installed outside the housing so that is will not be falsely triggered by the heat of the transformer. To align the circuit, points A and B must be shorten temporarily so that the alarm beeps. Potentiometer P3 controls the volume of the beep. The chosen room temperature can be roughly tuned by P1. P2 is used as a fine tuner. In normal operation, remove the short between points A and B.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
