Fire alarm circuit


Fire alarm circuit.


When there is a fire breakout in the room the temperature increases. This ultra compact and low cost fire alarm senses fire breakout based on this fact.

Transistor BC177 (Q1) is used as the fire sensor here. When the temperature increases the leakage current of this transistor also increases. The circuit is designed so that when there is an increase in the leakage current of Q1, transistor Q2 will get biased. As a result when there is a fire breakout the transistor Q2 will be on. The emitter of Q2 (BC 108) is connected to the base of Q3(AC 128). So when Q2 is ON Q3 will be also ON. The transistor Q3 drives the relay which is used to drive the load ie,light,bell,horn etc as an indication of the fire. The diode D1 is used as a free wheeling diode to protect it from back EMF generated when relay is switched.

Notes.

*  The Preset R1 can be used to desired temperature level for setting the alarm ON.
*  This is not a latching alarm,that is;when the temperature in the vicinity of the sensor decreases below the   set point the alarm stops.
*  The circuit can be powered using a 9V battery or a 9V battery eliminator.
*  All capacitors are electrolytic and must be rated at least 10V.
*  The load can be connected through the C,NC,NO points of the relay according to your need.
*  The calibration can be done using a soldering iron, and a thermo meter. Switch ON the power supply.Keep the tip of soldering iron near to the Q1. Same time also keep the thermometer close to it. When the temperature reaches your desired value adjust R1 so that relay gets ON.Done!

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Schematic Audio Amplifier with IC AN7102S

This Schematic use IC AN7102S , this is setereo amplifier and have output speaker 7,5 mW with impedance 32 Ohm . Supply need 1Volt to 3 Volt , wow this amplifier low voltage. You can use this amplifier on radio is use battery . With just one battery with voltage 1,5 Volt you can play this amplifier. See this Schematic below : Click to Enlarge Datasheet IC AN7102S Vcc                   =  1-3 V Pout                 = 2X 7,5 mW RL                    = 32 Ohm Ft                      = 20hz - 20Khz Icco                  = 7 mA Package         = DIP-18 Manufactered = MATSUSHITA
