Cut rate Motorbike Alarm


Motorbikes are often a target for thieves.  Here is an alarm that’s loud, cheap and simple  to build. Arming and disarming the alarm is  done with a hidden switch, S1. This tiny circuit  does not unduly load the battery, as it draws  very little current in the standby condition. To activate the alarm, turn or press the hid-den switch S1 to the ‘on’ position. If anyone  attempts to start the motorbike, +12 volts  from the ignition switch (connected to ‘B’)  causes transistor T1 to conduct and switch on  T2. The siren (LS1) then sounds for about 20  seconds, the period being determined by FET  T3 wired as a monostable timer. The siren is  a high-power ready-made piezo horn of the  self-oscillating type.

Another piezoelectric component in the cir-cuit has a different purpose — Bz1 detects  attempts to tamper with the vehicle, or move  it without starting the engine. The piezo trans-ducer element should be mounted in such a  way as to faithfully pick up vibration from the  motorbike frame due to tampering.

 

One set of contacts on relay RE1 is used to  effectively disconnect the ignition coil to pre-vent the bike from functioning when some-one tries to steal it. Usually, there is a wire  running from the alternator (point A) to the  ignition coil (TR1), which has to be routed  through the N/C (normally closed) contact  of the relay. The hidden switch S1 is preferably a miniature type or its electrical equivalent. To deactivate the alarm, the hidden  switch should be flipped to the ‘off’ position  to disable the movement sensor and the siren driver/timer circuit when the ignition key is  turned… by the lawful owner!

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
