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

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.

Simple Preamplifier and High to Low impedance Converter Circuit Diagram

This is the Simple Preamplifier and High to Low impedance Converter Circuit Diagram. This circuit matches the very high impedance of ceramic cartridges, unity gain, and low impedance output.  Simple Preamplifier and High to Low impedance Converter Circuit Diagram By `loading` the cartridge with a 2M2 input resistance, the cartridge characteristics are such as to quite closely compensate for the RIAA recording curve. The output from this preamp may be fed to a level pot for mixing. Sourced By: Circuitsproject
