A 4 Digit Keypad Controller Switch Circuit

A 4-Digit Keypad Controller Switch Circuit This is a universal version of the Four-Digit Alarm Keypad . I have modified the design to free up the relay contacts. This allows the circuit to operate as a general-purpose switch. It also means that it can be used to control all of my Alarm Circuits. I've used a SPCO/SPDT relay - but you can use a multi-pole relay if you wish. The relay is energized by pressing a single key. Choose the key you want to use - and connect it to terminal "E". Choose the four keys you want to use to de-energize the relay - and connect them to "A B C & D". Wire the common to R1 and all the remaining keys to "F". The Circuit is easy to use. When you press "E" - current through D2 & R9 turns Q6 on - and energizes the relay. The two transistors - Q5 & Q6 - form a "Complementary Latch". So - when you release the key - the relay will remain energized. To de-energize the relay - you need to press keys ...

Temperature Detector For Fan Controller

The fan controller circuit for the Titan 2000 and other AF heavy-duty power amplifiers, has an output that sets a voltage if the fan controller reaches the end of its range. Since the controller responds to temperature, this signal is seen by the amplifier protection circuitry as an over temperature indication. The disadvantage of this output is that the maximum voltage for the fans is not constant, but depends on the load (number of fans, defective fans) and the mains voltage. This variation is caused by the fact that the supply voltage for the output stage is taken directly from the filtered transformer voltage. If the fans should fail, for example, the maximum temperature limit would lie at a considerably higher level than the desired value. The accompanying circuit, which compares the magnitude of the fan voltage to a fixed reference value, has been developed to allow the maximum temperature to be reliably detected. This circuit is tailored for 12-V fans. The reference voltage is ge...

Pump Controller For Solar Hot Water System

This circuit optimises the operation of a solar hot water system. When the water in the solar collector is hotter than the storage tank, the pump runs. The circuit comprises two LM335Z temperature sensors, a comparator and Mosfet. Sensor 1 connects to the solar collector panel while Sensor 2 connects to the hot water panel. Each sensor includes a trimpot to allow adjustment of the output level. In practice, VR1 and VR2 are adjusted so that both Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 have the same output voltage when they are at the same temperature. The Sensor outputs are monitored using comparator IC1. When Sensor 1 produces a higher voltage than Sensor 2, which means that sensor 1 is at a higher temperature, pin 1 of IC1 goes high and drives the gate of Mosfet Q1. This in turn drives the pump motor. IC1 includes hysteresis so that the output does not oscillate when both sensors are producing a similar voltage. Hysteresis comprises the 1MO feedback resistor between output pin 1 and non-inverting input...

Under floor Heating Controller Circuit Diagram

Central heating systems that include under-floor heating of ten leave the extra pump used to pump the water through the under-floor pipes running continuously. The reason for this is that the central heating controller doesn’t have a separate control circuit and output for the underfloor heating pump. Under-floor Heating Controller Circuit Diagram This circuit was designed to control the under-floor heating pump independently or via the switch in the living room thermostat. The design has been made very flexible and can be connected in four different ways: Temperature sensor 1 is connected to the inlet pipe of the under floor heating, Temperature sensor 2 is shor ted. The pump is turned on when the inlet pipe becomes warm enough. When the temperature of the inlet pipe drops below the trigger temperature the pump will continue to run for 20 minutes. Temperature sensor 1 is connected to the inlet pipe of the underfloor heating, Temperature sensor 2 is connected to the outlet pipe. This...

DC Motor Controller Circuit with NE555

A simple DC motor controller circuit with NE555 is shown here. several DC motor speed control circuits are revealed here however this can be the first one using NE555 timer IC. additionally to controlling the motors speed its direction of rotation will be also modified using this circuit. A PWM circuit primarily based on timer NE555 is that the heart of this circuit. NE555 is wired as an astable multivibrator whose duty cycle will be adjusted by varying the POT R1. The output of IC1 is coupled to the base of transistor Q1 that drives the motor according to the PWM signal available at its base. Higher the duty cycle the typical voltage across motor will be high which ends in higher motor speed and vice versa. modification of DC motor direction is attained using the DPDT switch S1 that on application simply toggles the polarity applied to the motor.

Intelligent Water Pump Controller with Water level Display

Most of the circuits for multi-level indication/control of water in tanks employ a bunch of wires running between the circuit and the overhead tank, which accounts for almost half the cost of the entire project. Here is an intelligent scanned water-level indicator-cum-pump controller circuit (Fig. 1) that utilises just four wires to the overhead tank to indicate nine different levels. The connection arrangement for the overhead tank (OHT) and the underground tank (UGT) is shown in Fig. 2. Two wires from the circuit in Fig. 1 run to the underground/ground-level tank (to output line K and return line J, respectively) to check the availability of water in the tank before operating the pump, thereby guarding the pump against the damage due to dry running. Fig. 1: Intelligent water-level indicator-cum-water pump controller The scanning section employs an NE555 timer (IC1) wired as an astable multivibrator to oscillate at around 1 kHz. The output of NE555 is connected to CLK inputs of two CD...

Glow Plug Controller

In diesel engines, the air in the  cylinders is not hot enough to  ignite the fuel under cold conditions.  Therefore each cylinder of these  engines is fitted with an electric heater  known as ‘glow plug.’ A control circuit  is necessary to optimise the functioning  of glow plugs. It raises the air temperature  inside the engine cylinder for  quick and reliable starting, extended  battery life and reduced diesel consumption. The glow plug controller (Fig. 1)  uses a simple timer circuit built around  MOSFET T1 for reliability and simplicity.  Momentary pushing of switch S2  charges capacitor C1 rapidly via resistor  R1. When the voltage on capacitor C 1 exceeds the threshold voltage of  the gate (G) of MOSFET T1, it starts  charging reservoir capacitor C2 and  simultaneously energises relay RL1.  MOSFET T1 remains conducting as  long as the voltage on C1 is greater  than the threshol...

Dual High Side Switch Controller

Dual High Side Switch Controller Circuit diagram : Dual High Side Switch Controller Circuit Diagram One of the most frequent uses of n-channel MOSFET’s is as a voltage controlled switch. To ensure that the MOSFET delivers the full supply voltage to the load it is necessary for the gate voltage to be a few volts above the supply voltage level. This can be a problem if no other suitable higher volt-age sources are available for use elsewhere in the circuit. The LTC 1982 dual high-side switch controller from Lin-ear Technology (www.linear-tech.com) solves this problem by incorporating a voltage tripler circuit in the gate driver stage. The gate voltage is limited to +7.5 V which is 2.0 V above the IC’s maximum operating voltage. It can directly drive the gate of logic-level MOSFET with a VGS(th) from 1.0 V to 2.0 V. A suitable n-channel logic level MOSFET would be the BSP 295. This device can switch up to 1.5 A and is available in an SOT 233 SMD package.

Water Level Controller Detector Circuit Diagram

In most houses, water is first stored in an underground tank (UGT) and from there it is pumped up to the overhead tank (OHT) located on the roof. People generally switch on the pump when their taps go dry and switch off the pump when the overhead tank starts overflowing. This results in the unnecessary wastage and sometimes non-availability of water in the case of emergency.  The simple circuit presented here makes this system automatic, i.e. it switches on the pump when the water level in the overhead tank goes low and switches it off as soon as the water level reaches a pre-determined level. It also prevents ‘dry run’ of the pump in case the level in the underground tank goes below the suction level.    In the figure, the common probes connecting the underground tank and the overhead tank to +9V supply are marked ‘C’. The other probe in underground tank, which is slightly above the ‘dry run’ level, is marked ‘S’. The low-level and high-level probes in the overhead tank ...
