Simple and reliable alarm. Of the controls - only one switch. Intrusion sensors are ordinary switches that, when working with a circuit, fulfill their intended purpose, for example, buttons on doors. It is enough for one of them to close for a short time and the circuit will work. The scheme gives itself out only after 10 seconds. During this time, the owner can turn off the alarm, and the burglar think that there is none.

In armed mode, the device consumes a current that depends on the parameters of the parts used: in my case, it was not possible to measure it due to its small value.

This scheme was developed a very long time ago and was assembled from improvised parts.

Car alarm. Scheme

Operating principle

Elements SA2-SAn - penetration sensors. Diodes VD5-VDn serve to isolate the sensors if they are used for other purposes. In some cases, diodes can be excluded.

The supply voltage supplied from the closed sensor is supplied to VD1 through R1 C1. The R1 C1 circuit creates a short current pulse even if the sensor is left closed. Capacitor C2 prevents the alarm from triggering when SA1 is turned on.

On elements C4, R4, R5, VT2, K1, a multivibrator and an output key are assembled. The duration of K1 being in the on position is selected by the resistor R5, and in the off position - R4. The overall pulse frequency is set by C4. This part of the circuit requires careful tuning. I got a frequency of 2 Hz.

C3, VD3, VD4 - a node that generates an alarm response delay when the sensor is closed. This is necessary to turn off the alarm when the door is opened. The duration of the delay is set by the capacitor C3. Resistor R3 ensures that the capacitor discharges when the power is turned off.

The unit that turns off the alarm some time after the operation was not developed, since there are no false short circuits of sensors on the doors, trunk and hood of the car.

Details

The circuit consists of a small number of available parts. VD1 - any low-power trinistor, for example KU101. You just need to select C1 (increase if it does not work when the sensor is closed), R2 (decrease if it does not work, but increase if possible) and C2 (increase if it works when the power is turned on). Diodes - any low-power. Relay K1 - RES55A, however, it can switch the load with a current of not more than 1A. If you use a more powerful relay, then you will need to greatly increase the capacitances of the capacitors C3 and C4 (and, consequently, the dimensions of the device). Therefore, it is better to connect a powerful relay to the RES55A output. Transistors - also any, with the appropriate structure, and VT2 must withstand the relay turn-on current. SA1 - any small switch.

The types of capacitors C2, C3, C4 depend on the climatic conditions in which the alarm will be operated. For cold winters, it is better to choose them from the K53 series. If capacitors of the K50 series are used, then it is better to install the device in the passenger compartment. However, an experimental sample of the alarm on the K50 was installed under the hood and operated for more than two years (removed due to the transition to a new alarm system) in cold climatic conditions (the car was in the open), and not a single malfunction was noted.

Inclusion:

1. Turn on SA1 with the sensor closed (door open). In this position, the scheme can be indefinitely long.

2. Open the sensor (close the door).

Disconnect:

1. Open the door (sensor closes).

2. Within 10 sec. turn off SA1.

The printed circuit board for the device was not developed. The installation was carried out by a hinged method on a sheet of hard cardboard impregnated with varnish. A finished metal box was used for the case.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

HDDs are getting worse 03.02.2013

TrendFocus analysts studied the HDD market situation in the fourth quarter of 2012 and concluded that HDD sales in this quarter decreased compared to the third quarter. While retail and external drive sales were good, shipments of 2,5-inch models were noticeably slower.

Drives for desktop systems and consumer electronics in the three months from October to December were shipped 55 million units. Although the situation in this segment is more or less stable, TrendFocus experts predict a gradual decrease in shipments due to the migration of users from desktop PCs to laptops.

Notebook makers have largely run out of inventory, reducing shipments of 2,5-inch HDDs from 75 million to 67 million. Analysts said the release of Windows 8 failed to stimulate demand for laptops, and sales of ultrabooks continue to be "disappointing". Thin and light laptops will prevail only in a year or two, and the next recovery in the HDD market for laptops is not expected until the second half of 2013, when the traditional boom associated with the approach of the new school year should begin. The seasonal rise of the end of the year can take over from him.

In the corporate segment, sales slightly increased and amounted to 14 million units. By the end of 2012, manufacturers had almost used up the stocks accumulated in the first half of the year, but the unfavorable macroeconomic situation will constrain demand in the first half of 2013.

TrendFocus considers Western Digital to be the market leader with approximately 60 million drives shipped during the quarter, down only 3% from the third quarter. In the desktop segment, this manufacturer was able to increase shipments from 21 million units to 24 million units, but the supply of 2,5-inch drives, on the contrary, decreased from 32 million units to 29 million units. Deliveries in the corporate segment remained almost unchanged at 6,5 million drives. In second place - Seagate with 58 million drives (about the same as in the third quarter), in third - Toshiba with 18 million.
