As a source of a powerful sound signal in modern security systems, as a rule, quite expensive piezo sirens are used. But a powerful sound emitter can also be built from publicly available elements.

Schematic diagram of a two-tone siren is shown in fig. 1. Acoustic radiator BA1 - low-resistance (Rн=4...8 Ohm), rather powerful (4...5 W) dynamic head, - is included in the diagonal of the bridge formed by transistors VT1... VT4. Two tone RC generators (DD1.2, DD3.2 and DD1.3, DD2.1) and one switching (DD1.1, DD3.1) generate an alarm signal. With such ratings in time-setting RC-chains, the frequencies of tone generators will be close to 1 kHz and 500 Hz, respectively, and their change will occur at a frequency of about 2 Hz.


Rice. 1. Two-tone "siren" (click to enlarge)

Other elements of the DD2 and DD3 microcircuits are included in the transistor control unit. If a low-level voltage (~0 V) is applied to the "Signal" input, then all transistors go into the closed state, and the generators turn off; if it is high (close to +Upit - siren supply voltage), then the switching generator is switched on and, depending on its phase, one of the tonal ones. And at the output of the DD2.2 element, a meander of one frequency or another appears.

In this mode, transistors VT1 ... VT4 open alternately in pairs - either VT1 and VT4, or VT2 and VT3. Since they operate in the key mode, the voltage amplitude at the load BA1 will be close to Upit-2Uke us, where Uke us is the saturation voltage of the transistor (in transistors KT972 and KT973 Uke us 1 V).

The frequencies of tone generators can, of course, be different: by changing the values ​​of R5, C2 and R8, C3, you can "move" them over a very wide range. It is advisable to set one of the tone generators to the frequency of the mechanical resonance of the acoustic system (and both, if it has a two-peak resonance). By varying the values ​​of R3 and C1, it is possible to change the rate of change of tonal bursts.

The current consumed by the "siren" in silent mode, Ipotr.dezh <2 uA. In the alarm mode, it depends on the supply voltage and load resistance: Icont.tr \u2d (Upit -XNUMXUke us) / Rn, where Icont.tr - in amperes, Upit - in volts, Rn - ohms.

The "siren" supply voltage may be higher than specified, but not higher than that allowed for microcircuits (for microcircuits of the K561 series Upit max = 15 V). In such cases, it is recommended to put transistors on good heat sinks and use dynamic heads with Rні8 Ohm.

If such or similar transistors (forming powerful complementary pairs and having a current gain h21e> 750) cannot be obtained, then the block of transistor switches can be made as shown in Fig. 2. Transistors of the KT315 (VT1, VT4) and KT361 (VT5, VT8) series can be with letter indices B, G, E.


Rice. 2. Output stage "siren" (option)

It is recommended to place the dynamic head, power source (for example, a 10NKN-3,5 battery or sealed acid battery), the electronic part of the siren in order to minimize losses in the connecting wires (with extended communications, their resistance can be comparable to Rn). In addition, placed in a strong metal case, fixed in a hard-to-reach place, such a siren will also be "criminal-resistant".

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. ... >>

Car recorder with e-wallet 16.02.2014

Manufacturers of the Automatic Link device connected to the ODB-II connector, which up to this point worked as an on-board "recorder" with the function of displaying technological information on the smartphone screen, have now decided to turn it into a mobile wallet using Apple iBeacon technology.

The American company Automatic Labs is developing a compact sensor connected to the technological connector of the car (OBD-II, On-board diagnostic). The device monitors vehicle speed, acceleration and braking intensity, fuel consumption, forming an overall picture of the driving style.

In addition to collecting technological information, the "recorder" can transmit them wirelessly (Bluetooth 4.0) to a mobile device. The mobile application displays information on the current fuel consumption, the cost of fuel used, reports on previous trips, as well as data on malfunctions and advice on how to fix them. In addition, this device is able to independently call rescue services during an accident and find a car lost in a parking lot.

With the advent of iBeacon support over the same Bluetooth 4.0, a car gadget can use this Apple technology to communicate with nearby other iOS devices. For example, to receive a detailed description of the product and its cost in stores. So far, only a few American retail chains support iBeacon.

A new version of the Automatic Link firmware should turn the car into a mobile wallet in the future. For example, the technology can automatically, without leaving the car, pay for parking, car washes and car workshops, fuel at gas stations, entry to toll road sections, and much more. To do this, each user of Automatic Link will have their own account with a linked credit card, the developers explain.

Now the device is available in the online store of the American company for $100. The gadget requires an application that can be downloaded from the App Store. An Android version is expected in the future.
