Notes:

  • The output power indicated by each LED must be doubled when 4 Ohms loads are driven.
  • The circuit can be adapted to suit less powerful amplifiers by reducing the number of LEDs and related voltage dividers.
  • LEDs of any dimension can be used, but rectangular shaped devices will be more suitable to be compacted in bars or columns.
  • For a stereo amplifier, two identical circuits are required.

Zone Alarm System

electronic circuit diagram


This is the circuit of alarm system with 5 independent zones. Suitable for a small office or home environment. It uses just 3 CMOS IC's and features a timed entry / exit zone, 4 immediate zones and a panic button. There are indicators for each zone a "system armed" indicator.

Zone 1 is a timed zone which must be used as the entry and exit point of the building. Zones 2 - 5 are immediate zones, which will trigger the alarm with no delay. Some RF immunity is provided for long wiring runs by the input capacitors, C1-C5. C7 and R14 also form a transient suppresser. The key switch acts as the Set/Unset and Reset switch. For good security this should be the metal type with a key.

Circuit works:
At switch on, C6 will charge via R11, this acts as the exit delay and is set to around 30 seconds. This can be altered by varying either C6 or R11. Once the timing period has elapsed, LED6 will light, meaning the system is armed. LED6 may be mounted externally (at the bell box for example) and provides visual indication that the system has set. Once set any contact that opens will trigger the alarm, including Zone 1. To prevent triggering the alarm on entry to the building, the concealed re-entry switch must be operated. This will discharge C6 and start the entry timer. The re-entry switch could be a concealed reed switch, located anywhere in a door frame, but invisible to the eye. The panic switch, when pressed, will trigger the alarm when set. Relay contacts RLA1 provide the latch, RLA2 operate the siren or buzzer.

Simple Electronic Buzzer

Simple Electronic Buzzer circuit diagram

This is a simple electronic buzzer circuit diagram. Cheap and easy to build.
The 555 is used as astable multivibrator operating at about 1kHz and produces a shrill noise when switched on. The frequency can be adjusted by varying the 10K resistor. You may change the 10K resistor with variable resistor.

Variable Power Supply with L200

This is adjustable power supply schematic diagram with IC L200 for its power regulation.

Variable Power Supply with L200 circuit diagram


Voltage output is controlled by 10K variable resistor. Output voltage range value will be about 3 to 15 volts, and current range is about 10mA minimum and 2 amp maximum. Reaching the current limit will reduce the output voltage to zero.
