Fridge Door Open Alarm Circuit Project

It beeps if the fridge door is left open for too long or hasn't closed properly, to stop food from spoiling. There are lots of other uses as well. A refrigerator or freezer door that is left open or ajar may cause the food contents to spoil. In some cases, the internal temperature of the fridge or freezer will be maintained if the refrigeration system can cope with the open door. Complete project: But without the door sealing in the cold air, it may be a losing battle. Running costs will certainly rise. Typically, refrigerators and freezers are in constant use in the summer months and so it is important to ensure that the door is not open for any longer than is necessary. Otherwise the fridge or freezer will not be able to keep the contents cool. And it will cost more money to needlessly run the fridge’s compressor in a futile effort to keep the contents cool. Circuit looks like: Even the most diligent fridge user may sometimes leave the door of the fridge or freezer open without r...

Door Opener Alarm Circuit Diagram

The door opener derives its power from a 9-V battery. A momentary-contact switch, 52, is provided in the event that manual opening and closing is required. Relay Kl is a 9-V type and relay K2 is a 117`Vac latching-type, which automatically latches with the first burst of current and opens on the second burst. Door Opener Alarm Circuit Diagram The gate lead of the LASCR is not used; a light source triggers the LASCR unit into conduction, causing current to flow in the coil of the relay. That, in turn, causes Kl`s contacts to close, thereby energizing K2 (closing its contacts), and operating the garage door motor.
