Using Laser Torch Intruder Detector Circuit Diagram

Image
This is the Using Laser Torch Intruder Detector Circuit Diagram. intruder detector that uses an invisible laser beam to detect the intruder. The laser beam is produced using a 3V DC or 4.5V DC laser pointer or torch that is available in the market. The 3V DC or 4.5V DC power supply for the laser transmitter can also be given using a Bridger rectifier or full-wave rectifier. Fig. 1 shows the block diagram of the complete unit comprising the transmitter and receiver sections. The laser beam from the transmitter after reflection from various mirrors (M1 through M6, as shown in Fig. 1) is made to fall on the photo detector in the receiver circuit.  Fig. 1: Block diagram of intruder detector using laser torch Once the laser beam is positioned, the receiver circuit is powered by closing switch S. An alarm unit operating on 230V AC is connected to the relay RL in the receiver circuit. When an intruder interrupts the path of the beam or switches off the laser torch, the alarm unit becomes ...

Laser Level Detector

Rotating laser levels, which are very handy  for setting objects in a room or garden at the  same height, are available at prices of a few  dozen pounds. At relatively large distances  and for outdoor use, the light from the rotating laser beam is often not easy to see, and  the laser beam detector described here can  be useful in such situations. The detector  works well at distances up to 50 metres (150  feet) and consists entirely of standard components. The detector is housed in a plastic case  that can be fixed to an object (such as a post  or a beam). It has three LEDs and a beeper that  indicate whether the object should be raised  or lowered. . . LEDs with a transparent package and integrated lens (round surface) are used as sensors. The top and bottom detection zones  each have five LEDs and two opamps (IC1a &  IC1b or IC1c & IC1d), which drive the ‘Move  Up’ and ‘Move Down’ indicator LEDs. The mi...
