Reflection Light Barrier with Delay

Image
This circuit can be used to check, for example, whether the door of a refrigerator has been properly closed. An LED sends out a beam of light, which, if the door is closed, is reflected. An optical sensor (CNY70) then detects the amount of light. If the sensor does not receive the right amount of light, the buzzer will sound after about a minute. When the door is closed (and the CNY70 receives enough light again), the buzzer turns off. Circuit diagram: Reflection Light Barrier with Delay Circuit Diagram The power supply for the circuit requires about 12 mA at 12 V. Potentiometer P1 adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor works reliably from a distance of one centimetre. If the current through the LED is increased, the distance can be increased a little. The delay can be adjusted with C3. C4 provides extra filtering for the reference voltage. Thebuzzer would otherwise switch on with a ‘chirping’ sound. The well-known Ne555 is used to drive the buzzer. The buzzer is driven w...

Crystal Controlled Reflection Oscillator Circuit Diagram

How to build a Crystal-controlled-reflection-oscillator circuit diagram . This is a simple crystal controlled reflection oscillator circuit, this unit is easily tunable and stable, consumes little power, and costs less than other types of oscillators tlmt operate at the same frequencies. This unusual combination of features is made possible by a design concept that includes operation of the transistor well beyond the 3 dB frequency of its current-versus- frequency curve.   Crystal Controlled Reflection Oscillator Circuit Diagram The concept takes advantage of newly available crystals that resonate at frequencies up to about 1 GHz.The emitter of transistor Q is connected with variable capacitor Cl and series-resonant crystal X. The emitter is also connected to ground through bias resistor Rl. The base is connected to the parallel combination of inductor L and capacitor C3 through DE-blocking capacitor and C4 and is forward biased with respect to the emitter by resistors R3 and...
