Discrete Sliding Tone (Frequency Ramp) Doorbell Circuit

Here’s a circuit for doorbell circuit produces a low tone that will slide up to higher frequency. The equivalent total resistance connected between the base of Q1 and ground (Rbg), and coupling capacitor C1 determines the AF oscillator’s frequency. The resistance (Rbg) is equal to (R2+R1)R3. This is the figure of the circuit;

The R2 is used to set the initial bias condition, adjusted to produce a pleasant low starting frequency doorbell tone. D1 will start to conduct when Capacitor C3 charge through R6 until it reaches D1 bias voltage level. Then the value of Rbg is paralleled by R4 and D1, and R5-D2-D3, and the values of diode’s equivalent resistance is gradually decreased as the C3 voltage ramp up.  This decreasing resistance value make the output tone slides up in frequency.  Two different diode path is provided to extend the linear area of diode conduction transition slope. With two path with different biases, after the single diode path has saturated, the second path provide further linear increase at higher voltage level.

Magnetic Reed Switch Alarm Circuit

This circuit is kind for made to be an alarm, both for home and handbags. If it is installed for home it will placed on door or windows, and if it is installed for bags or handbags it will placed in the bag. This circuit consists of a small magnet and a reed switch. If the magnet looses its contact with the reed switch, SW1 opens, the circuit starts oscillating and the loudspeaker emits a loud alarm sound. So this circuit suitable for use as an anti-theft alarm. This is the figure of the circuit;

This circuit uses A complementary transistor-pair which is wired as a high efficiency oscillator, directly driving a small loudspeaker. Low part-count and 3V battery supply enable a very compact construction. The loudspeaker’s dimensions are limited only by the box that contain it. If the circuit is used as anti-bag-snatching, SW1 can be replaced by a 3.5mm mono Jack socket and the magnet by a 3.5mm. Do not supply this circuit with voltages exceeding 4.5V: it will not work and Q2 could be damaged.

LASER Door Alarm Circuit

This is a circuit for laser door alarm is based on the interruption of Laser beam. A low cost Laser pointer is used as the source of light beam. When somebody breaks the laser path, the alarm will be generated for few seconds. This is the figure of the circuit;

 

The laser door alarm circuit has two sections. The laser transmitter is a laser pointer readily available. It should be powered with 3 volt DC supply and fixed on one side of the door frame. The receiver has a Phototransistor at the front end. L14F1 NPN Darlington phototransistor is used as the laser sensor. IC1 is used as a voltage comparator with its inverting input tied to a potential divider R2-R3. So that the inverting input is kept at half supply voltage. As a result, output of comparator remains low. LED and Buzzer remain off in this state. When a person crosses the door, laser beam breaks and T1 cease to conduct. Collector voltage of T1 rises and voltage at pin 3 of comparator increases and its output becomes high. This activates LED and buzzer. Capacitor C1 keeps the base of T2 high for few seconds even after the output of IC1 becomes low again. C2 gives current to the buzzer for few seconds even after T2 turns off.

Water Level Alert Circuit

This is a circuit that can be use when the water contained into a recipient has reached the desired level. This circuit is work with based on 555 timer IC. This is the figure of the circuit.


C1, a 555 CMos timer chip, is wired as an astable multi vibrator whose operating frequency is set by C1, R1 and R2, plus the resistance presented by water across the probes. If the resistance across the probes is zero (i.e. probes shorted), the output frequency will be about 3Hz and the sounder will beep (or the LED will flash) about three times per second. As water usually presents a certain amount of resistance, the actual oscillation frequency will be lower: less than one beep/flash per second. As probes will be increasingly immersed in water, the resistance across them will decrease and the oscillation frequency of IC1 will increase. This means that a rough aural or visual indication of the level reached by water will be available. If a LED is chosen as the alert, C2, D1 and D2 must be added to the circuit in order to double the output voltage, thus allowing proper LED operation (see the rightmost part of the schematics). Interesting features of this circuit are 1.5V supply and ultra-low current consumption: 40µA in stand-by and 0.5mA in operation. This allows a single AAA alkaline cell to last several years and the saving of the power on/off switch.

Wailing Alarm Siren Circuit Using 555

This is a one kind of alarm that is produces warbling sound. The circuit use two 555 IC oscillator. In this alarm siren circuit, the first oscillator is employed to produce audio frequency. The second oscillator is employed to produce a modulating signal. This modulating signal make this alarm siren generates warbling sound. This is the figure of the circuit.


If you want try to change the capacitor C1, it will to change the warbling frequency. Using the component shown in the schematic diagram, this alarm siren gives 6 seconds warbling period. You can lower the C1 capacitor value to get higher warbling frequency, for example, you can try some values between 10 uF to 47 uF to get the suitable effect. This alarm siren circuit works with 5-15V power supply, but note that the 555 IC would suffer a significant self-heating when you use 12 volts or higher, and this may cause a shorter lifetime for the 555 IC chip.

Sun Up Alarm Circuit

This circuit can be used to provide a audible alarm for when the sun comes up or it can be used in a dark area and detect when a light comes on. It can also be used to detect a light beam, headlights etc. This circuit is a simple design circuit for alarm. This is the figure of the circuit.


The circuit works as follows. The photo transistor is very sensitive to light. (Any phototransistor will work fine) The sun shining on this device will provide a high to one of the NAND gates. This will cause another NAND gate to oscillate which will drive another gate to output a 100hz tone. The transistor provides drive for the speaker.

Electronic Doorbell Circuit Using Counter

This is a design for a door alarm circuit, but in this design using electronic system. This circuit uses a synthesized sound chip from Holtek, the HT-2811. This circuit reproduces the sound of a "ding-dong" chiming doorbell. Additionally, the circuit includes a CMOS 4026 counter display driver IC to count your visitors. This is the figure of the circuit.


The operating voltage must remain within 2.4 to 3.3 VDC and standby current is minimal. The reset switch zeroes the count, and the 7 segment display is a common cathode type. To save power consumption the display can be enabled or disabled with a switch as shown in the above diagram. The count will still be held in memory.

The envelope of the chime is set by the 220k, 330k, 3u3 and 4u7 resistors and capacitors. These values are the manufactures default values, but may be adjusted to alter the length and delay of the chime. The combination of the 2k2, 22k and 47u resistor capacitor network has a double function. It provides a de-bouncing circuit for the bell press and at the same time has a sufficiently long time constant. This ensures that anyone rapidly pressing the doorbell switch, only advances the count once. The 47u capacitor may be increased in size, if needed.

Touch Door Alarm Circuit Using 555 Timer IC

This is a design simple alarm that can be used to provide a audible alarm when someone touches the door knob or handle of your room. The door knob or handle must be made of metal for the circuit to work. The main chip in the circuit is a 555 timer which will be triggered if a hand comes close to or touches the door knob.


The circuit attaches to the door knob at the end of the 1 Mega ohm resistor. This is operation of the circuit. Once the timer is triggered the LED will light and the UJT will output a tone to the speaker. The timers will time out in 5 seconds. The sensitivity of the trigger can be changed by changing the 1 Mega ohm resistor to another value. The 5 second time out can be adjusted by changing the value of the resistor connected between pin 8 and pin 7. The output tone can be changed by changing the RC values on the base of the UJT.

Door Knock Alarm Circuit Using TLV3702

In the some building is need to using good security. For some example is using this design circuit. The door knock alarm is a simple design for the simple security for the house. This circuit is based by sensor piezoelectric wafer for detected the alarm. This is the figure of the circuit.


Operation of the circuit is the resistor R5 determines the knock sound sensitivity. The value shown should work in most cases. The box could be hard mounted to the door or suspended at about the middle of the door, by a string from the top of the door in such a way that the box rests against the door. It is suggested that the circuit be housed in a plastic box with a 9v battery holder.

Birdie Doorbell Circuit Using Transistor

This is a design circuit for a doorbell. This circuit can produces a sound like bird sound. This circuit controlled by transistor NPN. This is the figure of the circuit.


The operation of the circuit is beginning when P1 is of experimental value. Start with 220 Ohms or so and modify to suit your needs. The transistor is a general purpose kind and is not critical, almost any PNP type will work. L1 is a bell-transformer which is usually already present in the house. If you wish, you could use a battery instead of the bell transformer. Just hookup a 9-volt battery (or wall adapter)to points 'A' and 'B' (A=+) the diode (D1) is to protect the circuit from accidental polarity reversal and is optional, but required as a rectifier for use with the bell transformer.

The transistor T1 is a General Purpose PNP transistor and probably anything will work. L2 comes out of an old am transistor radio. They look like miniature transformers and are usually colored red or green. You have to fiddle with different transformers as the sound can vary depending on the value. The loudspeaker is a 8 Ohm type and must be larger than 200milli-Watt. I used a 2Watt type, but anything over 0.2W will do.
