VIBRATE

If you were in a situation when you need to put expensive stuff on display, but to ensure its safety without attracting the attention of people even when triggered the alarm. Or, for example, you need to Wake up early, but not to disturb the household. This is especially true when in the same room with their parents children sleep. For this fit, we offer vibrating alarm. You can make yourself using simple electric circuit and the miniature motor with an eccentric, taken from old, obsolete cell phone.

 

Presented in figure a simple circuit that can be repeated by anyone, even a schoolboy is a sensitive Autonomous alarm system with capacitive sensor. The device responds to an approaching person (or animal) to the antenna And at a distance of 1 m. Also it will react (turn on vibrating alarm in the anode circuit of the thyristor VS1) and when you touch someone to the antenna A. the sensitivity of the circuit elements is ensured by the application in the input cascade (VT1) DMOS field-effect transistor КП305. Within a small range the sensitivity can be further strengthened or weakened, depending on the situation and the need for adjusting the mode of operation of the FET through R1.

The Autonomous device; “powered” from the battery or three elements of type AAA, total with a constant voltage of 4.5 V and remains operational when the voltage drops to 2.7 V, and with increasing voltage to 6 V. don’t recommend to power it from stationary, even a very stable voltage source, because the meaning of the operation of the device once lost – there are wires and vibrating alarm to hide from prying eyes.

The electrical circuit vibrosignals device

 

Electric motor (no markings) works well at a voltage of 2.2 – 3.8 V (with a voltage higher than the 3.8 has not been tested). At a voltage of 3.3 V, consumes 24 mA.

 

The circuit elements are mounted on a small Board. It is necessary to ensure that the length of conductors and findings of the elements was minimal (to reduce interference, leading to possibilities of false positives), as well as to provide security measures for field-effect transistor, eliminating the influence of static electricity. For this to be grounded soldering iron tip, low power soldering iron (no excess application on a grounded anti-static wrist strap).

 

The quality of the transformer T1 is applied a popular matching ST-1A with three windings that were previously equipped with a portable transistor radios already out of fashion after extensive development of the FM broadcast band. It is perfect for this device (the development was created under ARTICLE 1A).

 

As transistor /T2 you can use any low-power transistor n-p-n conduction with a collector current of at least 50mA.

 

FET VT1 assembled high-frequency generator, the frequency of which will vary markedly when approaching A person, animal, or large object, absorbing the RF oscillations. Changes in the frequency can be locked on an oscilloscope with a high pedantry entrance. Schematically, the resistor R2 is connected in parallel to the winding feedback and also (as a minor item relative to the capacitor C2) adjusts the sensitivity of the site.

 

Circuit Board, vibrator M1, the switch S1 and the batteries are placed in a small unshielded dielectric body, the size of a soap dish outside of the case is displayed only And antenna – cut the flexible insulated wire of length 50 cm

 

The current consumed by the circuit in standby mode is extremely low, less than 5 mA, which provides (established practice) month of continuous operation.

The device is actuated at the moment when someone gets too close to the antenna or touch it. The sensitivity of the device is that the alarm will work even if the “cracker” will wear leather or rubber gloves. Vibrating alarm M1 will be turned on as long as the device takes out a short-term disconnection of contacts of the switch S1.

 

The capacity of a non-polar capacitor C2, if necessary, select a better alignment with the length and location of the antenna.

 

Oxide capacitor C1 is set to the stability of the power supply; if the voltage is less than 4, it “pulls” the scheme ensures its operation.

 

The practice established that this security system works reliably in combination with the wooden drawers of the table (any non-conductive materials) and set on the table a conductive metallic locks and latches. Unfortunately, metal drawers and doors, “screening” is low power and overloading the generator, do not provide the correct circuit operation.

 

The principle of operation

 

In the normal (standby) mode upon power-up the generator on field-effect transistor in combination with the excited winding of T1 generates oscillations of the RF. Output from the secondary winding (right scheme) oscillations rectified by diode VD1, and this positive potential keeps the transistor VT2 is open. Resistor R3 limiting the current in the circuit of transistor VT2, does not allow the transistor to overheat and fail. Collector-emitter voltage (the voltage drop across the junction) on-state transistor is practically zero; this, in turn, provides a constantly closed state of the thyristor /S1 (thyristor /S1 are shunted by an open transistor VT2).

 

Antenna loads (when the object is approaching) high frequency generator; its generation, broken in the result feed is interrupted and the opening of the positive voltage to the base of VT2, it closes and the thyristor, on the contrary, is opened by current through the resistor R3 and M1 vibrate. Since the thyristor “energized” from DC, he until then will remain open until you break the chain of his power, or at least short-term, not de-energize the circuit.
