Light Activated Relay with 555 IC - This light activated relay circuit presented here uses the 555 timer IC and a light dependent resistor or LDR to form a light sensitive relay in an intruder alarm system or for switching on a lamp at Sun set and off at Sun rise. Potentiometer R1 value must be chosen and then adjusted that under normal conditions when the light __ Designed by Popescu Marian
Light Controlled Relay Switch - The first circuit energizes the relay when the light rises above the preset level. The second circuit energizes the relay when the light falls below the preset level. The two circuits are practically identical. The only difference between them is the polarity of the transistor. The value of the LDR is not critical. The important thing is the voltage on pins 5 & 6. Any value LDR should work satisfactorily. But you may need to change the value of R1 - to achieve the desired range of adjustment __ Designed by Ron J
Light Receiver Works from 1Khz to Over 70Mhz - This circuit uses one tiny C-MOS inverter IC to form a modulated light receiver with a very fast response. it is designed around a PIN photo diode that is packaged for use with plastic optical fibers. it can be used as an optical fiber receiver. By using the open end of the optical fiber it can "sniff" out any modulated light signals. . . Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-June, 2000
Light Sensor-741 Based - The circuit as shown act as a light sensor. Under normal conditions the resistance of the LDR is high, keeping pin 2 low. When light falls onto the LDR the resistance drops to a couple hundred ohms and triggers pin 2 high which biases the base of Q1 via pin 6 and R4 and in turn activates the relay __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

Motorcycle Alarm #7 - Motorcycle Alarm Circuits: This is a simple transistor alarm - with a siren cut-off timer. While the thief continues to move the bike - and the normally-open trigger switch continues to open and close - the siren will continue to sound. Shortly after the bike stops moving - the siren switches off - and the alarm resets. __ Designed by Ron J.
Motorcycle Alarm #8 - Motorcycle Alarm Circuits: This transistor alarm has a siren cut-off timer - and an LED activation indicator. Shortly after the thief abandons the bike - the siren will switch off and the alarm will reset. if the LED is lighting when you return - you'll know there's been an activation while you were away. __ Designed by Ron J.

Parallel Port Relay Interface - Below are three examples of controlling a relay from the PC's parallel printer port (LPT1 or LPT2). Figure A shows a solid state relay controlled by one of the parallel port data lines (D0-D7) using a 300 ohm resistor and 5 volt power source.

PC Securely Controls Relay - 11/23/95 EDN Design Ideas: When a PC-driven solid-state or electromechanical relay controls external equipment, take care to design an interface that avoids false triggering. The interface circuit in Figure 1a switches the relay on and off only after a specific sequence of outputs. Thus, this design protects the relay against the influence of computer-reset and i/O operations that some drivers perform during system start-up to locate add-on cards Design by Jerzy R Chrzaszcz, Institute of Computer Science, Warsaw University of Technology Warsaw, Poland
Photo Electric Street Light - This is basically a Schmitt Trigger circuit which receives input from a cadmium sulfide photo cell and controls a relay that can be used to switch off and on a street lamp at dawn and dusk. I have built the circuit with a 120 ohm/12 volt relay and monitored performance using a lamp dimmer, but did not connect the relay to an outside light. The photo cell should be shielded from the lamp to prevent feedback and is usually mounted above the light on top of a reflector and pointed upward at the sky so the lamp light does not strike the photo cell and switch off the lamp. The photo cell is __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Three photo transistors are used which can be embedded into the track with a light shining down onto the finish line so that as the car crosses over the sensor, the light is blocked, activating the relay and lighting the lamp for the appropriate track. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Power-Off Time Delay Relay - The two circuits below illustrate opening a relay contact a short time after the ignition or ligh switch is turned off. The capacitor is charged and the relay is closed when the voltage at the diode anode rises to +12 volts. The circuit on the left is a common collector or emitter follower and has the advantage of one less part since a resistor is not needed in series with the transistor base. However the voltage across the relay coil will be two diode drops less than the supply voltage, or about 11 volts for a 12.5 volt input. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Power-On Time Delay Relay - Here's a power-on time delay relay circuit that takes advantage of the emitter/base breakdown voltage of an ordinary bi-polar transistor. The reverse connected emitter/base junction of a 2N3904 transistor is used as an 8 volt zener diode which creates a higher turn-on voltage for the Darlington connected transistor pair. Most any bi-polar transistor may be used, but the zener voltage will vary from about 6 to 9 volts depending on the particular transistor used. Time delay is roughly 7 seconds using a 47K resistor and 100uF capacitor and can be reduced by reducing the R or C values. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Pulse Relay - Scroll to this one. This circuit will convert a standard relay to a pulse relay; pressing the button will switch it on and pressing it again will switch it off. For this purpose you need a relay with 2 sets of contacts: one is used for the circuit and the other is available for an outside circuit. Sometimes it is difficult or impossible to find a stepping relay, normally used in electrical wiring, and this is a viable solution. __ Designed by di Domenico Di Mario
