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.
Motorcycle Alarms #5 & #6 - These are two easy to build relay-based alarms. You can use them to protect your motorcycle but they have many more applications. if you use relays with 6-volt coils they'll protect your "Classic Bike". Both alarms are very small. The completed boards occupy about half a cubic-inch 8 cc. The standby current is zero so they won't drain your battery. Circuit designed by Ron J. __ Designed by Andy Collison
Motorcyle Alarm #2 - This circuit features an intermittent siren output and automatic reset. it can be operated manually using a key-switch or a hidden switch; but it can also be wired to set itself automatically when you turn-off the ignition. By adding external relays you can immobilize the bike, flash the lights etc. Ron has used my Asymmetric Timer as the basis for his design __ Designed by Ron J.

N/O: N/C Timed Burglar Alarm - This is a simple but effective alarm circuit which can reset its self after a time that you select. it has normally open and normally closed triggers which make this circuit very practical. This alarm has normally open and normally closed triggers. it's on a 555 timer so the alarm will reset it's self after a certain amount of time. The time is adjustable __

Novel buzzer using a relay & transformer - This novel buzzer circuit uses a relay in series with a small audio transformer and speaker. When the switch is pressed, the relay will operate via the transformer primary and closed relay contact. As soon as the relay operates the normally closed contact will open, removing power from the relay, the contacts close and the sequence repeats, all very quickly __ Designed by Andy Collison
One-button lock provides high security - 03/04/99 EDN-Design ideas (contains several designs, scroll to find this one) Figure 1 is the block diagram of an easily programmed, single-button combination lock. You operate the lock by using a series of short and long pulses from a momentary switch that masquerades as a doorbell button. The circuit uses inexpensive CMOS
logic. The retriggerable timer, T1, locks out entries made after the T1 code-entry window, thereby greatly enhancing security. The circuit in Figure 2 operates as follows: The Schmitt-trigger quad NAND gate, IC 1, debounces the code-entry switch and, with the aid of simple analog circuitry, produces separate outputs for activation times of less than and more than 0.3 sec. These outputs connect to the select gate, IC 5 Design by Maxwell Strange, Fulton, MD
One-Time-Only Burglar Alarm - Multi-Zone Burglar Alarm Circuits: When this alarm is activated its Siren will sound once - for up to 20-minutes. Then it will switch off and remain off. The basic circuit has a single zone with independently adjustable Exit and Entry delays. This will be adequate in many situations. However, there's also a range of Expansion Modules. These will allow you to add any number of instant Zones, Tamper Zones and Personal Attack Zones to your system. __ Designed by Ron J.
One-Time-Only Motorcycle Alarm - Motorcycle Alarm Circuits: This is a "one-time-only" alarm - with an LED activation indicator. if the bike is moved - the siren will sound for about a minute. Then it will switch off - and remain off. it won't activate a second time. it can't be activated again - until the next time the alarm is set. __ Designed by Ron J.
Opened Window or Door Alarm - Economical circuit of an electronic alarm, notifies you when your door or window is open, is presented here. This circuit wired around the Quad 2-input NAND Schmitt trigger IC 4093 (IC 1) can be powered from a standard 9V battery. Here, a normally-closed (N/C) push switch (S1) is used to monitor the door/window activity. For __ Designed by T.K. Hareendran
Oscillating Output Improves System Security - 02/06/03 EDN Design Ideas: Filter allows comparison of noisy signals - Many electronic-control systems have digital outputs that use transistors. One method of improving the security in these outputs is to use an oscillating signal to represent a logic-high state instead of a fixed voltage level (Figure 1). This type of signal, a dynamic variable, can drive the circuit shown in Figure 2 Design by Jorge Marcos and Ana Gómez, University of Vigo, Vigo, Spain
Over Voltage Protection - Safety devices like fuses provide protection against excess current, but do nothing for transients and short duration spikes of high voltahe on the power supply lines.
