Thermocoupler Circuits
Last Updated on: Wednesday, June 02, 2021 01:44 PM


Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Freezing Temperature Alarm
    This circuit turns on a beeper whenever the outside air temperature is less than zero degrees Centigrade.  The circuit draws only a few microamps from a 9 volt battery.  It uses a glass bead thermistor accurate to 1 degree C.

  • Freezer Over-Temperature Alarm
    This electronic hobby circuit below is designed to activate a beeper alarm, whenever the outside air temperature is below 0 degrees C (32F).  A 9v battery powers the hobby circuit.  The average 9ua current is so low that the battery should last for many years....
