Automatic Automotive Burglar Alarm

Alarm triggers on after a 13 second delay and stays on for 1-1 Vfe minutes. Then it resets automatically It can also be turned off and reset by opening and reclosing SI. Automotive Burglar Alarm Circuit Diagram

Automotive Voltage Indicator

Monitors battery voltage, Three-LED Display. Connecting this circuit to the battery of your vehicle, you will always know at a glance the approximate voltage available. An indication of battery voltage is useful to the motorist for monitoring the battery's capacity to deliver current, and as a check on the efficiency of the dynamo or alternator. Threshold voltages of the Leds are set by means of two Zener Diodes (D6 & D10) plus two further Diodes wired in series (D4, D5 and D8, D9 respectively) adding a step of about 1.3V to the nominal Zener voltage. Parts:   R1 = 1k R2 = 100K R3 = 1k R4 = 3.3K R5 = 3.3K R6 = 1k R7 = 3.3K R8 = 3.3K Q1 = BC547 Q2 = BC547 Q3 = BC557 D1 = Red Led D2 = Amber Led D3 = 1N4148 D4 = 1N4148 D5 = 1N4148 D6 = BZX79C10 D7 = Green Led D8 = 1N4148 D9 = 1N4148 D10 = BZX79C12 Notes: Red LED D1 is on when battery voltage is 11.5V or less. This indicates a low battery charge. Amber LED D2 is on when battery voltage is comprised in the 11.5 - 13.5V range. This ...
