Door Bell Circuit

Engineeering Projects
circuit diagram of door bell

This project describes the constructional and working details of a door bell circuit. The door bell circuit presented here is of 2-notes (modulated sound) type and delivers about 4-watt Musial power at 12 volt. While using it as a door bell circuit, 6V DC supply is enough, which can be derived either from dry battery cells or a battery eliminator. The door bell circuit is flexible enough to work off right from 6V to 18V supply, without change of any component in the circuitry. However, it is important to use…

circuit diagram of photoelectric switch using 555

This circuit is of a highly sensitive photoelectric switch using NE555 timer IC. When the LDR1 is kept in light, the switch remains off, but when the light source is removed, the controller circuit gets switched on. This switch has vast application. With little modification, it can be used as a burglar alarm, a corridor visitors monitor, an automatic street lighting system, and as an automatic water tap system. Circuit Description of | Photoelectric switch using NE555 The NE555 timer functions here as a Schmitt trigger. A NE555 IC comprises two…

Water Level Controller Using NE555

Engineeering Projects
circuit diagram of water level controller

Here is a circuit called Water Level Controller Using 555  which continuously monitors the level in the overhead and ground-level tanks, and switches on the pump whenever the water level in the overhead tanks falls below a predetermined level and switches off the pump whenever it reaches the maximum preset level so that there is no spillage. Further, if the level of water in the lower tank falls below a preset low level, this circuit overrides the commands being sensed from the overhead tank and switches off the pump. This…
