Room Noise Detector

Posted by Unknown at 7:15 PM Sunday, November 16, 2014 Labels: DETECTOR, Noise, Room 0 comments

Every room has a noise level,you can detect the noise level of your room with noise room detector. You can see the series of noise detector its look like simple circuit and everyone can make it.

This circuit is intended to signal through a flashing LED, more than a fixed threshold, room noise, chosen from three fixed levels, namely 50, 70 and 85 dB. Two op amps provide the necessary gain of the circuit sounds like a pick-up is a miniature electric microphone to drive the LEDs. When SW1 at the top of the circuit off. The power of the second, third and fourth circuit and set the entry threshold is 85, 70 and 50 dB. Current drawing is less than 1 mA with LED off and 12 15 mA when the LED is steady on.

Clip for PP3 Battery

Place the small box containing the circuit in the room where you intend to measure noise. The 50 dB setting is provided for controlling noise in the room at night. If the light is constant, and often bright flashes, the room is inadequate and too noisy to sleep. The setting is 70 dB for residences. If this level is often exceeded during the day, your apartment is rather uncomfortable. If the noise is constant, over 85 dB for 8 hours a day, you live in a dangerous environment.

GAS LEAK DETECTOR CIRCUIT

Posted by Unknown at 11:00 PM Friday, November 14, 2014 Labels: CIRCUIT, DETECTOR, GAS, LEAK 0 comments

This is a gas leak detector circuit that detects the leakage of LPG gas and alerts the user through audio-visual indications. The circuit operates off a 9V PP3 battery. Zener diode ZD1 is used to convert 9V into 5V DC to drive the gas sensor module.The gas leakage circuit uses the SEN-1327 gas sensor module from RhydoLABZ. Its output goes high when the gas level reaches or exceeds certain point. A preset in the module is used to set the threshold. Interfacing with the sensor module is done through a 4-pin SIP header.

Pin details of the gas sensor module are shown in Fig. 2. An MQ-6 gas sensor is used in the gas sensor module. The sensor can also be used to detect combustible gases, especially methane.

Circuit Schematic

Whenever there is LPG concentration of 1000 ppm (parts per million) in the area, the OUT pin of the sensor module goes high. This signal drives timer IC 555, which is wired as an astable multivibrator. The multivibrator basically works as a tone generator.

Output pin 3 of IC 555 is connected to LED1 and speaker-driver transistor SL100 through current-limiting resistors R5 and R4, respectively. LED1 glows and the alarm sounds to alert the user of gas leakage. The pitch of the tone can be changed by varying preset VR1. Use a suitable heat-sink for transistor SL100.
