741 op amp bassed Alarm project electronic circuit with explanation


A very simple alarm project electronic circuit can be designed using a common 741 operational amplifier IC and some other common electronic parts . As you can see in the schematic circuit , this alarm project is activated by some normal open contacts , connected in parallel . If one of those contact is closed the alarm will sound .
This alarm project is composed from an audio frequency generator , a small audio amplifier stage and a small command stage .

The audio frequency generator is designed using a 741 operational amplifier ( or some other similar type ) .The T2 and T2 transistors forms a small audio amplifier and the normal opened contacts I1to I3 forms the command stage ( you can use how many contacts you need ).
In stand-by mode when all contacts are opened T1 transistor is locked and the alarm is inactive . If one of the contact is closed T1 transistor will activate the relay that will activate alarm . One the alarm starts to sound it can not be stopped until the I contact will be opened ( the circuit will be unplugged from the power source) .

The relay used in this project must have a 12 volts nominal voltage ( 10 volts activation) with a maximum working current of 10-30mA.
This circuit project must be powered from a 12 volt DC power supply .
