Alarm control keypad - The IC is a quad 2 input "AND" gate, a CMOS
4081. These gates only produce a HiGH output, when BOTH the inputs are HiGH. When the key wired to 'E' is pressed, current through R1 and D1 switchs Q5 on. The relay energises; and Q5 is 'latched on' by R8. Thus, the Alarm is set by pressing a single key, say one of the two non-numeric symbols __ Designed by Ron J.

An Enhanced Shed / Garage Alarm - Battery-Powered Alarm Circuits: This is an enhanced version of the simple Garage/Shed Alarm. The Entry and Exit delays have been increased to about 30-seconds - and I'veadded a timed Siren cut-off and automatic Reset. I'vealso replaced the LED with an entry Buzzer. These enhancements mean that the new version will have a much wider application. __ Designed by Ron J.
An Expandable Multi-Zone Modular Burglar Alarm - Multi-Zone Burglar Alarm Circuits: This circuit features automatic Exit and Entry delays and a timed Bell Cut-off. it has provision for both normally-closed and normally-open contacts, and a 24-hour Personal Attack/Tamper zone. By using the Expansion Modules, you can add as many zones as you require; some or all of which may be the inertia (shock) sensor type. __ Designed by Ron J.
An Expandable Transistor Based Burglar Alarm - Multi-Zone Burglar Alarm Circuits: This transistor based alarm features automatic Exit and Entry delays - together with a timed Bell Cut-off and system Reset. Along with the Exit/Entry zone - the basic alarm board has one instant Zone. This will be adequate in many situations. However - the modular design means that it's easy to add as many zones as you like to the system. Details of a Four-Zone expansion module are provided. __ Designed by Ron J.
Anti Theft Motorcycle Alarm - Any number of normally open switches may be used. Fit the mercury switches so that they close when the steering is moved or when the bike is lifted off its side-stand or pushed forward off its centre-stand. Use micro-switches to protect removable panels and the lids of panniers etc. While at least one switch remains closed, the siren will sound. About two minutes after the switches have been opened again, the alarm will reset. __ Designed by Ron J

Anti-Theft Security for Car Audio - This small circuit, based on popular CMOS
NAND chip CD4093, can be effectively used for protecting your expensive car audio system against theft. When 12V DC from the car battery is applied to the gadget (as indicated by
LED1) through switch S1, the circuit goes into standby mode. LED inside optocoupler IC 1 is lit as its cathode terminal is grounded via the car audio (amplifier) body. As a result, the output at pin 3 of gate N1 goes low and disables the rest of the circuit. __ Learning Electronics
