Circuit Diagram

Working Explanation

The Power ON Alarm with Auto OFF Circuit alerts the user when their equipment turns on and automatically turns off after a preset delay. This circuit uses a standard 555 monostable multivibrator IC to function.

When power is applied, the 0.1uF capacitor briefly grounds pin 2 of the IC, sending an activating signal to the 555 monostable. This causes the output of the IC to go high and trigger a voltage toggle that activates the connected relay. The relay switches on the alarm. This will start buzzing until the relay is shut off automatically by the 555 IC’s monostable one-shot feature. The duration of the alarm can be adjusted by changing the values of the 100k resistor, and capacitor C. Experiment with different values of C, ranging from 10uF to 100uF, to achieve a delay of 5 to 10 seconds.

Final Words

In conclusion, the Power ON Alarm with Auto OFF Circuit is a must-have for anyone looking to keep track of their equipment’s power status. Its simple design and easy-to-understand work make it perfect for electronics enthusiasts of all levels.

Say goodbye to worrying about forgotten equipment running all day long, and say hello to a convenient and reliable solution that will save you time and energy. So, get your hands on the Power ON Alarm with Auto OFF Circuit today and start exploring the fascinating world of electronics. Happy learning!
