This is a
design for simple circuit of the tilt sensor alarm
presented here can be fabricated using readily available inexpensive
components. The circuit is a true transistor based design. Home made Tilt
sensor for this circuit is an ordinary little glass/plastic bottle with two
metal needles inserted through its cap, and a small quantity of water inside. A
9V alkaline battery is enough for powering the whole circuit. Here’s the figure
of the schematic circuit;
In
this figure shows that this circuit is based on two transistor as main control.
There are BC 557 and BC 547. Usually, transistor T1 is in inactive state. When
the sensor assembly is tilted, both needles inside the sensor (bottle) are
short circuited by the water and a positive voltage is available at the base of
T1 and it becomes active. Activation of T1 causes the activation of next
transistors T2 and T3. After this, T2 supplies constant bias for T1 to make it
latched and T3 triggers the SCR(T4) which in turn energizes the active
piezo-sounder(BZ1). Once activated the circuit can be deactivated by depressing
the power/reset switch S1. Preset pot P1 is deliberately added here to adjust
the circuit sensitivity. This may become necessary if you are trying a
different (readymade) tilt sensor. Similar, SCR(T4) and piezo sounder (BZ1) may
be replaced with near equivalent parts. Resistor R3 (100-150 Ohm) is optional.
