RED LIGHT ON SIMPLE TOUCH TIMER FREE
1 shows the circuit of the touch free timer switch. This is achieved by detecting the infrared light reflected by your hand onto a receiver device. The time of discharge of capacitor through 10KΩ resistor and 100KΩ POT can be set by adjusting the variable resistor.Ī 1KΩ resistor acts as a protection resistor when the resistance of variable resistor is completely reduced. The simple touch free timer switch circuit presented here can be operated by moving your hand in front of it. When the switch is opened or button is released, BC547 will stay turned on due to the charge from the capacitor. R1 acts as the current limiting resistor for the LED. The 1000♟ capacitor will charge at the same time through 220Ω resistor.Īs BC547 is turned on and its emitter is connected to the base of BC337 through 12K resistor, it will trigger BC337 and it starts conducting.Īs the LED is connected to collector of BC337, it is turned on.

When the switch is closed, the transistor BC547 is turned on. The circuit is very simple and self-explanatory. The timer is based on the charging and discharging of the capacitor in the RC network. The design of the timer switch is very simple. It’s a transistor based electronic timer. If no key is pressed for a particular duration, the television or computer will automatically go to sleep mode where the device enters a low power consumption mode or may even be switched off. One of the best examples of a timer switch is the sleep mode in televisions and computers. The switch is turned on or off by the timer only after the preset time. Timer is a switch that is operated by a timer system. In this post, a simple timer circuit switch for light is designed that will turn on a high power LED for a particular duration.
