Moto Alarm
Description: These are two easy to build relay-based alarms. You can use them to protect your motorcycle but they have many more applications. If you use relays with 6-volt coils, they'll protect your "Classic Bike". Both alarms are very small. The completed boards occupy about half a cubic inch - 8 cc. The standby current is zero, so they won’t drain your battery. More: Circuit Number Five uses a SPCO/SPDT relay - but you really only need to use a SPST relay. If you are going to use the veroboard layout provided, you’ll need to use the style of relay specified. But you can build the alarm using whatever style of relay.
The described relay-based alarms are compact electronic circuits designed for various applications, particularly for motorcycle security. The circuits utilize relays to create an alarm system that can be activated by unauthorized access or tampering.
For construction, the alarms are designed to fit on a small board, measuring approximately 8 cc, which makes them suitable for installation in tight spaces. The use of relays with 6-volt coils is recommended, particularly for classic motorcycles, ensuring compatibility with typical motorcycle electrical systems.
The first circuit, referred to as Circuit Number Five, employs a Single Pole Changeover (SPCO) or Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay configuration. However, it is noted that a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) relay can also be utilized, offering flexibility in component choice. When using the provided veroboard layout, adherence to the specified relay type is essential for optimal performance.
The design ensures that the standby current is zero, which is a critical feature for battery conservation, allowing the alarm to remain inactive without draining the motorcycle's battery. This characteristic is particularly advantageous for vehicles that may not be used frequently, as it prevents battery depletion over time.
In summary, these relay-based alarms provide a practical solution for enhancing security in motorcycles and other applications, combining compactness, efficiency, and flexibility in relay selection.These are two - easy to build - relay-based alarms.

One Amp Battery Charger
When this battery charger was purchased in 1970, it was not anticipated that it would still be relevant today. At that time, the owner had an old car with a weak battery that struggled to start in cold weather, prompting...
Light Dark switch activated relay circuits
This light-dark switch activated relay circuit schematic represents one of the simplest electronic circuits designed to activate other electronic devices based on light or darkness. It requires a single electronic relay and a few common components that are not critical....
Controlling a relay with a digital logic level circuit
The schematic below illustrates four methods of controlling a relay with a digital logic signal. Figure A can be used in most cases where the relay coil requires 100 mA or less and the input current is 2 milliamps or...
Simple Alarm Circuit Keeps Wandering Children
The receiver circuit in Figure 1 activates an audio alarm when the transmitter (Figure 2) moves beyond a specified perimeter. The transmitter functions as a voltage-controlled oscillator, operating at approximately 915 MHz within the unlicensed ISM (industrial/scientific/medical) band. It features...
Motorcycle electronic Gear Indicator
This is a new design for a universal gear indicator that can be fitted to any motorcycle as an aftermarket accessory. Its main advantage is that its operation depends entirely on the gear shift lever movement, instead of connecting to...
Single Transistor Relay Toggle Circuit
The circuit requires a double pole, double throw relay in conjunction with a single transistor to allow toggling the relay with a momentary push button. One set of relay contacts is used to control the load, while the other is...
Dean Forest Railway Telecoms
Each line key has three positions. In the centralized position, it connects the line circuit to the line to await a call. In the downward position (KK), it operates a K relay which switches the line through to the common...
