- Working of second and third sections is known to many of the hobbyists- second is merely a multivibrator, `whereas third is an audio amplifier.
- This device comprises a triggering section, an oscillating section, and an amplification section.
- SCR] may be triggered either by bringing the gate of SCRI in contact with positive pole of the battery momentarily or by flashing a light on the light dependent resistor (LDR).
- By adjusting potentiometer. VRI, the sensitivity of the instrument can be controlled. To switch off the alarm the battery will have to be disconnected momentarily.
- This signal is amplified by the third section and produces an audio alarm through the speaker. This circuit works on 9V.
- Even a light from a cigar can trigger the silicon controlled rectifier. On power (negative voltage) being applied, the second section produces oscillations.
- When light falls on the LDR, its resistance is reduced, thereby a current flows through the gate of SCR]. This gate current triggers SCR] and the oscillating and amplification sections of the alarm get negative voltage.
- These two sections commonly get negative voltage when SCRI is triggered.
