INTRODUCTION

The heart of car reverse horn

circuit is melody generator IC
CIC2877 (IC1) followed by amplifier
IC and few passive components.
IC1 is made from a ROM oscillator
and a pre-amplifier which further
generate sound. The generated
sound output is available at pin 3
which is further connected to pin 2
of amplifier IC through variable
resistor VR1. IC2 amplify the
generated sound up to desired
level and its output from pin 7 and
12 is given to loudspeaker through
coupling capacitors C 8 and
C9 respectively. The power supply
ig given to the circuit from battery
of car.

 THEORY
This car reverse horn can be used with any vehicle having a
12V battery. Transistors T2 and T3 form an astable
multivibrator (AMV) that generates beeping tone signals.
Medium-power pnp transistor T1 functions as a simple
speaker amplifier.

BD139 (T4) is an npn medium power transistor. A 5.6V zener

diode (ZD1) is connected to its base. ZD1 provides 5.6V DC
regulated power supply to the horn circuit built around
transistors T1 through T3. Diode D1 functions as reverse
polarity protector. 12V DC to the circuit is connected via brake
switch of the car/ three-wheeler.

When you reverse your vehicle, the circuit is connected to

the battery of the car through the brake switch. The AMV
oscillates and produces an audio frequency, which is given to
speaker driver transistor T1 to generate a beeping tone. This
tone can be altered by changing the values of capacitors C2
through C4 in multivibrator circuit.

Assemble the circuit on a general-purpose PCB and enclose in

a suitable box. Connect 12V DC power supply to the circuit
through the brake switch. When you reverse your car the
circuit gets 12V required for its workingPlace the cabinet in the

vehicle such that it produces sound at the rear while reversing
the car.

 APPLICATION
1. This car reverse horn can be used with any
vehicle having a 12V battery.

2. When you reverse your car the circuit gets

REQUIRES its voltage and produce beeping tone
while reversing the car thereafter the driver get
notifies from it .
3. When somebody behind the car this product
gets sensing and indicates the light on indicator
therefore the driver gets notifies from it its very
Important .
4. It is very important for all types vehicles for
safety purpose.
