Electronic Siren

OCTOBER 3, 2013 BY ENGINEEERING PROJECTS 0 COMMENTS

Here is an inexpensive siren circuit build around the most popular and low-cost IC 741.
The circuit is basically a square wave generator which is used here to produce the tone
of a siren.

The IC1 is used as a low-frequency multivibrator, the output of which modulates the
high-frequency tone produced by the IC2 multivibrator. The final output is amplified and
converted into a loud siren by transistor T1 and the speaker.

Various interesting tone can be obtained by changing the values of capacitors C 1 and
C2 and resistor R2 and R6. If the value of C1 is increased, the siren will produce sound
like that of a fire engine.

Device such as burglar alarms and sirens, whose basic purpose is to monitor
certain conditions, make enjoyable projects because of the verity of sounds
they can generate. Figure 1 shows a simple siren/alarm circuit using a dual-
amp MC1458, audio amplifier LM380, and a 1-W speaker. The dual op-amp is
used as a signal generator that produces square, pulse and triangular or
sawtooth wave froms.
The operation of the circuit is as follows. The A1 and A2 op-amps make up a
waveform generator in which the output of A1 is a square wave or pulse
waveform and that of A2 is either a triangular or sawtooth waveform. The
potentiometer R2 controls the frequency as well as the type of output
waveform of op-amps A1 and A2. The switch SW1 connect the output of A1 or
A2 to the audio power amplifier LM380, this in turn drives the speaker.
Although not used in the circuit of figure 1, a potentiometer may be connected
between (+) and (-) inputs of the power amplifier to control its voltage gain,
which in turn controls the sound volume. The sound level produced depends
on the position of switch SW1, the wiper setting of potentiometer R2, and the
value of capacitor C4. Therefore, sound of varying intensities can be obtained
by adjusting SW1, R2, and C4.
For higher output power (sound intensities), audio power amplifier may be
used in the bridge from. This configuration will also require a higher wattage
speaker.
