Simple Code Lock

This document describes a simple electronic code lock circuit. The circuit uses a 9-digit code number to operate a relay that can power an electrical appliance. When power is supplied, a positive pulse resets the circuit to make the first output of a decade counter IC high. Pressing switches S1 through S9 sequentially shifts the high state through each output, matching the code number. When the tenth output is high, a transistor energizes the relay. Diodes prevent issues if multiple switches are pressed at once.

(Q2 to Q10) will be low. To shift the high
state from Q1 to Q2, a positive pulse must
be applied at the clock input terminal (pin
14) of IC1. This is possible only by press-
ing the push-to-on switch S1 momentarily.
On pressing switch S1, the high state
shifts from Q1 to Q2.
Now, to change the high state from
Q2 to Q3, apply another positive pulse at
pin 14, which is possible only by pressing
switch S2. Similarly, the high state can
be shifted up to the tenth output (Q10)
by pressing the switches S1 through S9
sequentially in that order. When Q10 (pin
11) is high, transistor T1 conducts and
energises relay RL1. The relay can be
used to switch ‘on’ power to any electrical
appliance.
Diodes D1 through D9 are provided
to prevent damage/malfunctioning of the
IC when two switches corresponding to
‘high’ and ‘low’ output terminals are
pressed simultaneously. Capacitor C2 and
resistor R3 are provided to prevent noise
during switching action.
