    This circuit uses ICs and discrete components to automatically turn a load such as an appliance on or off at preset alarm times from a clock. When the alarm sounds, a transistor is triggered which clocks a counter IC. The counter IC then energizes or de-energizes a relay depending on the preset time to switch the load on or off. The circuit allows a load to be switched on at a preset time or to be manually turned on and then automatically switched off at a later preset time.

    his simple circuit automatically
    activates or deactivates an elec-
    tronic device at the time of alarm
    preset in a clock. When the alarm rings,
    the tone burst generated at the terminal
    of the buzzer triggers the circuit and the
    relay energises or de-energises to switch
    on or switch off the load.
    The circuit is built around ICs
    CD40106 (IC1) and CD4017 (IC2) and
    a few discrete components. IC1 is a hex
    Schmitt trigger, while IC2 is a decade
    counter. The circuit works off regulat-
    ed 6V power supply, while the alarm
    clock runs off its own 1.5V battery.
    The tone burst generated at the
    piezobuzzer is tapped from its connec-
    tion points. The positive terminal of the
    clock buzzer is connected to the base of
    transistor T1 and the negative terminal
    is connected to ground of the circuit.
    When the alarm clock sounds, the
    signal from the clock buzzer makes
    transistor T1 conduct. As a result, pin
    1 of gate N1 goes low and it outputs
    high at pin 2. This low-to-high transi-
    tion clocks the counter (IC2) at pin 14
    through diode D1 and gate N2. In this
    way, IC2 advances by one at each clock
    produced due to the sounding alarm.
    There are two situations where this
    circuit can be used:
    1. You want an appliance or gadget
    to switch on automatically at a preset
    time
    2. You switch on an appliance or
    gadget manually at a particular time
    and want it to switch off automatically
    at a preset time
    Let us see how it works when you
    want your appliance to switch on at a
    preset time, say, 3 pm. Set the alarm in
    your clock to 3 pm and slide switch S3
    towards Q1. When the alarm sounds
    at 3 pm, Q0 output of IC2 advances to
    Q1 and relay RL1 energises to connect
    the load (appliance) to mains power
    supply through its contacts. The load
    remains on until you reset IC2 by
    momentarily pressing S1. At this time,
    you need to pause the alarm using
    pause switch of the clock.
    Now suppose you manually start
    the load at 3 pm and want it to stop
    automatically at 6 pm. First, reset IC2
    by momentarily pressing S1 and slide
    switch S3 towards Q2. Set the alarm in
    your clock to 6 pm. To start the load,
    press switch S2 momentarily at 3 pm.
    The Q0 output of IC2 advances to Q1
    and relay RL1 energises to connect the
    load to mains power supply through
    its contacts. When the alarm sounds at
    6 pm, Q1 output of IC2 advances to Q2
    and relay RL1 de-energises to discon-
    nect the load from mains power supply
    through its contacts. At this time, you
    need to pause the alarm using pause
    switch of the clock.
    When you press reset switch S1,
    LED1 glows to indicate that the circuit
    is ready to work. When you press start
    switch S2, LED2 glows to indicate start
    mode. Glowing of LED3 means that
    the counter has stopped counting and
    needs to be reset before use.
    When the counter is in stop mode,
    Q2 output of IC2 remains high. As this
    pin is connected to the clock-enable
    input (pin 13) of IC2, the clock input
    is inhibited. In this condition, any tone
    burst signal arriving from the clock
    has no effect on IC2 and therefore the
    circuit remains in stop mode. You can
    now set the alarm time in the clock.
    Assemble the circuit on a general-
    purpose PCB and enclose in a small
    cabinet. Connect the base of transistor
    (T1) to positive terminal of the alarm
    clock and negative terminal to ground
    of the circuit. Put the alarm clock at a
    convenient place. If you do not want to
    use a 6V battery, replace it with a 6V
    adaptor to power the circuit. Mount
    the LEDs and the pushbutton on the
    front panel of the cabinet.
