Lessons

Kitchen Timer SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This circuit uses the output from a modified digital kitchen timer to trigger a SCR (Q1) to fire a single detonator. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter SCR Kitchen Timer Kit

Dual SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This circuit uses the output from a modified digital kitchen timer and a normally open switch to arm and fire the circuit, respectively. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter

Balanced SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This is a classic EOD problem where if one detonator is cut the other detonator fires. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter

Quad SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This device utilizes 4 SCRs to operate as a Two OR Configuration for arming and a Two Or Configuration for firing. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter

Single Wire Command Det Alternate

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This is identical to the Single Wire Command Det except it has been modified to ease assembly and deployment for training. A screw terminal is provided for the earth ground spike and the camera flashes high input, instead of soldering directly to the board. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping […]

Single Wire Command Det

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This is a command wire circuit that uses a modified camera flash to send a high voltage output to a NPN transistor to trigger the gate of an SCR energizing the control circuit of a relay. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter

DIY CWC-7 RC Timer SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This circuit is based on the predecessor to the RFT-2 with some modifications.The firing circuit has been replaced with an SCR and the CWC-7 is replaced with a radio module and a PT-2272 decoder IC. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter

RFT-2 Conceptual SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This radio circuit, historically recognized as RFT-2, utilizes a QUAD NOR Gate and RC timer to accomplish an arm timer. Upon completion of the timer, power is provided to the radio module (Historically a ‘CWC-7’), and the circuit waits for a signal from the module. This fires a single detonator through a Darlington […]

Indonesia Light Sensor (SCR)

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This circuit uses a LDR and a SCR to fire the device when a cell phone screen lights up or a victim opens the package. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter

Quad SCR Dual Out

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview SCR 1 and 2 are in parallel, SCR 3 and 4 are parallel, but SCR 1 and 2 are in series with SCR 3 and 4. This makes the circuit a Two OR Configuration for arming and a Two Or Configuration for firing. If either of the arming SCR’s (SCR 3 and SCR […]

URDU Battery Disconnect SCR

Author: Site Admin

Lab Overview This circuit functions the same as the typical collapsing circuit that would use two batteries and a relay, except here, we replace the relay with an SCR. When B2 is removed, the circuit collapses and fires a Detonator. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter
