telephone remote control

introduction

telephone remote control implies control of devices at a remote

location via a circuit interfaced to the remote telephone line/device by dialing

specific dtmf ( dual-tone multi frequency) digits from a local telephone. the

telephone remote system described here has the following features.

1) it can control multiple channels/relays.

2) it provides you feedback when the circuit is in energized state and also

sends an acknowledgement indicating action with respect to the switching

‘on’ of each requested relay and switching ‘off’ of all relays (together).

3) it can selectively switch ‘on’ any one or more relays one after the other and

switch ‘off’ all relays simultaneously.

operation

instead of straightway proceeding with the circuit description, we

shall start with the operation as this would help us in understanding the circuit

better. the operation is as follows :

1. from the local telephone, dial the number of the remote telephone to which the

connected. in a short while you will hear a musical note indicating

that the circuit connected to the remote telephone is active.

2. now if you want to switch ‘on’ a particular relay/device, press ‘*’ button on the

telephone keypad followed by any one of digits 1 to 7 corresponding to the

device/relay number that you desire to switch ‘on’. the switching ‘on’ of the relay

will be acknowledged/indicated by a musical note. now you may keep the handset

on the cradle.

3. if you want to switch ‘off’ the relays, press ‘*’ and then press key for digit 8. a

musical note is heard, which indicates that all the relays have been switched ‘off’.

keep the handset on cradle.

the circuit

at the remote telephone end, the ringing signal is detected by a high-

input-impedance op-amp ca3140e that is wired as a comparator. since this op-amp

output is open-collector type, the output pin has been pulled towards vcc via 10-

kilo-ohm resistor r21. ic2 (ne556) comprises two timers (ne555 type) that have

been configured as monostables.

when a ring is detected by ic1, its output triggers one of the timers in

ic 556. the output of the timer after inversion by one of the nand gates of ic3

(cd4011), enables ic4 (cd4060) by taking its reset pin 12 ‘low’. (ic4 is an

oscillator-cum-14-bit binary counter.) as a result, ic4 starts counting when the ring

signal strikes the input of the circuit.

after some time, decided by the setting of preset vr3, q12 output of

ic4 goes ‘high’. this output coupled to pin 8 of a nand gate inside ic3 will enable

it. the detected ring signal (if the ring signal is still persisting) applied to pin 9 of

the same nand gate (after inversion by another nand gate) will pass through it to

trigger the second monostable inside ic2 (ne556) as well as ic5 (ne555), which is

again wired as a monostable. this arrangement avoids the circuit from being

triggered by any transients or false ring signals on the telephone line.

the output of the second monostable of ic2, available at its pin 9,

drives transistor t2 and shunts the telephone line with 220-ohm resistor (r20). as a

result, the telephone line voltage drops to around 10 to 12 volts. this is equivalent

to the lifting of the telephone handset of the remote telephone. as mentioned

earlier, both ic5 and the second monostable of ic2 are triggered simultaneously.

the output of monostable ic5 starts melody generator ic6 (um66) and the musical

note obtained from it is coupled to the telephone line. this informs the caller that

the remote circuit is in energized condition, the next step for the operator at local

govt. poly. washim 5

telephone is to press the ‘*’ button, which makes the local telephone to operate in

the tone-dialing mode. the digits that are pressed after pressing the ‘*’ button are

converted to dtmf tones.

the tone is decoded by ic7 and its three lsbs (covering binary

equivalent of decimal digits 0 through 7) are connected to the address inputs,

while the msb line is connected to reset pin 2 of ic8 (cd4099, an 8-bit addressable

latch). when a valid dtmf tone is detected at the input of ic7, its pin 15 goes ‘high’

to enable ic8 after inversion by nand gate of ic2. at the same time, it triggers ic5

for informing the caller that his key-press is accepted. numbers 1 to 7 on the local

keypad cause latching of the corresponding relays, while number 8 causes reset

operation, which means that we can switch ‘on’ seven relays independently one by

one and switch ‘off’ all relays simultaneously by pressing number 8. the output of

ic8 drives the relays via the relay driver transistor. truth table i(a) and i(b) of

cd4099 indicate relay operation.

allignment

1. connect the circuit to the telephone line.

2. adjust preset vr1 so that the ringing pulse causes led1 to flicker. for better

performance, set the voltage at pin 3 of ic1 at approximately 2 volts.

3. the time required to activate/energize the circuit. is adjusted by preset vr3

with the help of led2 .

4. the time available for remote switching action can be set by preset vr2 with

the help of led4. indirectly, the setting of preset vr2 determines the charge

that will have to be paid to the telecom department.

5. the period of musical note can be controlled by the adjustment of preset vr 4

with the help of led3.

conclusion

the telephone remote control is very useful in future fast and advance

life. through further improvement we can control the appliances by giving timings

with the use of micro controllers and computers.

this application is very useful in industry where the energy

consumption per second is very large so that the product cost can be reduce. also

it can help to solve the problem of electric power deficiency.

the total cost of "the telephone remote control system" came up to

rs.500/-. this is a reasonable cost as the efficiency , reliability and safety to control

home appliances.
