IR Remote Control Tester Circuit Diagram

Here’s a simple, low cost, and easy to construct infrared remote control tester. The tester is built around an easily available infrared receiver module (TSOP 1238).

Circuit Diagram:

Schematic diagram of IR remote control tester IR Remote Control Tester Circuit Diagram

Normally, data output pin 3 of the IR receiver module is at a high level (5 volts)and as such driver transistor T1 is in cut-off state. Whenever the IR receiver module receives a valid (modulated) infrared signal, its data output pin goes low in synchronism with the received infrared bursts. As a result, transistor T1 conducts during negative pulse period and the.LED blinks to indicate reception of signals from the remote such as TV remote control. A miniature active buzzer is connected at the collector of transistor T1 for audio indication.

 

Proposed enclosure with front-panel

The 5V DC for energizing the circuit is directly derived from the 230V AC mains supply. Unlike the conventional resistive voltage divider, a capacitive potential divider is used here, which does not radiate any heat and makes the tester quite compact. Another advantage of this tester is no false triggering due to the ambient light or electronic ballast-operated tubelights. A suggested enclosure for the circuit is shown in Fig. 2.

Transistor Tester

This tester is intended to quickly check whether a transistor is functional or not and possibly also select two or more transistors with (approximately) equal gains. This is about the simplest conceivable test circuit, so don’t expect super accuracy. The circuit has been designed only to quickly carry out a brief check, when there is no time or equipment to carry out a thorough test. The operation is simple: in the position ‘battery test’ (S2 closed), the 10mA moving coil meter M1 in series with a 600 Ω resistor (R4 + R5) is connected to a 6 V battery. A current of 10mA will flow, resulting in full-scale deflection of the meter. When a transistor is being tested (S2 open, S3 in position 2 or 3) a current will flow through the base-emitter junction of the transistor under test, the value of which can be computed by dividing the voltage across R1 or R2 by its resistance.

Transistor Tester circuit diagramWith S3 in position 2 this will be (6 V – 0.6 V)/560 kΩ = approx. 10µA. If the transistor has a gain of 1000 it will cause a collector current (and therefore a meter current) of 10mA, causing full-scale deflection of the moving coil instrument. Therefore, the value indicated by the meter, when S3 is in position 2, has to be multiplied by a factor of 100 to obtain the gain of the transistor. In position 3 the base resistor is 10 times lower (R1 = 56 kΩ), so in this case the reading has to be multiplied by 10 to obtain the gain. It will be clear that position 2 of S3 is intended for high gains of up to 1000 and position 3 for gains of 0 to 100. The purpose of S1 is to reverse the polarity: the upper position drawn is for NPN transistors, the bottom for PNP types. If you have no moving coil instrument available, it is of course also possible to replace M1 with a digital meter.
