I am finishing out a music room in my basement, and about to start putting in baseboard. The problem is that I put in 2 one half inch sheets of sheetrock with a layer of green glue for sound insulation. The 2 stud sensors I have, a zircon and a stanley, are old and probably cheap, and while they...

Photo sensor to control compressor

There is a similar thread on Woodnet, but that one has already degenerated into petty bickering. I plan to soundproof the closet in my workshop and use it to house the DC and compressor. Of course, being out of sight, out of mind, I'm pretty sure that one day the compressor will come up in the...

High Dust Alarm sensor

A few weeks ago I posted that I could not find the sensor a few of us used in our DC high dust alarms I designed, so I thought it might no longer be available. I was in Lowes the other night and found a new rack of them! If you plan to build my high dust alarm, the sensor you want is a Summit...

DC Controller Circuit - 03

When the light beam to the photoeye is blocked by sawdust in a full bin (here it is done artificially), the photoeye switches power to its Red output and energizes the ''Ice Cube'' relay coil, tripping the normally open contacts to the closed position and opening the contacts carrying power to...

Dust Collector Bin Sensor with Service Switch

I have modified my sensor circuit to include a double throw, single pole (DTSP) switch adjacent to the photoeye. In the UP position, the sensor is on and blockage of the photoeye trips the relay, shutting down the system. In the DOWN position, the relay remains energized, keeping the DC motor...
