Mains Remote Control: Decoder
Published in issue 312, July 2002
This receiver/decoder forms part of a simple mains network remote control system, which also includes the ‘Mains Remote Transmitter’ and the ‘Mains Remote Encoder’.The decoder is built around IC1, which is a Holtek type HT12D or HT12F. For the receiver we use the same circuit as in the ‘mains remote switch’, namely a passive circuit tuned to approximately 143 kHz, since we assume that the transmitter is powerful enough to provide an adequate signal.
Resistors: R1 = 100kOhm R2 = 47kOhm R3 = 1MOhm R4 = 330kOhm R5 = 10MOhm P1 = 25kOhm preset P2 = 100kOhm preset P3 = 50kOhm preset Capacitors: C1 = 100pF C2 = 1µ F MKT, lead pitch 5mm or 7.5mm C3 = 22nF 275VAC, Class X2 C4 = 22 n ceramic, lead pitch 5mm C5,C7 = 220pF C6 = 2nF2 ceramic, lead pitch 5mm C8,C9,C10 = 100nF C11 = 100nF ceramic, lead pitch 5mm C12 = 10µ F 63V radial C13 = 470µ F 25V radial C14-C17 = 47nF ceramic, lead pitch 5mm Inductor: L1 = 470µ H miniature choke Semiconductors: D1,D2 = BAT85 T1,T2 = BC547 IC1 = HT12D/F (Holtek) (Farnell) * IC2 = 4069U IC3 = 4538 IC4 = 7812 Miscellaneous: K1 = 4-way pinheader K2 = 2-way PCB terminal block, lead pitch 7.5mm S1 = 8-wayDIP-switch S2 = 4-way DIP-switch * B1 = B80C1500 (rectangular) (80V piv, 1.5A) TR1 = N30 ring core 16x6.3 mm EPCOS B64290L45X830 (Farnell) * TR2 = mains transformer 15V/1.5VA, short circuit resistant, e.g., Block type VB 1,5/ 1/ 15 * see text
