Two Line Intercom Cum Telephone Line Changeover

The circuit presented here can be used for connecting two telephones in parallel and also as a 2-line intercom. Usually a single telephone is connected to a telephone line. If another telephone is required at some distance, a parallel line is taken for connecting the other telephone. In this simple parallel line operation, the main problem is loss of privacy besides interference from the other phone. This problem is obviated in the circuit presented here. Under normal condition, two telephones (telephone 1 and 2) can be used as intercom while telephone 3 is connected to the lines from exchange. In changeover mode, exchange line is disconnected from telephone 3 and gets connected to telephone 2.

For operation in intercom mode, one has to just lift the handset of phone 1 and then press switch S1. As a result, buzzer PZ2 sounds. Simultaneously, the side tone is heard in the speaker of handset of phone 1. The person at phone 2 could then lift the handset and start conversation. Similar procedure is to be followed for initiation of the conversation from phone 2 using switch S2. In this mode of operation, a 3-pole, 2-way slide-switch S3 is to be used as shown in the figure. In the changeover mode of operation, switch S3 is used to changeover the telephone line for use by telephone 2. The switch is normally in the intercom mode and telephone 3 is connected to the exchange line.

Before changing over the exchange line to telephone 2, the person at telephone 1 may inform the person at telephone 2 (in the intercom mode) that he is going to changeover the line for use by him (the person at telephone 2). As soon as changeover switch S3 is flipped to the other position, 12V supply is cut off and telephones 1 and 3 do not get any voltage or ring via the ring-tone-sensing unit. Once switch S3 is flipped over for use of exchange line by the person at telephone 2, and the same (switch S3) is not flipped back to normal position after a telephone call is over, the next telephone call via exchange lines will go to telephone 2 only and the ringtone-sensing circuit will still work. This enables the person at phone 3 to know that a call has gone through. If the handset of telephone 3 is lifted, it is found to be dead. To make telephone 3 again active, switch S3 should be changed over to its normal position.

Off Hook Telephone Line Indicator

The circuit is designed to connect in parallel with the telephone line, to monitor and detect if any telephone in the same line is busy, with the indication of the LED and which is self-powered so that it does not provide any load on a telephone line.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) – a semiconductor diode that is commonly a source of light when electric current pass through it Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) – a device utilized for switching and amplification of signals BS108 – a 250 mA and 200 Volts small signal MOSFET designed for high voltage, high speed switching applications such as relay drivers, CMOS logic, line drivers, TTL or microprocessor to high voltage interface and high voltage display drivers Diode Bridge – also known as bridge rectifier which has four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration where the output voltage has the same polarity with either polarity of the input voltage 1N4007 – a general purpose plastic rectifier with reverse voltage from 50 Volts to 1000 Volts and forward current of 1.0 Ampere

When none of the telephone lines is in use or on-hook, the voltage across the line is around 48V. In this state, the gate of transistor Q2 is shorted to its source during the conduction of Q1. This causes the LED to be disabled while Q2 is turned OFF. When one telephone extension along the telephone line changes to off-hook or in use condition, a voltage drop from 5V to 15V is detected. This will in turn cause Q1 to turn OFF because of the very low voltage across the gate of Q1 which is equal to 6% of the line voltage. Transistor Q2 then will be biased at around half of the line voltage.

 The sudden line drop of voltage triggers Q2 to light up the LED that will give a sign that the line is in use. Using the same line, the circuit is unseen with other telephone devices. A current-limiting resistor is used to maintain the low current of LED1 while the local telephone line parameters dictate the variation of other component’s values. The power of the circuit is provided by the telephone line. Other voltage protection may be used with some reliable design in addition to the current-limiting resistor. This is important to avoid any grounding effects from conducting surfaces within the circuit.

To ensure that transistor Q1 is fully biased while the line is free or not in use where LED1 is OFF, a 500K ohm MOSFET trimmer is used for the desired adjustment. A MOSFET is a three-terminal semiconductor component with a conducting channel in its output and a built-in capacitor at its input. To increase the values of any of the two resistors connected to the gate of Q2, a 200V MOSFET can be used in the place of Q2 if BS108 is not available. However, plain transistors like the bipolar junction can be used but with lower values to allow greater currents to pass through the line that is not in use. The bridge rectifier comprising of four 1N4007 diodes are performing the conversion of AC input into DC output.

MOSFET can function in two ways. The first is known as depletion mode wherein the channel shows its maximum conductance in the absence of a voltage on the gate. The second way that the MOSFET can function is known as enhancement mode wherein the device is not conducting even in the absence of a voltage on the gate because no channel is produced. A channel is being created with the application of a voltage to the gate. To generate better conductivity, greater voltage to the gate is required.

MOSFET drivers are applied in electronic motor control for different types of motors. Also, they are specifically used with long duty cycles, high operating frequency above 200 KHZ, lower output power, and wide load variations. The largest application of MOSFETs are the switched mode power supplies and in battery charging applications. In transducer drivers for high power devices such as light bulbs and motors, large current output with a small input is provided by MOSFETs. Since they are more non-linear than BJTs while producing less distortion, they can be utilized with Hi-Fi amplifiers. In constructing integrated circuits, MOSFETs are very useful since they can be made very compact. Although MOSFETs can get damaged by static electricity at higher voltages, they still provide several advantages as compared to other transistors which include faster switching time than BJT, lower losses than BJT, very small switching current, and least effects of temperature.

This telephone line indicator does not only tell when a telephone line is in use if a plurality of telephones are all setup to the same telephone line, but also prevents interruptions during personal calls. Additionally, it can also help to prevent costly and unwanted disruption of modem calls and fax, it alerts a person when a call is done and the phone is free to use, and the LED light indicates the line is in use.

To avoid any injury, it is a prerequisite to take extra precautionary measures when connecting any circuit to the telephone lines, which can produce life-threatening voltages during normal operation. During a lightning storm, it is better to keep distance from telephone lines.. Legal aspects are imposed in different countries for connecting things to telephone lines. The circuit should be better built with a plug-in cord for easy removal in case of fault occurrences. Otherwise, it would be best to consult a licensed telephone operator.

Telephone Conversation recorder

This circuit enables  automatic switching-on  of  the  tape  recorder  when  the  handset  is  lifted.  The tape recorder gets switched off when the handset is replaced. The signals are suit-ably  attenuated  to  a  level  at  which  they can be recorded using the MICIN socket of the tape recorder. Points X and Y in the circuit are connected to the telephone lines. Resistors R1 and R2 act as a voltage divider.

The voltage appearing across R2 is fed to the MIC-IN socket of the tape recorder. The values of R1 and R2 may be changed depending on the input impedance of the tape recorders MIC-IN  terminals.  Capacitor C1 is used for blocking the flow of DC. The second part of the circuit controls relay RL1, which is used to switch on/off the tape recorder.A  voltage  of  48  volts  appears across  the  telephone  lines  in on-hook  condition. This  voltage drops  to  about  9  volts  when  the handset  is  lifted.  Diodes  D1 through  D4  constitute  a  bridge rectifier/polarity  guard.

This ensures that transistor T1 gets voltage of proper polarity, irrespective of the polarity of the telephone lines.During on-hook condition, the output from the bridge (48V DC) passes through 12V zener D5 and is applied to the base of transistor T1 via the voltage divider comprising resistors R3 and R4. This switches on transistor T1 and its collector is pulled low. This, in turn, causes transistor T2 to cut off and relay RL1 is not energised. When the telephone handset is lifted, the voltage across points X and Y falls below 12 volts and so zener diode D5 does not conduct.

As a result, base of transistor  T1  is  pulled  to  ground  potential  via resistor R4 and thus is cut off. Thus, base of  transistor  T2  gets  forward  biased  via resistor R5, which results in the energisation  of  relay  RL1. The  tape  recorder  is switched on and recording begins. The tape recorder should be kept loaded with a cassette and the record button of the tape recorder should remain pressed to enable it to record  the conversation as soon as the handset is lifted. Capacitor  C2  ensures  that  the  re-lay is not switched on-and-off repeatedly when a number is being dialled in pulse dialling mode.
