what is a bleeper?

[jarthel]

I found a circuit and it uses a 9-12V bleeper.

what is a bleeper? search for it in the net and even in the mouser catalog and I can't seem to get a definite answer.

thank you.

Hi jarthel,

Something that bleeps... harharhar... .

Cheers


Ok seriously, the best guess would be a something like a "Sonalert". Just apply voltage, the thing beeps. Piezo with an oscillator and a resonating cavity in a package.

I have a feeling it beeps but I would have used the word "beeper" instead of "bleeper".

thanks clem

Hi Jayel,

Well, different people, different pet names for things.. :-)

Have you gotten your delayed supply turn-on working yet...

Cheers

Isn't the Bleeper circuit used in radio and TV to "bleep" out cuss words on the air. Serious... the radio and TV director have a red button to activate a bleeper circuit to mute the mikes.

Ah... #%$^%$#&! B-E-E-P

decided to solder a led and resistor on the output of the ne555 as a test. I was thinking of that "high/low meter" we used in college experiments since this would do it easily.

anywany, it is working now and probably was working even before. my test methods (using a VOM) was incorrect. thank you

Great to hear!

dw8083 - yes, come to think of it!

A piezo audio indicator just to add a new name.

Key spec, "built-in oscillator"
