NC open with condensor microphone

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for a normally closed cable that opens briefly when a shot is detected, specifically for use with the CED8000 electronic timer in a shooting competition. The user requires two such cables, each equipped with a microphone and a jack, to accurately record shot times for two shooters targeting five targets. The manufacturer does not provide these cables or guidance on creating them. The setup is designed for fast-paced shooting events, where the timer must register shots quickly, typically within 2-4 seconds. Ultimately, the user indicated that their problem was resolved, although the specific solution was not detailed in the thread.

Hi all,

I am using an electronic timer when shooting (CED8000). This also has the possibility to record man vs man. For this I need a normally closed cable for each shooter. The cable should open for a very short time when a shot is "heard".

The manufacturer does not sell such cables, and has no tips on how to make them.

I hope someone here can show me how to make such cables.

t is for the CED8000 found here http://www.cedhk.com/show.php/Object518

have a nice day
Arne

What are you shooting? Is this for paint ball fights?

Why do you need to switch the cables? Do you have a circuit diagram of the present setup?

What are you timing?
 
Scenario is:

2 shoters with each 5 targets.
The timer records, among other things, the time for each shot and total time.

So I need 2 cables, each with a micophone at one end and a jack in the other end. The cables should be normaly closed and open for each shot. The opening of the closed cable will be recorded in the timer as a shot, and the time recorded.

(The competition is to shoot down the 5 targets fastest, and is done for all calibers, .22 - .38)

The shots come very fast and therefore the circuit must close again very fast after each shot. The normal time for shooting down the 5 targets is around 2-4 seconds.

Hope you have an idea :-)
 
Problem is solved.
Thanks anyway
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
