Multi Switching System with automatic Time Delay Off (MSTDO)

Energy conservation is the prime purpose of the design MSTDO. One particular application of the MSTDO is pressing of stairway lamps in a multi-storey building. When one desires to reach a certain floor level using the stairway, see figure below (A)

, he will return on the stairway lamps (L1,L2,L3…Ln) by pressing any one of the stairways push button switches (S1,S2,S3…N3). A sufficient time is allowed for him to reach his desire floor level destination. He need not turn off or push any switches to turn off the stairway lamp. The stairway lamp will be automatically turn off.

Control Operation

Referring to figure below (B), the neon lamps (N1,N2,N3…Nn) together with push button switches (S1,S2,S3…Sn) respectively installed in each stairway level are initially lighted on. The neon lamps are guide someone to reach on the stairway switches especially at night time. The stairway lamp (L1,L2,L3…Ln). Contact C (11-12)n will open to de-energize (light-off) condition.

Pressing any one of the stairway switches (S1,S2,S3…Sn) will energize the timer TR ( 2-7) and contactor C. Normally open instantaneous contact TR (1-3) will close to maintain the timer (2-7) and contactor C continuously energized even the press push button is stop. Contact C (1-2,3-4,5-6) will close to energized the stairway lamps L1,L2,L3…Ln) contact C (11-12) will open to de-energized the neon lamps (N1,N2,N3…Nn).

(B) Schematic diagram of the control circuit for “Multi Switching System with Automatic Time Delay Off”.

After several minute, the time sufficiently set to allow a person travel from the lowest to the highest floor level, the normally closed time delay contact TR (8-5) will open to de-energized the timer TR (2-7) and contactor C. Contacts C (1-2,3-4.5-6) will open to de-energized ,the stairway lamps (L1,L2,L3..Ln). Contact C ( 11-12) will close to its initial condition to energized the neon lamps (N1,N2,N3..Nn). Delay contact TR (8-5) will close and instantaneous contact TR (1-3) will open.If it is desire again to energize the stairway lamps (L1,L2,L3…Ln) one has to press again any one of the stairway way push button switches (S1,S2,S3…Sn).
