摘要:
A warning circuit particularly suited for indicating that an intermittently operated device has been operated for a predetermined cumulative length of time. The circuit utilizes a coulometer as a current integrator that accumulates the intermittent periods of time during which the device operates. At the end of the predetermined cumulative length of time, the impedance of the coulometer changes from a low level to a relative higher level. This change in impedance renders a first transistor conductive and results in a warning indication. A second transistor is latched into a state of conductivity that causes a feedback current to flow through the coulometer to maintain it in its high impedance condition. The warning indication is controlled by an amplifier circuit which, in turn, is controlled by the second transistor. Once the high impedance of the coulometer is achieved, the second transistor at all times retains its state of conductivity indicative of this condition, but the amplifier circuit is operative only when the intermittently operated device is in operation.
