Nowadays security is the prime concern in our day to day lives. Through this secure access system, only that person can enter into a restricted area who knows [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]the correct code. This simple circuit is built around a transistor with a few more components like relay, diode, capacitor, switches and resistor.In this circuit, switch placement is such that switches 1 to 4, which when pressed in a sequential manner, energize the relay for a specific interval of time to unlock the solenoid-operated lock. If you press any of the buttons from switches 5 to 8 in between the correct code then it will put the transistor to ground and relay will not be energized.
