Piezoelectric Buzzer For External Drive The piezoelectric transducers (for External
Drive) produce exceptional sound output and efficiency all while meeting each
customers unique performance requirements. Piezo transducers are constructed
without magnets, instead they create sound mechanically via the piezoelectric effect.
Our piezo transducers are not equipped with a built in drive circuit. This
provides our customers with the flexibility of designing their own circuitry to
meet their specific needs. The advantage of using an external drive circuit is
that the piezo transducers can output sounds at multiple frequencies. Full
bridge circuits ramp up SPL for more peak-to-peak voltage, making our piezo
transducers a high output solution.

Have you ever faced a situation where, after wiring and powering up the camera, there's no image on the monitor? You've checked the software settings, confirmed the camera is working, and even verified the switch isn't the issue. So what's left? It's time to look into the power supply and cabling.
Sometimes, even with a project that seems solid, problems can still arise. You might not have the right tools, but the most reliable one is always the multimeter. Today, we'll walk through how to use a multimeter to detect breaks in wires and cables — a common issue when dealing with old surveillance systems.
Although the chance of a break in a new installation is low, it's quite frequent in older setups. Modern digital multimeters are widely used, and while we’ve covered their basic usage before, we won’t go over that again here. The challenge with detecting a wire break is that it’s hidden inside the insulation, making it hard to locate without the right technique.
Some people try measuring resistance directly, which can work, but it often involves cutting the cable multiple times to narrow down the fault — not efficient and time-consuming. There’s a smarter way: using induction and capacitance methods.
**Induction Method:**
1. First, lift the conductor core of the cable and make sure it doesn’t short-circuit or cause an electric shock. Keep the cable away from any grounded objects.
2. Choose an intact insulated core and connect it to a 220VAC live wire (without grounding).
3. If using an inductive voltage tester, touch the sensor with your finger and test the outer insulation of the live wire. If you're using a digital multimeter, set it to 20 or 200 mV, place a thin plastic sleeve on the red probe, hold the black probe, and test outside the insulation. Then move the probe away and compare readings. Normally, the reading near the live wire should be higher, like 0.4mV, and lower when moved away, like 0.15mV. Remember this difference for testing.
4. Run the tester along the cable. When the light dims or the reading drops significantly, you've found the break.
5. After testing, make sure to discharge the system safely.
**Capacitance Method:**
1. At both ends of the cable, hang all insulated cores, armor layers, etc.
2. Measure the capacitance of the intact core and the broken core at both ends. Record the values. The intact core should show similar capacitance on both ends. If the broken core shows a smaller sum than the intact one, it means there are two or more breaks.
3. Calculate the lengths based on the capacitance values. If the calculated length is longer than the actual, it’s a negative value; if shorter, it’s positive. Use this to determine the exact location of the break.
4. Adjust the long and short segments accordingly to pinpoint the exact position.
These techniques can save time and prevent unnecessary damage. Always stay safe, double-check connections, and use the right tools for accurate diagnosis.
