hello guys
i designed a simple alarm circuit for a pump system we have at our office. this pump system has a signal pin to connect a external alarm (the one im trying to design). This signal behaves in the following way:
*0V when active
*2.62V when inactive
with a LM741, i made a zero-volt comparator to which i connected a led and a buzzer to its output. the idea then, is to compare input with the reference (0v)
after some tests, alarm goes off when signal pin has 0V, opamp has around 10V on its output.
BUT, when input signal has 2.62V (in the case when inactive), the opamp has around 2 volts on its output. this is enough to make the buzzer and led work. the idea is to have 0v on its output when input signal is 2.5v (or different than 0v)
i would appreciate any help give so i can improve my little circuit
thanks!!

heres is my schematic. "señal" means "signal"
