摘要:
A single-wire loop alarm system in which an identification module is placed across each alarm switch. Any module which is across an open switch is powered by the loop current and, in response to a pulse count in the loop representing its address, changes the loop impedance in order to report on its status. The loop current may alternate in direction so that oppositely poled modules may be used, thus allowing a larger number of powered modules to accommodated at the same time.

A signal transmission system has a plurality of sensors, a plurality of modulation circuits connected to the sensors, a single demodulation circuit and a single power supply line for connecting the modulation circuits to the demodulation circuit. Each of the sensors has a resistor-capacitor type oscillation circuit of which the capacity varies with the variation of a physical quantity to be measured and outputs an oscillation output of the oscillation circuit as a sensor signal. Each of the modulation circuit has a one-shot circuit having a predetermined set time different from another one-shot circuit of another modulation circuit for sustaining the sensor signal for the predetermined set time. Each of the modulation circuits further has a transistor for switching and a zener diode of a zener voltage different from that of another zener diode of another modulation circuit. The transistor connects the zener diode to the electric power line to lower the voltage of the electric power line to the zener voltage when the sensor signal is inputted. The demodulation circuit has a plurality of comparators and a logic circuit. Each of the comparators compares the voltage of the power supply line with a reference voltage to generate a comparison signal. The logic circuit performs a logical operation of the comparison signals from the comparators to obtain the sensor signals at different output terminals.

摘要:
Sensors are carried by structural components, such as floors, walls, etc., of the building within the secure area. The sensor detects deflections of the various structural members in response to changes of the loading of structural members caused by the intruder and generates signals which are transmitted to a control center which receives the intrusion signals and generates alarm signals.The intrusion signals are transmitted to the control center through the building structure as impulsive loads applied to the building structure by transducers located in the secure area which are responsive to the signals generated by the sensors.The alarm signals generated in the control center are transmitted to security systems located in the control center, such as automatic door locking mechanisms, lights, audible alarms, disabling gas injecting systems, etc., by means of coded impulsive loads applied to the building structure by transducers located in the control center which are responsive to alarm signals.

摘要:
Security equipment comprises a plurality of normally-open or normally-closed switch contacts connected in a loop circuit to a central control circuit. Each pair of switch contacts has a respective resistor connected in parallel therewith and the control circuit is operable to detect changes in resistance due, for example, to an intruder operating one of the switches.
摘要:
A system for supervising and monitoring normal or abnormal state in rooms or equipments in a building or buildings in which information signals are delivered from a signal transmitter through lines to a signal receiver, the information signals being discriminated by the signal receiver for supervising and monitoring the rooms or equipments. The system includes a signal transmitter for transmitting information signals of normal or abnormal state in rooms or equipments so as to generate and transmit the signals of different voltage responsive to varied kinds of the information signals. The signal receiver comprises an information detecting means for detecting the information signals of different voltage, a voltage discriminator circuit for discriminating the output from said information detecting means, and an indicator circuit indicating the signals delivered in response to the discriminated information.

摘要:
A device for monitoring a plurality of remote stations for disorders in which a high-impedance station line circuit is shunted by a disorder-responsive station switch with a distinctive lower resistance, whereupon a relay actuates an alarm and switches the station line circuit into an ohmmeter circuit. The storage-type digital ohmmeter indicates the location of the responding station; its readout is blocked after receipt of the first reading.
