Smoke detector maintenance indication method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A method of displaying status information of a plurality of smoke detectors, comprising:
- obtaining first data including a first measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of a first smoke detector, the first measurement value falling within a first range;
obtaining second data including a second measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of a second smoke detector, the second measurement value falling within a second range, the second range different from the first range; and
providing as human-perceptible output first information representative of the first measurement value and second information representative of the second measurement value, the first information and the second information falling within a uniform range.

Abstract
A method of displaying status information of a plurality of smoke detectors includes obtaining first data including a first measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of a first smoke detector, the first measurement value falling within a first range. The method also includes obtaining second data including a second measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of a second smoke detector, the second measurement value falling within a second range, the second range different from the first range. The method further includes displaying first information representative of the first measurement value and second information representative of the second measurement value, the first information and the second information falling within a uniform range.

11. An apparatus for providing status information of a plurality of smoke detectors, comprising:
-
an output device operable to provide a human-perceptible output;
a processing circuit operably coupled to the display device, the processing circuit operable to obtain first data including a first measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of a first smoke detector, the first measurement value falling within a first range;
obtain second data including a second measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of a second smoke detector, the second measurement value falling within a second range, the second range different from the first range; and
cause the output device to provide as human perceptible output first information representative of the first measurement value and second information representative of the second measurement value, the first information and the second information falling within a uniform range. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A smoke detector arrangement, comprising
a first smoke detector operable to generate a first measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of the first smoke detector, the first measurement value having a first range; -
a second smoke detector operable to generate a second measurement value representative of a maintenance condition of the second smoke detector, the second value having a second range;
a display device;
a processing circuit operably coupled to the display device, the first smoke detector and the second smoke detector, the processing circuit operable to obtain first data including the first measurement value, obtain second data including the second measurement value, and cause the display device to display first information representative of the first measurement value and second information representative of the second measurement value, the first information and the second information falling within a uniform range. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
