1. A cell site environmental control system, comprising:
- one or more switch circuits configured to cause delivery of monitoring signals in response to signals produced by one or more detectors;
a connecting device coupled to the switch circuits and configured to receive the monitoring signals; and
a central control module coupled to the connecting device and configured to analyze the monitoring signals and generate environmental control instructions.

Abstract
A cell site environmental control system includes multiple relays, each monitoring a specific device whose status may have an impact on the environmental condition at the cell site. The cell site environmental control system includes a microprocessor-based central control module that issues environmental control instructions upon receipt of monitoring signals from the monitoring relays. The monitoring signals are captured at a punch-down block that has connections to the monitoring relays and routed from the punch-down block to the central control module.

15. In a cell site environmental control system including:
-
one or more switch circuits configured to deliver monitoring signals, in response to signals produced by one or more detectors, to a connecting device; and
a central control module configured to operate environmental control devices in response to the monitoring signals, the improvement comprising;
at least one connection from the connecting device to the central control module, in place of a connection from additional switch circuits, configured to deliver the monitoring signals, to the central control module, so that the central control module can receive the monitoring signals from the connecting device to generate environmental control instructions to operate the environmental control devices. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
