Abstract

An alarm device and system which is adaptable to a variety of uses and conditions for protecting homes, equipment, buildings and the like by alerting or informing distant or nearby personnel to changes of conditions from within predetermined limits.

Claims

1. An alarm device comprising:

a protective loop, said loop including a coded module and a pair of conductors joined to said coded module, said conductors connected to normally opened and normally closed sensing means, a multi-functional alarm control means connected to said conductors, said multi-functional alarm control means containing an analyzer circuit for discriminating between normally open or normally closed violations and having high voltage and radio frequency input protection, said coded module and said analyzer circuit cooperating to prevent defeat of said sensing means.

2. An alarm device as claimed in claim 1 and including a trigger timer circuit for measuring the duration of the normally opened or normally closed violation.

3. An alarm device as claimed in claim 1 and including a telephone dialing means.

4. An alarm device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multi-functional alarm control means includes multi-alarm actuating circuits.

5. An alarm device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multi-alarm actuating circuits includes a siren means and telephone dialing means.

6. An alarm device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said multi-function alarm control means includes an exit timer, said exit timer delaying the arming of said multi-functional alarm control for a predetermined time interval.

7. An alarm device as claimed in claim 1, and including a remote control switch indicator panel.

8. An alarm device as claimed in claim 7, wherein said remote control switch indicator panel includes a key switch for arming the alarm device.

10. An alarm device as claimed in claim 7, wherein said remote control switch indicator panel includes an indicator means, said indicator means for determining sensing means status, activation status, power status and armed status.

11. An alarm device as claimed in claim 7, wherein said multi-functional alarm control means includes an entry timer, said entry timer being connected to a siren means and to a telephone dialing means, said entry timer selectively delaying the activation of said siren means and said telephone dialing means for a specified time interval.

9. An alarm device as claimed in claim 12 wherein said key switch cooperates with said multi-functional alarm control means for disarming the control device by coded switching procedures.
