Danger alarm system
First Claim
1. In a danger alarm system utilizing a plurality of alarm devices connected to a central exchange by means of call circuits, in which the data of the individual alarm devices can be monitored in the central exchange by means of test control units and can be evaluated by means of an evaluation installation for the formation of alarm or trouble signals, the combination of a memory, provided in the central exchange, in which there is stored seizure as well as various characteristic data for each alarm device connectable in the system, an evaluation installation, a line sampling installation for cyclically sampling the individual call circuits and supplying the evaluation installation with alarm data arriving from the individual lines, memory sampling means operatively connecting the memory and evaluation installation for sampling, upon each step of the line sampling installation, the storage locations for all alarm devices connected to the line involved, whereby the memory content is supplied to the evaluation installation for the formation of set values, said evaluation installation including means for comparing the data arriving from the individual call circuits with the set values formed from the stored data, and means responsive to predetermined comparison results for the formation of interference or alarm signals.

Abstract
A danger alarm system, for example, fire alarm system, utilizing a plurality of detectors which are connected to a central exchange over respective call circuits, the central exchange is provided with a memory in which characteristic data for each connectable detector can be stored. Data is cyclically sampled from the respective individual detectors and simultaneously therewith rated values for the corresponding detector are formed from the stored data and compared with the sampled data and, if necessary, alarm or trouble signals are derived from the comparison results.
