Intrusion detector test circuit which automatically disables a detected-event indicator
First Claim
1. An intrusion detector test circuit for testing an intrusion detector, comprising:
- sensing means for generating a sensing signal in response to a detection of an installer testing the intrusion detector;
indicating means for receiving said sensing signal and for generating a detected-event indication in response thereto;
switch means interposed between said sensing means and said indicating means for receiving said sensing signal and, in a first state, for supplying said sensing signal to said indicating means, and, in a second state, for not supplying said sensing signal to said indicating means;
first state setting means for setting said switch means to said first state; and
second state setting means for automatically setting said switch means to said second state after a lapse of a predetermined time period.

Abstract
An intrusion detector test circuit automatically disables a detected-event indicator from receiving sensing signals. A sensor generates a sensing signal in response to a detection of an installer testing the intrusion detector. An indictor means receives the sensing signals and generates detected-event indications in response to the sensing signals. A switch interposed between the sensor and the indicator receives the sensing signals. In a first state, the switch supplies the sensing signals to the indicator; in a second state, the switch means does not supply the sensing signals to the indicator. A first state setter sets the switch to the first state, and a second state setter automatically sets the switch to the second state after a lapse of a predetermined time period.

15. An intrusion detector test circuit for testing an intrusion detector, the intrusion detector being housed within a housing and having a sensing means for generating a sensing signal in response to a detection of an installer testing the intrusion detector, said intrusion detector test circuit comprising:
-
indicating means for receiving said sensing signal and for generating a detected-event indication in response thereto; switch means interposed between said sensing means and said indicating means for receiving said sensing signal and, in a first state, for supplying said sensing signal to said indicating means, and, in a second state, for not supplying said sensing signal to said indicating means; first state setting means for setting said switch means to said first state by applying a first switch state control signal to said switch means; and second state setting means for automatically setting said switch means to said second state after a lapse of a predetermined time period by applying a second switch control signal after said lapse of said predetermined time period; and tamper switch means operable in two modes, actuated when said housing is removed and aleactuated when said housing is replaced, wherein in a first mode actuating said tamper switch causes said intrusion detector to generate an alarm, and wherein in a second mode actuating said tamper switch causes said first state setting means to apply said first switch state control signal to said switch means. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
