Abstract:
A system for monitoring and controlling an area comprising a controller for controlling system operational functions and responsive to at least one remote-control transmitter. The transmitter transmits system commands to the controller in a code word having a fixed word and a hopping word therein. The fixed and hopping words are scrambled using a format word resident in the transmitter and sent to the controller only during a learn mode.
Abstract:
A method of indicating a degree of incoming threat to an electronically secured area comprising the steps of sensor sensing a degree of threat delivered to a secured area and generating an electric signal proportional to the degree of threat; analyzing the signal to determine if it is a low degree of threat or a high degree of threat; and producing either a first pulse representing low degree of threat or separately producing the first pulse and a second pulse representing a signal having both low degree of threat and high degree of threat.
Abstract:
A security system for monitoring a protected area and sounding an alarm including a plurality of sensors arranged about a protected area for sensing incoming threat, device for generating at least one pulse for each sensor activated by the incoming threat to the area, an alarm controller for receipt of the pulses and sounding of an alert, and a single wire connecting outputs of the sensors to the controller for transmitting the pulses generated by the plurality of sensors to the controller.
