    摘要: In a fire alarm system individual fire alarms are connected in series by reporting lines with a central signal station. In order to be able to connect a greater number of fire alarms with the individual reporting or signaling lines and/or in order to be able to dispatch an increased amount of current through the reporting lines, the reporting or signaling lines from the last fire alarm of a line are returned back to the central signal station in the form of a ring circuit or loop. Upon the absence of signals at a reporting line an interrogation device is reversed, so that there can be ensured that in the event of a line disturbance or breakdown of a fire alarm the remainder of the fire alarms still can be utilized for giving a signal. The individual fire alarms are structured such that during assembly the inputs and outputs can be mutually interchanged.

    摘要: Measuring stations or locations are connected in cascade to signal lines and transmit measured or measuring values to a central signal station at which the measured values are linked or appropriately processed so as to obtain distinct malfunction or alarm signals. Upon activation of the monitoring system all measuring stations are disconnected by a change in voltage appearing on the signal line. Then, the measuring stations are reconnected to the signal line in a timewise staggered fashion by means of switching elements present at each measuring station in such a manner that each measuring station additionally reconnects a subsequent measuring station to the line voltage after a predetermined time-delay. Address storages are present at the measuring stations and are charged or occupied in a predetermined sequence by the central signal station with addresses associated with the individual measuring stations. The address storages are thereafter locked prior to the time that the next following measuring station at the same signal line is connected to the signal voltage by the switching element.

    摘要: Due to aging of the insulating materials arranged between the electrodes in ionization fire alarms or detectors the insulating efficiency of these thus formed so-called insulating paths or spans deteriorates in the course of time despite, or maybe even due to the cleaning operations performed upon such ionization fire alarms. To ensure that the insulating capacity does not fall below a critical value the insulating path or span is formed by at least two different insulating materials. The materials are arranged in such a manner that the creepage path between the electrodes extends across all the different insulating materials. This principle also may be applied to other measuring devices which require a high input resistance of an amplifier stage.

    摘要: In the apparatus for signalling an alarm, for example, in a gas or fire detecting installation, a detector is reset after a first response and the time duration until the next-following detector response is determined and classified with respect to three classes of time periods. When the time duration until the further detector response is beyond a predetermined upper or outer time limit, no alarm signal is released and the apparatus returns into its original state. When the further detector response occurs between two time limits, the alarm is immediately signalled. When the further detector response occurs prior to a lower one of the two time limits, there is carried out still one further test during which the detector is once again reset. The alarm signal will only be released if an additional further detector response is still observed prior to the upper time limit. In this manner the reliability of alarm signalling can be enhanced and the frequency of the occurrence of false alarms, particularly due to the occurrence of short-time or brief spurious conditions, can be significantly reduced.

    摘要: In the monitoring system which is intended for buildings, rooms and objects a multitude of measuring or detecting and signaling stations are series connected to a central signal station. Each of the detecting and signalling stations transmits information about its instantaneous state, which may be any one of standby, warning, alarm, malfunction, to the central signal station by means of an electronic circuit member. The electronic circuit member affords the following advantages: identification of the number and of the location of the detecting and signalling station in the case of changes in the state of the detecting and signalling station; detection and localization of malfunctions such as a short-circuit or an interruption in the signal line; cut-off of the short-circuited signal line section from the remaining signal line; saving of installation expense; greater flexibility in the evaluation of the states of the detecting and signalling stations and in the initiation of appropriate measures or counter-actions; operation of control devices via the signal line; monitoring of the electronic circuit member.

    摘要: A smoke detector is disclosed having a radiation source operated in a pulsed mode. Externally of a direct radiation region of the radiation source there is arranged a radiation receiver which, in the presence of smoke or other particles emanating from a combustion process and located in the radiation region, is impinged by scattered radiation and delivers an output signal to an evaluation circuit. The evaluation circuit contains switching elements which, when the number of source output signals or pulses exceeds a predetermined threshold value for the number of source output pulses, delivers an alarm signal. Near to the radiation receiver there is arranged a reference cell in the direct radiation beam of the radiation source, this reference cell controlling the emission of radiation by the radiation source. Further, there is provided circuitry which, in the presence of a slow change in the amplitude of the receiver output pulse, adjusts an amplitude threshold value set for the amplitude of the receiver output pulse at a rate corresponding to a time-constant of more than one minute. Consequently, there is obtained an output signal of the radiation receiver which is dependent upon the smoke density and which is independent of the contamination or soiling of the smoke detector.

    摘要: A smoke detector contains two radiation transmitters and two radiation receivers. Each of the radiation transmitters emits in a different spectral region, for instance, one emits above and the other one below 600 nm. One part of the radiation of both radiation transmitters is conducted via a measuring path, which is accessible to smoke, to one of the receivers constituting a measuring radiation receiver, and another part of such radiation is conducted via a comparison path, which is not accessible to smoke, to the other of the receivers constituting a comparison radiation receiver. Connected to both radiation receivers is an evaluation circuit which forms from the measuring radiation intensities prevailing in the two spectral regions and from the comparison radiation intensities prevailing in the same spectral regions a function of the type: ##EQU1## By suitably adjusting or selecting the components of the evaluation circuit, the coefficients a and b are selected such that in the absence of smoke in the measuring path, A becomes zero and in the presence of smoke such is proportional to the smoke density.

    摘要: A fire alarm is provided with a temperature sensitive element formed of a shape memory alloy, which following cold working, upon heating to a critical temperature, typically for instance about 70.degree. C., returns to the original impressed shape and also retains this shape even after subsequent recooling. Due to the movement of the element there is triggered a self-holding alarm signal, either directly by closing contacts or indirectly. Resetting of the fire alarm can be accomplished by mechanically cold working the element, or by using two-way shape memory alloys through cooling to a lower temperature threshold which can be below room or ambient temperature. A further beneficial construction is realized by combining the arrangement with a different type of fire detection or sensing element, for instance by arranging a shape memory alloy element in a scattered radiation-smoke detector. Upon reaching a critical temperature, the shape memory alloy element moves into the radiation region, or when used in an ionization fire alarm, the shape memory alloy element screens the radioactive radiation source and reduces the ionic current. Suitable shape memory alloys are, by way of example, nickel 55/titanium 45, or nickel 45/titanium 45/copper 10.

    摘要: A smoke detector contains a pulse-operated radiation source and a radiation receiver arranged externally of the region directly irradiated by the radiation source. The radiation receiver, in the presence of smoke in the radiation region, is impinged by scattered radiation and delivers output pulses. There is provided an evaluation circuit which generates a blocking pulse, and which inputs a resetting signal to a counter device in consequence of the difference of the blocking pulse and output pulse of the radiation receiver. The counter or counting device, in the absence of a resetting signal, is switched further and upon reaching a predetermined counter state triggers an alarm signal. High-frequency electrical disturbances which arise, as long as the radiation source delivers radiation pulses, at most can generate an additional resetting signal for the counter, so that the integrity of the smoke detector against triggering of false alarms is enhanced. If there is connected in parallel to the radiation receiver a NTC-resistor, then there is obtained a smoke detector which responds to a further combustion criterion (temperature).

    摘要: The detector has first and second circuits which are interconnected. The first circuit senses the emission of a flame at least in the wavelength range of carbon dioxide and produces square-wave signals corresponding to the flicker frequency. The second circuit senses short wavelength emission with a wavelength shorter than 3 .mu.m and produces square-wave signals corresponding to the flicker frequency of the emission. The interconnecting means permits the alarm means to be activated only when the first circuit signals and the second circuit signals are present simultaneously and with the same direction, to indicate that the flicker frequency is the same for both emissions. An integrator prevents spurious coinciding signals from resulting in an alarm and a reset circuit periodically resets the integrator. Various specific photoelectric means are described.
