Abstract

1333584 Alarm systems ROSEMOUNT ENG CO Ltd 27 Aug 1971 [27 Aug 1970] 41355/70 Heading G4N An alarm system comprises a pair of wires 13, 14 fed with alternating potential with respect to a reference point 23 and a pair of diodes 15, 16 of opposite polarity for supplying A.C. from the wires 13, 14 to a sensing impedance 17 and means 11, 24 for monitoring changes in the D.C. in the wires 13, 14. In a burglar alarm, the sensing impedance 17 may be the capacitance of a length of wire attached to a wall or floor. In the balanced system shown in Fig. 1, two sensing impedances 17 and 20 are employed, the D.C. signal at D, F being normally zero but, in the presence of an intruder, the polarity indicates which impedance 17, 20 is being approached. An RF source 10 may be employed. Fig. 3 shows the circuit in block 11. The system is applicable to vehicles or boats. If impedance 17 is inductive, it may be changed by means of a metal plate attached to a door or operated by a bimetallic strip in a fire alarm system. Impedance 17 may alternatively be a resistor or capacitor having a large temperature coefficient.
