Abstract
A device that comprises of a Main Operating Unit (surface mounted) <B>A</B> is primarily mains powered via electric cable <B>B</B> (with integrated battery back-up, alarm and dial out device); method of communication via connection into telephone socket via cable <B>C</B>; the alarm function set in motion by the activation of one or multiple 'remote operated' sensors <B>D (smoke), E (heat), F (moisture), G (PIR)</B> with no 'physical' connection back to <B>A</B>, however, sensor type <B>G</B> does require the self moulding 'Feeler-com õ ' cable <B>H</B>. The 'Feeler-com õ ' cable <B>H</B> must be drawn down from the 'notification unit (<B>G</B>) to underside of material floor or deck finish, the system requiring one or all types of sensors to be applied, these being a varying numbers, dependant upon function / need of the property for which it is installed.
Description
Page 1 Ok 3 'The AD-ON Safety System' Approximately nine years ago, the
emersion tank serving my property failed (through excessive scaling / corrosion), causing water to leak through the pitted cylinder. Undetected until too late, the material damage was excessive to both first and ground floors.
With the principle of 'need' for an early warning device established, the purpose of justification for such a device in terms of marketability was required. With now other obvious factors arising, e.g. unpredictable weather patterns (flooding / water ingress) and the enormous growth in both domestic and commercial construction (poor / faulty manufacturing, poor / lack of maintenance, shortfall of skilled labour / poor workmanship, possible 'general' failure and vandalism), the lack of simple, affordable and effective early 'defection / notification' of such events became very apparent.
The initial purpose of this 'development' was to provide an 'early warning' system to water ingress and/or spread, be it natural (inclement weather / flooding) or man-made (leaking utility appliance, damaged pipes, or similar), that in addition to such 'audible' warning, actuates a preset sequence of commands to trigger an .. 'integrated' pre-programmed dial out device / 'pre-recorded' statement and local alarm, such mechanism being capable of connecting to telecommunication Iandlines, mobile phones and, with incorporating a 'text statement' delivery, a pager also. Up to 'six' preset numbers can be programmed into the number memory, along with 'one' pre-recorded statement and 'one' text message.
Not a 'preventative' tool, it does afford an effective means of allowing those affected by such events (be they property owner, commercial, retail, leisure, public authority, etc.) to take the necessary action to safeguard their valued property (non-physical structure) / belongings, i. e. furnishings and personal items, stock, equipment, etc. subject to purpose of property; effectively, as well as carry out remedial measures such as closing primary valves and contacting the emergency services.
Taking it one step further, there was clearly a need for a multifunctional detection' system (moisture, heat, smoke and movement) so to minimise the impact' of fixtures today's 'independent' devices demand.
Page 2 This inspired multi-detection system has been designed to be aesthetically pleasing, simplistic and compact in its design and be either of singular or multi- unit application, the installation of either requiring the minimum of application or maintenance.
A multi-interdependent 'easy to install' wall mounted application with remote (selective Radio Frequency communication) operation between the Main Operating Unit (M.O.U - no greater in size/shape to that of conventional domestic' security alarm housing, the only permanent hard-wiring required is for both modes of communication from the M.O.U, to both mains electric and telephone socket. The individual Sensors are wall mounted and in- keeping with that of the most modern wall mounted fixtures, their integrated technology being capable of 'high sensitivity', alerting the owner/occupier of such 'presence' at a very early stage. The M.O.U comes with soft touch pad technology, comprising of LEARN, TEST, DELAY, SLEEP and MUTE operation, in addition to M.O.U Low Battery, Sensor Low Battery and Mains Power LED indicators. .e .
A pictorial overview (subject to design variation) will now be described with . reference to the accompanying 'Figure': : e e.
FIGURE 1: The basic principle set-up of the 'AD-ON', capable of supporting up to sensors of choice. ë .e .
FIGURE 2: the 'advanced' set-up of the 'Ad-On', the Hub becoming an 'extender' to the M.O.U; capable of supporting a further 10 sensors of choice and is ideal for the larger premises.
FIGURE 3: the 'typical' front panel of the M.O.U depicting the key operational functions and display.
Page 3 As shown in Figure 1 - the pre-formed plastic housing of the Main Operating Unit (surface mounted) A is primarily powered via electric cable B (with integrated battery back-up and dial out device); method of communication via connection into telephone socket via cable C. Remote Installation This requires the connection of one or multiple 'remote operated' sensors D, E, F. G with no 'physical' connection back to A; however, sensor type G does require the self moulding 'Feeler-coin - ' cable H. The 'Feeler- com' cable H must be drawn down from the 'notification unit (G) to top of structural finished floor level.
A As shown in Figure 2 - the 'basic' system can be extended with the use of a secondary Hub (up to maximum of 4 per M.O.U), each Hub J facilitating up to ten (10) sensors of the users choice. Each Hub used reduces the M.O.U sensor capacity by one (1). . ë
A. As shown in Figure 3 - the M.O.U front denotes all the functional elements of the panel; access only required for the initial connection of the back-up battery. ë A. .
