First, to explain the security monitoring function, door 10
However, when it is in the closed state, the security control circuit 3
4 outputs a signal to turn on the surveillance light 40 because the signal from the security sensor 37 is not input, and the surveillance light 40 is turned on. When the door 10 is opened, an operation signal is emitted from the security sensor 37, and the security control circuit 34 transmits this state to the main control circuit 41 and outputs a signal to operate the abnormality light 38 and buzzer 40. . In response to this output signal, the abnormality lamp 38 is turned on and the buzzer 40 sounds, so that it is known that an abnormality has occurred. When the main control circuit 41 receives the signal transmitted from the security control circuit 34, it immediately reports this to the monitoring station 32 via the telephone line 31, and the monitoring station 32 receives this notification. The received results are transmitted to the main control circuit 41. The main control circuit prints and displays the data transmitted from the monitoring station 32 on a facsimile built into the telephone device 11. During this operation, each line connection confirmation light 2
0, Data transmission light 22, Monitoring station reception confirmation light 21
Since the data reception light 23 is lit, the remote monitoring system can be known by looking at these lights.

Next, when explaining remote monitoring of equipment, when the equipment abnormality simulation switch 8 is operated, the equipment signal input circuit 33 transmits this operation signal to the main control circuit 41, and the main control circuit 41 As described above, a notification is issued to the monitoring station 32, and the data transmitted from the monitoring station 32 is printed and displayed on a facsimile. By looking at the printed results, you can know which equipment has experienced an abnormality, and you can also use the Equipment Abnormality Simulation Switcher 8.
Since the colors are arranged to correspond to the actual location of the equipment, it is easy to get a better image of the remote monitoring system by contrasting the printed results with the remote monitoring simulator. .

Further, in this embodiment, based on the transmission data from the monitoring station 32, the main control circuit 41 reads and synthesizes the audio data stored in the memory 42, and outputs it to the call control circuit 30, Since the call control circuit 30 is configured to broadcast this synthesized voice signal through the intercom 7,
It is now possible to view the remote monitoring status without looking at the results printed on the facsimile.

In addition, when explaining the call function between the intercom 7 and the monitoring station 32, when the intercom 7 is activated, the call control circuit 30 sends a signal indicating that the intercom 7 is activated to the main control circuit 41. , the main control circuit 41 connects the monitoring station 32 and the telephone line 31, so that the intercom 7
The intercom 7 is connected to the telephone line 31.
to make it possible to communicate with the monitoring station 32. At this time, the call ready status indicator light 24 is lit, so
After confirming that this indicator light 24 is lit, the monitoring station 32
If you make a call to the monitor, you will be able to talk directly to the monitor at the monitoring station 32, and you will be able to experience and understand the benefits of the direct call function with the monitor station 32.

As described in detail above, according to this embodiment, customers who receive an explanation of the functions of the remote monitoring device can use this simulated device, which has the same functions as the actual remote monitoring device, to remotely The functions of the monitoring device were explained, and since the simulated device was equipped with control sections whose colors corresponded to the installation locations of the actual building equipment, it was less troublesome than traditional methods.
