The primary power supply 10 adopts a full wave rectification method, is connected to a power receiving side (not shown), receives power from the power receiving side, and supplies the power to the apparatus of the present invention. The secondary power supply 20 is connected to a storage battery (not shown) installed in the indoor side (for example, a farm), and outputs the power received from the indoor side. The voltage detector 30 is formed of a bridge diode and detects the presence or absence of a voltage applied from the primary power supply 10 and the presence of a voltage applied from the secondary power supply 20. In addition, the voltage detector 30 may include a circuit for preventing burnout due to surge voltage and overvoltage.

The sensor unit 50 incorporates a plurality of sensors for detecting, for example, temperature and humidity changes, crime prevention, and disaster prevention through a plurality of ports P1, P2, P3, and P4. In the present invention, four ports are shown. If it is necessary to add an item to be detected, the corresponding port may be expanded. The display unit 60 is, for example, an LCD display panel and displays, in real time, the detection result from the voltage detector 30 and the detection result from the sensor unit 50 under the control of the control unit 40.

The control unit 40 is configured as a chip to control each functional unit of the device according to the present invention. That is, the controller 40 of the present invention generates an input / output control command, and based on the data output from the voltage detector 30, determines whether the power failure has occurred on the power receiving side and / or on the indoor side, According to the determination result, the display unit 60, the alarm generating unit 70, and the communication unit 90 are controlled.

In addition, the controller 40 compares each value detected by the sensor unit 50 with a predetermined set value to determine whether an abnormal state has occurred, and when an abnormal state occurs, the display unit 60 or an alarm generating unit ( 70) outputs an abnormal status message. In addition, when the administrator artificially operates the breaker and returns the breaker within a certain time period (for example, 3 seconds), the control unit 40 controls the automatic power failure notification function of the present invention to prevent over discharge of the built-in battery. prevent. According to the present invention, the predetermined setting value for determining the abnormal state can be arbitrarily changed by the administrator.

The alarm generating unit 70 is provided with a control signal from the control unit 40 which indicates when a power failure occurs due to an internal or external factor of the device and / or when a sensor result from the sensor unit 50 is in an abnormal state. In response, a voice message indicating a power failure accident or abnormal condition is output through the attached speaker S. FIG.

As shown in Fig. 2, the memory 80 stores a plurality of communication contact informations which an administrator sequentially registers using a data input device such as a keypad.
