ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION DETECTOR WITH REMOTE FIRE EXTINGUISHER LOCATOR SYSTEM

摘要

A system (10) for identifying the location ofa fire extinguisher (16) includes a fire detector (14)with a wireless transmitter (22). When the detector(14) goes into alarm, it not only emits a localaudible alarm, it also transmits wirelessly a signal(S) receivable by a fire extinguisher locator unit.The unit includesa receiver (18) and a circuitry fordetecting the received alarm indicating signal. Italso includes audible output circuit (30), for example,speech synthesis circuit (30), and optionally,an optical indicator (32). Upon detection at theunit of the alarm indicating signal, the speechsynthesizing circuitry (30) can be activated to indicateverbally the location of the extinguisher (16).Simultaneously, the illuminatable output device (32),such as light bulb (32) or light emitting diode (32),can be energized to provide a visual indication ofextinguisher location.
