摘要
A wireless alarm system (10) employs two-way transceivers (32, 60) in a network of smoke detectors (16), a base station (12), and other sensors. A keypad (14) is not needed because the system is reset by pressing a Test/Silence button (66) built into every detector or sensor. A siren is also eliminated because a sounder (64) in every detector sounds an alarm when any sensor is triggered. This is possible because every detector includes a transceiver that can receive alarm messages from any other detector. AC power wiring is also eliminated because the base station and sensors are battery powered. Only a telephone connection (48) is needed if the system is to be monitored. In apartments or dormitory installations, smoke detectors in one apartment relay alarm messages to the next apartment, and onto the next, and so on, to a centralized base station for the entire facility. The centralized base station can be located in an apartment manager's office for immediate notification of an alarm, improper smoke detector operation, low or missing battery indications, and dirty smoke detector indications. The two-way wireless alarm system can save many lives in apartments, where smoke detectors batteries are often depleted or removed.
