Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A device (12, 20) for use in an alarm or security system, the device
being selected from the group consisting of keypads (24), motion
detectors, glass break detectors; shock sensors, fire detectors,
smoke detectors and water detectors, the device including a
programmable temperature sensor comprising a temperature sensor
for monitoring the temperature in the space in which the device
is to be located, the temperature sensor being provided with a
plurality of individual alarm set points, each set point being
independently programmable as to level and effect.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
A device for use in an alarm or security system according
to claim 1 wherein the temperature sensor comprises a
temperature sensing means for sensing the temperature in the
space, a processing means for comparing the temperature against
the alarm set points and an interface or signal conditioning
means for providing an indication of the temperature to the
processing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
154 words
A keypad controller (20) for use in an alarm or security system,
the keypad controller comprising, an enclosure having an input means (24) for allowing a user to
interface with the keypad controller and an alarm or security
system to which the keypad controller is connected, an output means (26) for providing one or more of visual and
auditory feedback to a user on the status of the system, the enclosure containing an interface means (22) for
communicating with an alarm control panel (10) of an alarm or
security system, a processing means (28) for processing inputs from the input
means or an alarm control panel and causing the appropriate
information to be provided to the output means, and a programmable temperature sensor (32) for monitoring the
temperature in the space in which the keypad controller is to be
located, the temperature sensor having at least one alarm set
point programmable as to level.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A keypad controller as claimed in Claim 3 wherein the
temperature sensor includes a temperature sensing means for
sensing the temperature in the space, and an interface or signal
conditioning means for providing an indication of the
temperature to the processing means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A keypad controller as claimed in claim 3 wherein the alarm
set point is also programmable as to effect.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A keypad controller as claimed in claim 3 wherein the
temperature sensor is provided with a plurality of alarm set
points, each set point being independently programmable as to
level and effect.
