A wireless warning and detection system comprising at least one sensor type transmitting unit, a receiving unit, and at least one portable transmitting unit; said at least one sensor type transmitting unit comprising: a sensor element for producing a sensing signal in response to the detection of an operation to be detected by said sensor; a low frequency oscillation means operatively connected to said sensor element for producing a low frequency signal in response in said sensing signal; a modulation means operatively connected to said low frequency oscillation means for multiplying and modulating said low frequency signal to produce a high frequency signal; a high frequency transmitting means operatively connected to said modulation means for transmitting said high frequency signal through a transmitting antenna; said at least one portable transmitting unit comprising: a switch means for producing a control signal; an additional low frequency oscillation means operatively connected to said switching means for producing an additional low frequency signal in response to said control signal; an additional modulation means operatively connected to said additional low frequency oscillation means for multiplying and modulating said additional low frequency signal into an additional high frequency signal; an additional high frequency transmitting means operatively connected to said additional modulation means for transmitting said additional high frequency signal through an additional transmitting antenna, wherein the frequency of said low frequency signal is different than the frequency of said additional low frequency signal; said receiving means comprising: a frequency modulation means for receiving said high frequency signal and said additional high frequency signal through a receiving antenna and for amplifying said signals selectively to intermediate and additional intermediate frequency signals; an intermediate frequency amplifying means operatively connected to said frequency modulation means for amplifying said intermediate and said additional intermediate frequency signals; a detection means operatively connected to said intermediate frequency amplifying means for providing a signal having the same frequency as that of said low frequency signal and for providing a signal having the same frequency as that of said additional low frequency signal; a low frequency amplifying means operatively connected to said detection means for amplifying said signal and said additional signal from said detection means; first and second selection circuit means operatively connected to said low frequency amplifying means, said first selection means providing a warning in response to the detection of said signal having the same frequency as that of said low frequency oscillation means and said second selection means providing an inhibit signal upon the detection of a signal having the same frequency as that of said additional low frequency oscillation means; wherein said second selection means is operatively connected to said first selection means and wherein said inhibit signal of said second selection means inhibits the operation of said first selection means whereby the operation of the switch means on said at least one portable transmitting unit disables at least a portion of said receiving unit to prevent the operation of said warning means.
