Alarm transmission system

Claim 2

An alarm transmission system, comprising a plurality of removable and portable autonomous detection units distributed in a space divided into zones, each unit equipped with detectors capable, when activated of generating electrical signals; transmission means in each detection unit for transmitting the signals generated by said detectors, said transmission means comprising means for coding and radio-transmitting binary information which is frequency modulated on a carrier frequency; and means for permanently maintaining a strict phase relationship between the carrier frequency and the binary information signal transmitted by the transmission means; a plurality of autonomous portable receiving modules for receiving the signal transmitted by said detection units, each said receiving module being equipped with radio-receiving and decoding means as well as signalling or warning means capable of being activated upon receipt of the signals sent by the detection units and a central information-receiving and processing unit equipped with at least one such receiving module.

Claim 3

An alarm transmission system comprising: (a) a set of portable autonomous detection units distributed in a space divided into zones, said units having detectors capable of generating electrical signals upon being activated; (b) transmission means in each detection unit for transmitting the signals generated by said detectors, said transmission means comprising means for coding and means for radio-transmitting binary information corresponding to said signals in frequency modulated form on a carrier frequency; (c) a plurality of autonomous portable receiving modules remote from said detection units for receiving the signals transmitted by detection units, each receiving module comprising: (i) means for receiving said transmitted information; (ii) means for decoding said transmitted information; and (iii) signalling or warning means which may be activated upon receipt of said transmitted information; and (d) a central information-receiving and processing unit equipped with at least one said receiving module, said receiving modules capable of being temporarily plugged into said central information-receiving and processing unit for direct interaction therewith.

Claim 4

An alarm transmission system comprising: (a) a set of portable autonomous detection units distributed in a space divided into zones, said units having detectors capable of generating electrical signals upon being activated; (b) transmission means in each detection unit for transmitting the signals generated by said detectors, said transmission means comprising means for coding and means for radio-transmitting binary information corresponding to said signals in frequency modulated form on a carrier frequency; (c) a plurality of autonomous portable receiving modules remote from said detection units for receiving the signals transmitted by detection units, each receiving module comprising: (i) means for receiving said transmitted information; (ii) means for decoding said transmitted information; and (iii) signalling or warning means which may be activated upon receipt of said transmitted information; and (d) a central information-receiving and processing unit equipped with at least one said receiving module, said receiving modules capable of being temporarily plugged into said central information-receiving and processing unit for direct interaction therewith.

Claim 5

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the frequency modulated binary information signals comprise a first frequency which represents the condition zero and a second frequency which is a whole multiple of the first frequency and represents the condition one.

Claim 6

The transmission system of claim 3, wherein two signals corresponding to the condition one transmitted by two detection units situated in two different detection zones are whole multiples of the first frequency, which multiples are different one from the other.

Claim 7

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the transmitted binary information signal comprises at least elements representative of a detection zone, of an address of one station in said detection zone and of a type of alarm signal released, as well as elements for controlling the transmitted signal, and in particular its parity.

Claim 8

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each detection unit comprises at least a volumetric detector of intrusion with Doppler effect.

Claim 9

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each detection unit comprises at least a perimetric detector of intrusion.

Claim 10

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each detection unit comprises at least a fire detector.

Claim 11

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each detection unit comprises means for locking out or timing the switching on of said unit.

Claim 12

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each receiving module is equipped with means for selecting the detection zones which will only respond to the signals transmitted by detection units situated in very specific zones.

Claim 13

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each receiving module is equipped with releasing means for clearing the triggered display or alarm signal.

Claim 14

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein each receiving module is in the form of a portable unit which can be plugged into the central unit and includes all the control, display and receiving aerial elements on one face protected by a raised side edge and equipped with a gripping handle.

Claim 15

The transmission system of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the central unit comprises a printer for recording the information received by at least one receiving module plugged in the unit, and means for controlling said information.
