Abstract
Abstract A burglar alarm with a multi-phase circuit, a fail-safe control circuit, an automatic rearm circuit and a two-step disarming circuit which applies a trigger circuit to trigger the alarm by sensors in sequence. The fail-safe control circuit informs the user that the alarm is in operating condition and is normal; the two-step disarming circuit permits temporary disarming and permanent disarming; and the automatic rearm circuit rearms the alarm automatically (if permanent disarming is not completed within a preset time after the temporary disarming) in order to protect a vehicle from external interference.
