Abstract
Abstract A self-contained device which simulates the appearance of an operating alarm system actuating component is disclosed. The device has a face plate similar to face plates for key operated or switch operated alarm systems. The face plate also has a light mounted thereon and a self-contained power source for illuminating the light. The device can be mounted to the exterior surface of a building or doorjamb and actuated, such as by a key operated switch, so that the device simulates the appearance of an operating actuating component for a real alarm system.
