3. INTRUDER ALARMS
Intruder alarms have developed from a very limited specialist element
of electrical installation work in high security buildings to the much
wider market of schools, shops, offices, housing, etc.
This is largely a result of the economics of sophisticated technology
surpassing the efficiency of manual security.
Popular applications include:
Micro-switch, Magnetic reed, Radio sensor, Pressure mat, Taut
wiring, Window strip, Acoustic detector, Vibration, impact or inertia
detector.
Circuit wiring may be `open' or `closed' as shown in principle for fire
alarms
The disadvantage of an open circuit is that if an intruder knows the
whereabouts of cables, the detector circuit can be cut to render the
system inoperative. Cutting a closed circuit will effect the alarm.
