ABSTRACT:
A solid state code transmitter adapted for use with a conventional local fire alarm system in connection with installations that include a McCulloh loop circuit for the transmission of signals to a central proprietary fire alarm surveillance point. The transmitter circuit generates an electronic data word 17 bits long, the first 14 bits being field programmable by way of miniature DIP switches, each data word representing an equivalent of one round of generated code. During an ALARM input the transmitter circuit will generate four rounds of code, and will further generate one round when the ALARM input is removed; during a TROUBLE input, the circuit will generate two rounds of code and one round when that TROUBLE input is removed; during simultaneous ALARM and TROUBLE inputs, ALARM will take precedence; however, a one round restoration code will not be generated if either ALARM or TROUBLE inputs remain active while the other is removed, and upon removal of a second input (ALARM or TROUBLE), a one round restoration code will be generated.
