ABSTRACT:
An alarm system for detecting unauthorized removal of a wheel assembly or wheel accessory from the vehicle includes a sensor having a secured state and an unsecured state. The sensor is in the secured state when the wheel assembly or accessory is installed on the vehicle and in the unsecured state when it is removed from the vehicle. An alarm transmitter is connected to the sensor and alters a radio frequency (RF) alarm signal when the sensor changes from the secured state to the unsecured state. A receiver, located remotely from the alarm transmitter, receives the RF alarm signal and generates an alarm triggering signal in response thereto. The sensor and alarm transmitter are preferably part of a sensing assembly which includes a fastener for connecting the sensing assembly to a wheel lug or other wheel part. The sensing assembly includes a housing with a cavity for enclosing the sensor and the alarm transmitter. The sensor may be a pressure switch, an electronic switch or other sensing device. Different arrangements are disclosed for recharging an internal battery or other electrical energy storage device within the sensing assembly.
