ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for communication by use of a single FM radio frequency, from a plurality of transmitters to a central receiver in a security alarm system or similar system. A transmitter's radio frequency signal is modulated in wide frequency swings to transmit digitally encoded address, subaddress, and sensor status information in a very brief format. The receiver automatically tracks the rapidly varying frequency of the transmitted signal. A transmission is provided periodically from each transmitter, but a very low duty cycle is used to avoid interference among the transmitters. Address and subaddress data identify each transmission and a maintenance warning is provided by the receiver-decoder unit to identify any transmitter which fails to report within a predetermined time. Each significant sensor change initiates a transmission from the related transmitter. Low duty cycle and low transmitter power requirements provide long transmitter battery life.
