Systems and methods of voice annunciation of signal strength, quality of service, and sensor status for wireless devices are provided. Some methods can include determining a signal strength or range of a radio, determining quality of service events and statistics for a wireless device, or determining a status of a sensor and then verbally annunciating information or instructions relating to the determined signal strength or range, the determined quality of service events and statistics, or the determined sensor status.

System and method of voice annunciation of signal strength, quality of service, and sensor status for wireless devices

An apparatus to set an output window includes an ambient condition detector from which non-alarm messages can be output at a pre-determined time. The ambient condition detector includes a real-time clock that can be set wirelessly by a real-time synchronizing message. A message emitting window can also be wirelessly pre-set. The non-alarm messages are emitted at respective times in the message emitting window.

System and method of time-augmented annunciation of signals

A fire detecting system can mix fire detectors, such as smoke, flame, or, thermal detectors on a common loop, or zone, with gas detectors. Signals indicative of gas can have one amplitude while those indicating fire can have a different amplitude. Duty cycles can be varied to indicate other conditions, such as trouble conditions.

Multilevel signaling system and method

A system that includes, a carbon monoxide detector and first and second connectors, the carbon monoxide detector connected across the first and second conductors, the first and second conductors having a voltage imposed on the conductors that supply power to the carbon monoxide detector, the carbon monoxide detector signals detected carbon monoxide by clamping the first and second conductors to a first voltage less than the imposed voltage; and the carbon monoxide detector signaling a fault within the carbon monoxide detector by clamping the first and second conductors to a second voltage less than the imposed voltage where the second voltage is different than the second voltage and also different than the first voltage.

Combination CO/smoke detector with reverse compatible initiating circuit

A method and apparatus is provided for activating a carbon monoxide detector. The method includes the steps of the carbon monoxide detector measuring a current carbon monoxide level, the carbon monoxide detector comparing the current carbon monoxide level with a first threshold value, determining whether the current carbon monoxide level exceeds the first threshold value, entering an alarm state upon detecting that the current carbon monoxide level exceeds the first threshold value after a first predetermined time period, determining from memory whether the carbon monoxide detector had previously been in an alarm state before activation and upon detecting that the current carbon dioxide level does not exceed the first threshold and the carbon monoxide detector was previously in the alarm state, resuming the alarm state after a second predetermined time period.

Method for hushing a CO detector through power-on reset

Regional physical information can be entered along with automatically sensed ambient condition information into regional monitoring system. Alarm decision processing can be adjusted in accordance therewith.
