Abstract
A security alarm system has a plurality of sensors for fire, smoke, intrusion and appliance operation. A central monitor is provided for monitoring and perceptibly indicating the status of each of the sensors. To provide for communication between the sensors and the central monitoring system, transmitters are located on the sensors and a receiver is provided on the central monitor. When one of the sensors establishes an alarm condition, its transmitter is actuated to transmit information indicating the type of alarm. A portable keyboard loads information data into an electronic memory of each of the transmitters and into the electronic memory associated with the receiver. The keyboard is separable from each memory to preclude altering of the information stored in the electronic memory of the respective transmitter. The receiver identifies data transmitted from a particular transmitter by accessing its memory which is loaded with the data from the keyboard, and obtaining a match of the data transmitted to the data stored to identify the sensor. The central monitor then indicates the appropriate alarm based on the identified transmitter of a particular sensor.
