Abstract
A self-powered sensor for a closed-loop security system includes a self-powered sensor network which provides a switch-actuating signal upon the detection of a physical condition. An electronic switch, which is in a normally closed position, is connected between the positive and negative poles of a closed-loop security system and opens the loop upon receipt of the switch-actuating signal thereby triggering an alarm. The self-powered sensor network may include a voltage doubler for converting the AC output of a transducer to a DC voltage of an amplitude sufficient to open the switch. When the switch is opened, voltage from the closed-loop security system becomes available to power a visible or audible alarm identifying the sensor that opened the loop.
