Abstract
An improved environmental alarm system has centralized control of local sensor display capabilities displays, on the sensor itself, a variety of sensor data including sensor address, and detected levels of one or more environmental conditions. Alphanumeric characters are displayed at individual sensors in response to commands from a master microprocessor directing local sensor display content and timing. A local microcontroller within each sensor interprets the detected signal and prepares a resulting data signal that is available for downloading into the alphanumeric display in compliance with a coded message from the master microprocessor.
