Security system and danger sensor for monitoring danger parameters

Abstract:

A security system utilizes danger sensors (3) and a central unit connected wirelessly to the danger sensors (3). The danger sensors (3) have a communication module (8) which has the same dimensions and same shape for all sensor types, and which is intended to attach the danger sensor (3) to a mounting plate (2). In addition to the communication module (8), the danger sensor (3) contains a detection module (9) where the communication module (8) has a mechanical and electrical/electronic interface with the detection module (9).

Claims:

We claim:

1. A danger sensor for a security system having a wireless communication, comprising a communication module and a detection module, where the communication module has a mechanical andelectrical/electronic interface with the detection module, and by which the danger sensor is attached to a mounting plate, and wherein a contact switch is arranged on the communication module and which forms a part of a sabotage detector to trigger analarm on unauthorized removal of the danger sensor or one of its modules from the wall.

2. The danger sensor according to claim 1, wherein the communication module has substantially the same dimensions and same shape for all applicable detection modules.

3. The danger sensor according to claim 1, wherein the interface comprises a mechanical connection means and an electrical plug connection.

4. The danger sensor according to claim 3, wherein the mechanical connection device has a straight guide and a stop which are structured and arranged so that on creation of the mechanical connection, the electrical plug connection is alsocreated.

5. The danger sensor according to claim 4, wherein the mechanical connection device is arranged on steps designed to be complementary to the communication and detection modules, and wherein in the installed state of the danger sensor, the stepof the detection module, is covered by a step of the communication module.

6. The danger sensor according to claim 1, wherein the communication module has guide means which can be directed into a corresponding straight guide of the mounting plate, and further comprising locking means for fixing the sensor to themounting plate.

7. The danger sensor according to claim 1, wherein a web is attached to a wall carrying the mounting plate and broken-out of the mounting plate, which forms another part of the sabotage detector, and closes a contact switch on the dangersensor.

8. The danger sensor according to claim 1, having a mounting means which is adapted to engage a guide means on the communication module.
