  2. Dual loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_loop

    Dual-loop is a method of electrical circuit termination used in electronic security applications, particularly modern intruder alarms. It is called 'dual-loop' because two circuits (alarm and anti-tamper) are combined into one using resistors. Its use became widespread in the early 21st century, replacing the basic closed-circuit system, mainly ...

  3. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  4. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

  5. Window detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_detector

    window detector circuit diagram. A window detector circuit, also called window comparator circuit or dual edge limit detector circuits is used to determine whether an unknown input is between two precise reference threshold voltages. [1] It employs two comparators to detect over-voltage or under-voltage. [2]

  6. Security alarm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

    A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusions, such as unauthorized entry, into a building or other areas, such as a home or school. Security alarms protect against burglary or property damage, as well as against intruders. Examples include personal systems, neighborhood security alerts, car alarms, and prison alarms.

  7. Home security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_security

    Door and window sensors are also implemented in most home security systems. One part of the system is installed on the door or window itself while the other part is installed on the frame of the door or window. The two part system connects securely when a door or window is closed, creating a security circuit. [5]

  8. Manual fire alarm activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_fire_alarm_activation

    There are certain exemptions like system maintenance and security lockdowns, where manual activation outside the control panel may be overridden. [1] Security alarms, emergency door releases, industrial fire suppression systems, and hazardous material leak alarms are all examples of specialty systems which are sometimes activated with similar ...

  9. Circuit topology (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_topology_(electrical)

    Figure 2.1. Circuit diagram of a ladder network low-pass filter: a two-element-kind network. Comprehensive cataloguing of network graphs as they apply to electrical circuits began with Percy MacMahon in 1891 (with an engineer-friendly article in The Electrician in 1892) who limited his survey to series and parallel combinations. MacMahon called ...
