Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0362798A2] The system operating in accordance with the principle of chain synchronization, comprising a central station (Z) having several two-core primary signalling lines (ML), to which a plurality of detectors (Mn) are connected in the form of a chain which are regularly cyclically activated from the central station (Z) and are interrogated for their respective analog detector measurement value, in each case uses detectors (Mn) which exhibit a voltage measuring device (MU) which monitors the applied line voltage (UL), a subsequent logic circuit (VL) with associated sensor part (S), a subsequent control device (St), an energy accumulator (C) and a switching transistor (T). The logic circuit (VL) is essentially formed by a microprocessor which can be connected and disconnected. According to the invention, the microprocessor is switched into a current-saving standby condition and switched on again in dependence on particular switching criteria which are specific for the hazard signalling system, a required start-up time (tan) being ensured for the microprocessor. For example, the microprocessor is switched to the standby condition in dependence on a particular line voltage (disconnecting voltage UAB=UR) and switched on again with the presence of another predetermined line voltage (connecting voltage UAN=US) so that the detector is activated after a particular start-up time (tan=ts). <IMAGE>
