Abstract (en)

An alarm assembly 10 comprises a housing attached to a back plate 12 to define a cavity occupied by a bell or siren and a tamper detection device. The tamper detection device 14 comprises a member 16 mounted for free movement in the cavity in more than one direction in response to a body entering the cavity or movement of the housing. The member 16 comprises a magnet 22 which is repelled by another magnet 40 so as to be movable between a metastable rest position and a disturbed position. A sensor 42 senses when the member 10 is in the disturbed position and causes the bell or siren to be set off.
