Security system and electrical circuit therefor
A circuit for a security system includes a power circuit, a closed loop detection circuit and an alarm circuit. The detection circuit includes a first loop circuit with an alarm sensor and a second loop circuit with a relay. The alarm circuit provides a plurality of output voltages or signals to at least one alarm device, such as two 120 VAC outputs and two 12 VDC outputs. The alarm circuit is coupled to the relay of the detection circuit, such that an alarm condition sensed by the alarm sensor causes the relay to supply energy from the power circuit to the plurality of outputs to activate at least one alarm device. The security system may be turned on and off by a remote control.
