An alarm system, comprising a smoke detector, a smoke detector output relay, a recording switch, a microphone, a digital recording and a play back device, a timer/pulse generator, a pulse counter, a number of speakers, an amplifier and an alarm tone generator, and the method of operation of the alarm system are presented. The smoke detector output relay activates a printed circuit that is powered off the smoke detector at two different points. The recording switch, when activated, allows a voice message to be recorded through the microphone on a digital recording and play back device. The timer/pulse generator starts when activated by the smoke detector output relay. The timer/pulse generator then sends timed pulses to the pulse counter that controls output of the digital recording and play back device, i.e. a verbal message, and of the alarm tone generator. The controlled output of the digital recording and play back device and of the alarm tone generator is then sent to the amplifier. Then, the output of the amplifier is sent to the number of speakers which send messages and tones, alerting by standing individuals of presence of fire or smoke. The messages and tones may be repeated until the alarm system is reset. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To meet the need for a warning system which is capable of providing verbal instructions in cases of fire or smoke and which is capable of being produced at minimal expenses, the present invention comprises an alarm system for guiding individuals, particularly children, away from danger.
The alarm system comprises a smoke detector, a smoke detector output relay, a recording switch, a microphone, a digital recording and a play back device, a timer/pulse generator, a pulse counter, a number of speakers, an amplifier and an alarm tone generator.
The smoke detector output relay activates a printed circuit that is powered off the smoke detector at two different points.
The recording switch, when activated, allows a voice message to be recorded through the microphone on a digital recording and play back device.
The timer/pulse generator starts when activated by the smoke detector output relay.
The timer/pulse generator then sends timed pulses to the pulse counter that controls output of the digital recording and play back device, i.
e.
a verbal message, and of the alarm tone generator.
The controlled output of the digital recording and play back device and of the alarm tone generator is then sent to the amplifier.
Then, the output of the amplifier is sent to the number of speakers which send messages and tones, alerting by standing individuals of presence of fire or smoke.
The messages and tones may be repeated until the alarm system is reset.
A resetter may be used to reset the timer/pulse generator.
In addition, a number of voltage controllers may be used.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide to individuals, particularly children, an alarm system which can emit easily changeable verbal instructions and alternate voices upon smoke detection.
Individuals, especially younger children, can be taught to cope with different situations accordingly upon replay of different instructions.
By using the digital recording and play back device, said instructions may be easily and economically changed regularly, before, during and after emergency situations
