INFRACOM Simultaneous Interpretation System
CIX1 – Guard Controler
Description
Conventional Security Systems, such as those used in department stores to catch shop-lifters, consist of large expensive detectors positioned at the doors and passive modules fitted to the protected merchandise. When an item protected in this way passes through an alarmed door, the passive module attached to the goods disturbs an unstable electromagnetic field between the detectors. This disturbance is sensed by the door system, which sounds an alarm to indicate that someone has passed the door with a protected item.
The alarm modules are passive, i.e. they do not require a power supply and electronics. Major drawbacks include the expensive control electronics and the very large detectors (usually column shaped) required at each door. However, the most significant disadvantage is that, since it is not the alarm module itself that emits an audible signal when it passes an alarmed door, the actual module and the item it is supposed to protect, cannot always be readily found.
BRÄHLER ICS, with over 50 years experience in the conference equipment rental market, know that these conventional security systems are not suitable for protecting conference receivers from accidental removal or theft. At the end of a typical meeting, a large number of delegates will pass through the same door at the same time. A security system that only sounded an alarm at the door itself, could only be effective if enough extra staff were available to be able to stop and question everyone leaving. This is not feasible at most meetings.
The Concept
Easy identification would be possible provided each receiver could emit it’s own audible alarm. This unique feature - and other important features - is found only in INFRACOM GUARD, the security system developed by BRÄHLER ICS.
The INFRACOM GUARD security system consists of one or more mains-powered Signal Transmitters connected to a number of induction loops. The exit sensors react with alarm modules installed in INFRACOM GUARD equipped receivers. INFRACOM GUARD alarm modules may also be fitted in other high value items.
The induction loops are fitted at doors specified by conference organizers and/or the operators of the conference system. These protected areas would be identified by conspicuous notices. If an INFRACOM GUARD receiver is taken through a door monitored by INFRACOM GUARD, the previously "passive" alarm module inside the receiver is activated by the electromagnetic field of the sensor range. When activated, the module emitts a clearly audible alarm signal.
