Home Alarm
Systems Are
Very Effective
You are at someone’s
house. You all leave to go to
dinner, and your friend is
locking up. And one of the
locks is not even in the door.
What is going on?
Your friend probably has a
home security alarm to
protect the house while it’s
empty or when the occupants
are asleep. If you are
interested in learning more
about these alarm systems,
the National Bureau of
Standards has anew pamph
let that tells you about the
different types and methods
of reporting a break-in,
approximate costs, and in
stallation and maintenance.
For your copy of Home
Security Alarms, send a
postcard to the Consumer
Information Center, Dept.
676 E. Pueblo. Colorado 81009.
There are three parts to
security alarms: the de
tectors or sensors, the
control unit, and the actual
alarm.
The sensor detects the
break-in.
The most frequently used
sensors are switch sensors,
made up of two parts with a
magnetic connection. When a
window or door is opened, it
breaks the magnetic connec
tion and triggers the alarm.
These should be used on all
windows and doors that can
be reached from the ground,
and on windows and balcony
doors that can be reached
from trees.
Pressure mat detectors are
hidden under carpets or rugs
in a frequently used corridor
or near items of value. When
someone steps on the mat,
the alarm sounds.
Ultrasonic motion detect
ors fill the room with sound
wave too high for most
people to hear. Any move
ment in the room disturbs the
wave pattern and triggers
the alarm. Some people and
most animals are bothered
by the high-pitched sounds,
so an in-home demonstration
before you buy is wise.
The last type is the
infrared photoelectric sen
sor. It works like an electric
eye with an invisible light
beam. When the beam is
broken, the alarm sounds.
The control unit is the
heart of the system. It
activates the system either
by an indoor switch or an
outdoor key. It receives the
information that a sensor has
been disturbed and triggers
the alarm. Devices called
•panic buttons” can be
connected to the control unit.
They allow you to activate
the alarm by pushing a
button and are usually placed
inside the front door or in the
bedroom.
Finally the alarm. The
local alarm is a loud horn, or
h< 11. or a flashing light, or a
combination, and it is placed
high up on your house. Its
effectiveness depends on the
intruder being frightened
away, on you being warned if
you are home, or on your
neighbors calling the police if
you're not home.
The remote alarm alerts a
location away from your
home (such as the police
station, a private security
company, or someone you
know), and can be combined
with a local alarm. If you
have a remote system, do not
direct the alarm to the local
police department unless you
have permission first. Some
of the older models triggered
so many false alarms that
police departments banned
their use without prior
approval.
What is one of the best
ways to prevent an intruder?
Install solid doors with good
deadbolt locks and windows
with key locks.

y£] HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT
Stretch Your Dollars
Thrifty habits are es
pecially useful for older
Americans operating on
fixed incomes. Put wise
financial habits into prac
tice. For example:
—Cooperate and work
together for whatever is
deemed important. Some
times that means being will
ing to go without rather than
using credit.
—Budget your money
while keeping efficient re
cords. When purchasing
products, study labels, ads
and literature carefully
before making your choice.
—As much as 25 per cent
of every dollar can be
wasted by making bad buys.
Compare qualities and
prices prior to purchase.

really don’t need.
