Abstract: An intrusion alarm system includes a single transmission line composed of two wires to which a controller and a plurality of detectors are connected. The transmission line transmits electric power as well as detection signals. The controller includes a code transmitter which modulates codes assigned to the respective detectors by using a predetermined carrier wave and transmits them successively with a predetermined time interval, a receiver which receives output signals from the detectors, a display for output signals from the receiver, and a DC power source which is common to the detectors and connected to the line.
