Abstract: An alarm system which is particularly adapted for use in connection with an appliance, the system sensing the removal of the power supply plug from the convenience outlet to trigger an audio alarm. The system includes a one hertz oscillator circuit which feeds a one hertz signal to a one kilohertz oscillator signal including an input gate circuit, the output of the one kilohertz oscillator circuit feeding an output transformer connected to the audio signaling device upon triggering of the one kilohertz oscillator circuit. The system further includes a gating device, in the form of a controlled rectifier, the gate and cathode electrodes of which are connected to a source of alternating current supplied through the plug and convenience outlet assembly whereby the controlled rectifier is triggered to the conductive state to permit conduction of a multiple frequency signal through the output transformer and gate circuit upon removal of the power supply plug from the convenience outlet.
