  • CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALARM SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230206734
    Abstract: A catalytic converter alarm includes a housing and mounted thereto are a motion sensor on a first side of the housing, one or more magnets opposite the motion sensor, and a speaker. A controller is mounted within the housing and is coupled to the motion sensor and to the speaker, the controller being configured to cause the speaker to output a sound in response to motion detected by the motion sensor. The controller may output a sound of a first duration in response to the motion and output a sound of a second duration in response to motion of the motion continuing for a threshold time. Operation of the catalytic converter alarm may be controlled by a wireless remote.
