Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and safety related systems (SRSs) in a Secure Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) that addresses concerns for security of electronic emanations from equipment in the SCIF. A fiber optic link connects an optical receiver located within a SCIF and an optical transmitter located outside the SCIF. Alarm signals generated by an SRS located outside the SCIF are detected and sent to the optical receiver over the fiber optic link. The optical receiver converts the optical signals to electrical signals and directs the signals to alarm devices within the SCIF. Additionally, an audio signal generated at the location outside the SCIF is converted to an optical signal and then reconverted to an audio signal by the optical receiver for broadcast over a speaker located within the SCIF. A tone signal generated at the optical transmitter is continuously sent over the optical fiber link to the optical receiver and the SCIF speaker.
