Abstract: In a fire alarm system, a plurality of terminal equipments are connected to a control panel. A memory is provided with each terminal equipment, which stores characteristic data indicating characteristics of the associated terminal equipment. The control panel establishes an initial configuration of each terminal equipment based on the characteristic data transmitted from the respective terminal equipments.

Abstract: In a fire alarm system, a plurality of terminal equipments are connected to a control panel. The terminal equipments include a first terminal equipment provided with a first mode in which the first terminal equipment is controlled by the control panel, and a second mode in which the first terminal equipment controls a second terminal equipment which is other than the first terminal equipment.

Abstract: A plastic lens having a hard coat film and/or anti-reflecting film strongly adhered and having no defects such as yellowing, milky turbidities, cracks is provided. The plastic lens can be produced according to the present invention by forming an anti-reflecting film and/or a hard coat film on the working surfaces of a pair of molds, pouring a monomer liquid into the space between said molds and a ring gasket and polymerizing the monomer therein. Formation of the anti-reflecting film and/or the hard coat film can be carried out by coating of a hard coat solution or by a vacuum deposition of inorganic substances. When the anti-reflecting film and/or the hard coat film is formed by coating of a hard coat solution, a hard coat solution containing at least one release agent is applied to the working surfaces of the molds, or, after applying a release agent to the working surfaces of the molds, a hard coat solution containing no release agent is applied to the release agent layer.

Abstract: In the fire alarm system comprising a pair of alarm lines, a plurality of fire detectors connected between said alarm lines and a receiving unit connected at the proximal end of the alarm lines, and generating a fire alarm in response to an alarm signal raised by one or more fire detectors, an improved system in which disconnection of alarm lines and number of fire detectors producing alarm signals can be indicated, is disclosed.

Abstract: A combination type smoke detector comprising a light scattering smoke detector and an ionization smoke detector in which a labyrinth structure dark chamber for the light scattering smoke detector is made of an electroconductive plastic material and functions as the outer electrode of the ionization smoke detector is disclosed. Members of the ionization smoke detector and the light emitter and the light sensing element for the light scattering smoke detector are arranged so that the light emitted from the light source and reflected by said members and the lamina members does not enter the light-sensing element.
