| Zusammenfassung: | An anti-theft power cord for use with electrical devices has sensors for detecting removal of the cord from an electrical receptacle and for detectin g the removal of the cord from the device sought to be protected. Control systems associated with each of the sensors activate alarms when receiving signals from the sensors. The control systems, comprising microcontrollers, also communicate with one another along the power cord and will sound an ala rm if the cord is cut. A battery backup system is provided to allow the power cord to function as an anti-theft device even during a power failure without sounding false alarms. |
