      contain a battery operated alarm to drive smokers
      from area.

Remote indicator informs personnel nearby:
   • Short Range Wireless - Cigarette smoking detector
      models ending in "30" trigger Horn, Strobe or
      combination Horn/Strobe indicator up to 50' away when
      smoking starts.
   • Hardwired - Customer runs four conductor cables
      between cigarette smoking detector models xx40 and
      indicator.  This allows Horn, Strobe, or combination
      Horn/Strobe indicator to be at longer distances than
      wireless system.  Models ending in "40".

Centralized remote system to catch smokers:
   • Text Messaging  - One or more detectors can send
      a text message to one or more staff via cell phone,
      letting them know where smoker has lit up as soon as
      they do so.  Models ending in "60"
   • Central Office Receiver  - Up to 8 cigarette smoking
      detectors can be linked to this receiver to catch
      smoker in the act, alerting staff in your central office.

   • Long Range Wireless Paging System  - Up to 12
      cigarette smoking detectors can be linked to a paging
      system to catch smoker in the act, alerting
      administrator of location of smoker.  For this system,
      an RF Receiver and Paging System are combined
      with cigarette smoking detector models xx10 for each
      monitored area. Depending on your facility, you may
      also need a Signal Repeater.  Models ending in "10".
