Abstract

An ultrasonic whistle is mounted together with a pin on a window or door so that movement of the window or door causes relative movement between the whistle and pin. Such movement releases compressed gas from a container which activates the whistle. A central monitor in the building detects the output of the whistle and provides an output to activate alerting devices.
