A slot is formed in the mounting panel and a corresponding tang is located within the cover which is adapted to receive an alarm device therein and removably envelop the mounting panel. A second opening is located in the cover for receiving the cover fastener when said mounting panel is enveloped within the cover. The slot and the tang selectively movably cooperate with each other to enable the cover to initially envelop the mounting panel and subsequently secure the cover to the mounting panel as the cover fastener draws the cover toward the mounting panel, preventing the cover from being removed from the mounting panel without removal of the cover fastener. A circuit board is mounted within one of the mounting panel and the cover and is biased toward an ARMED position. The circuit board and the cover fastener cooperate t…
