Abstract
In activating a unit for monitoring a remote instrumentality, a tone-responsive circuit operates in accordance with an established duty cycle wherein, for a major portion of each cycle, current is drawn from the telephone lines servicing the system at a rate which is within the range permitted by prevailing telephone regulations, to charge a capacitor over time, and wherein, for a minor portion of each cycle, the charge stored by the capacitor is used to briefly operate a tone detection circuit which is capable of determining whether or not the remote instrumentality is being interrogated. If no such tones are detected, the circuit continues its periodic operation as previously described. If tones indicating a desired interrogation are detected, the tone-responsive circuit activates the monitoring unit which is used to poll the instrumentality.
