Abstract

The animal deterrent system comprises arbitrary number of spatially distributed, active deterrent radiators with own electronic for generating ultrasonic deterrent signal. The radiators are linked by leads of arbitrary length to network electronic control. They are so controlled that they are energized sequentially over time-limited periods and defined intervals for deterrent signal transmission. The radiators are harnessed to control by star-shaped wiring.

Description

Nagetiere und Kleinraubtiere (z.B. Marder) verursachen beträchtliche Schäden im menschlichen Wohn- und Arbeitsbereich, indem sie z.B. Dachzwischenräume als Nistplätze mißbrauchen und hierbei Dachisolierungen zerstören. Gebäudeschäden und Verunreinigungen im Eindringbereich solcher Tiere sollen noch effektiver vermieden werden. Bekannte Methoden sind Ultraschall- oder Lichtblitz-Abschreckung in geeigneten Intervallen, wobei die a) sporadische oder b) gleichzeitige Abgabe von Scheuchsignalen a) rein zufällig in der Wirkung ist und b) jeweils 100% Scheuch-Energie-Aufwand vorrangig an Stellen verbraucht, wo sich zu scheuchende Tiere gerade eben nicht aufhalten. In 100V-Technik aufgebaute Anlagen sind wegen der höherfrequenten Strahlungsanteile auf Grund verschärfter EMV-Überwachung (EMV = „Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit") ohne aufwändige und damit zeit- und kostenintensive Abschirmung nicht mehr ohne Weiteres genehmigungsfähig, da deren lange Signaldrahtleitungen die reinsten „Sendeantennen" darstellen. Solche Anlagen warten mit mehreren -zig bis -hunderten Watt Leistung auf Man schießt hier leistungsmäßig mit „Kanonen auf Spatzen". „Anlagen" mit zahlreichen eigenständigen Aktiv-Schallgebern, die über ein jeweils eigenes Netzteil verfügen, sind schon vom Aufbau her kostenintensiver und in ihrer Gesamtheit wegen der beträchtlichen Summe der Blind- und Verlustleistungen eben dieser Netzteile für Netzbetreiber und Anwender problematisch. Nicht zu vergessen ein Überhitzungsrisiko auf sommerlich heißen Dachböden (vgl. Sommer 2003!), das sich entsprechend der Anzahl der Netzteile vervielfacht. Die verwendeten Schallgeber haben üblicherweise nur 1 Abstrahlöffnung, was den Nachteil nur 1 Scheuchrichtung mit sich bringt.Rodents and small carnivores (e.g. Martens) cause considerable damage in human living and working areas, e.g. by Roof spaces as nesting sites abuse and destroy roof insulation. Building damage and contamination in the The penetration area of such animals should be avoided even more effectively. Known methods are ultrasonic or flash of light quenching in suitable ones Intervals, the a) sporadic or b) simultaneous delivery of scare signals a) purely by chance in effect and b) priority is 100% Scheuch energy expenditure used up in places where animals to be scared are just now don't stop. In 100V technology built systems are because of the higher frequency radiation components due to tightened EMC monitoring (EMC = "Electromagnetic Compatibility ") without complex and with it time and Costly shielding can no longer be easily approved because whose long signal wire lines represent the purest "transmission antennas" Systems come up with several tens to hundreds of watts of power You shoot here in terms of performance with “cannons on sparrows "." Plants "with numerous independent Active sounders that over have their own power supply, are already under construction more expensive and in its entirety because of the considerable Sum of the reactive and power losses of these power supplies for network operators and Problematic users. Not to forget a risk of overheating in summer be called attics (cf. summer 2003!), which varies according to the number of power supplies multiplied. The sounders used usually only have 1 radiation opening, which has the disadvantage of only 1 scaring direction.

Die hiermit vorgestellte Anordnung vermeidet solche Nachteile und erhöht die Wirkung der für Menschen unhörbaren Ultraschall-Scheuchmethode bei gleichzeitiger Senkung des Stromverbrauchs auf einen Bruchteil der oben erwähnten Bedarfsleistung, und innerhalb des vorgestellten Systembeispiels sogar auf nur noch ¼ je Aktivschallgeber durch eine neuartige zeitliche Verteilung der Scheuchphasen auf die Anzahl der verwendeten Schallgeber, wodurch sowohl ein räumlich definierbares Wechseln des Schallfeldes bewirkt wird, als auch ein umweltfreundlicher Energiehaushalt für das Aufbringen einer gleichzeitig effektiven Scheuchleistung gepflegt wird! Zusätzlich wird hierbei die Fluchtbewegung der zu vertreibenden Tiere ausgenutzt, da diese nun automatisch in den Schallbereich eines benachbarten Schallgebers geraten, sobald sie einem ersten erlittenen Scheuchsignal ausweichen wollen. Das Intervall zwischen zwei solchen Schallereignissen ist kurz genug bemessen, daß es etwa der Fluchtweg-Zeit eines Tieres zum benachbarten Schallgeber entspricht. In der folgenden Scheuchphase braucht der zuvor passierte erste Schallgeber nicht mehr erregt zu werden. Das Tier gerät also unweigerlich in das Scheuchfeld des benachbarten Schallgebers hinein, usw. Derart quasi gezielt gescheucht sind die Tiere letztlich (bei – wie erwähnt – geringerem Leistungsaufwand!) umso eher verunsichert und meiden den so abgesicherten Bereich zukünftig.The arrangement presented here avoids such disadvantages and increases the impact of that on people inaudible Ultrasonic scaring method while reducing power consumption to a fraction of the above Demand performance, and within the presented system example even to only ¼ each Active sounders due to a new time distribution of the phase of scare the number of sound generators used, making both a spatially definable Changing the sound field is effected as well as being more environmentally friendly Energy budget for the application of a simultaneously effective scaring performance is maintained! additionally the escape movement of the animals to be driven out is used, since this is now automatically in the sound range of a neighboring sound generator advised as soon as they evade a first scare signal suffered want. The interval between two such sound events is dimensioned short enough that it such as the escape route time of an animal to the neighboring sound generator equivalent. In the following scare phase, the one that happened before needs first sound generator to no longer be excited. So the animal inevitably gets into the Scheuchfeld of the neighboring sounder, etc. Such In the end, the animals are effectively chased (with - as mentioned - less Effort!) All the more unsettled and avoid the so secured Area in the future.

Zur Vereinfachung der Installation einer Anzahl div. Aktiv-Schallgeber wird hiermit eine Gesamtlösung angemeldet, die nicht nur ein einfach zu verarbeitendes Kabel vorsieht, sondern auch einen nur mit Schraubenzieher zu bewerkstelligenden Geräteanschluß. Dieser ist zudem verpolungssicher und kommt dem Arbeiten in der Enge eines Dachbodens z.B. entgegen, da durch diesen angemeldeten Lösungsvorschlag vor Ort keine Lötarbeiten (Brandgefahr, fehlende Steckdosen in der Nähe...) zu verrichten sind!To simplify installation A total solution is hereby registered for a number of various active sounders, which not only provides an easy-to-process cable, but also also a device connection that can only be made with a screwdriver. This is also protected against polarity reversal and comes close to working Loft e.g. contrary, because of this registered proposed solution no soldering work on site (Risk of fire, missing sockets nearby ...)

Da die eigentliche Scheuchfrequenzerzeugung erst in jedem Aktiv-Schallgeber erfolgt und über das Verbindungskabel nur statische Signale, bzw. die System-Versorgungsspannung übertragen werden, erfüllt die gesamte Anlage – auch wenn sie sich über sehr große Flächen ausdehnt – die Anforderung an Freiheit von Störstrahlung, die gemäß verschärften EMV-Bestimmungen den Verkauf solcher Anlagen überhaupt erst gestattet! Die Verbindungskabel können auf Grund des vorgestellten Verfahrens dennoch unabgeschirmt sein und sind damit kostengünstig und leicht installierbar (sogar von ungeübten Anwendern), was wiederum ein Verkaufsargument ist.Because the actual scaring frequency generation only in every active sounder and only via the connecting cable static signals or the system supply voltage are met the entire facility - too if they are very much size surfaces expands - the Requirement for freedom from interference radiation, according to the stricter EMC regulations the sale of such plants at all only allowed! The connection cable can be presented on the basis of the The process should nevertheless be unshielded and are therefore inexpensive and easy to install (even by inexperienced users), which in turn is a selling point.

Eine besondere gekapselte Gehäuseversion für die Aktiv-Schallgeber, die für die Gesamtlösung vorgestellt wird, garantiert neben Kompaktheit des Aufbaus (wichtig für das Scheuchen in beengten Räumen, wie Zwischendecken, oder hinter Wandverschalungen!) auch den geforderten störstrahlungsfreien, also EMV-gerechten, Betrieb des kompletten angemeldeten Systems!A special encapsulated housing version for the active sounder, the for presented the overall solution is guaranteed in addition to compactness of the structure (important for the scaring in confined spaces, like false ceilings, or behind wall cladding!) also the required störstrahlungsfreien, So EMC-compliant, operation of the complete registered system!

Die neuartige Anordnung durch Zusammenfassung von mehr als nur 1 Scheuchstrahler in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse bewirkt Strahlungskeulen in sich gegenüberliegende Richtungen, z.B. entlang eines langgestreckten Dachbodens, und gestattet so eine Reduzierung des Installationsaufwandes, da von 1 Aushängepunkt gleich in 2 Richtungen gescheucht werden kann.The new arrangement through summary caused by more than just 1 spotlight in a common housing Radiation lobes facing each other Directions, e.g. along an elongated attic, and allowed such a reduction of the installation effort, because of 1 suspension point can be chased in two directions.

Funktionfunction

Die 1 enthält das hiermit beschriebene Verdrahtungs–/Funktionsschema: In einem Steuergerät (1) werden zeitlich aufeinander folgende Steuersignale für die Auslösung von Ultraschall-Scheuchsignal-Phasen gemäß 2 erzeugt und sodann über einen Steuersignalausgang (9) einer Gruppe von Aktiv-Schallgebern (15) zugeführt. Diese geben bei Ansteuerung durch den mittels Verdrahtung zuvor ausgewählten Phasenzweig nur während dieser Phasen-Zeit das Scheuchsignal wieder. Die räumliche Anordnung der auf die verschiedenen Scheuchphasen verdrahteten Aktiv-Schallgeber erfolgt passenderweise so, daß jeweils verschiedene Scheuchphasenzuordnungen benachbart sind, d.h. daß sich die Schallgeber durch die zeitlich nacheinander auftretenden Scheuchphasen zyklisch abwechseln, wodurch das Scheuchsignal aus Sicht eines festen räumlichen Bezugspunktes eine für Tiere nicht vorhersehbare und daher auf diese bedrohlich wirkende Richtungsänderung erfährt. Die Schallgeber können räumlich z.B. in einer Reihe (3.1) oder in einem Raster (3.2) oder gar spezifisch (3.3) angeordnet werden zur Gestaltung des sich wandelnden Schallfeldes, oder es können mehrere Schallgeber in nur 1 Gehäuse enthalten sein, die von dieser Anschlußstelle des Systems aus in verschiedene Richtungen strahlen (3.4)! Die Leuchtanzeigen (2),(3) des Steuergerätes zeigen den Scheuchtakt an, und zwar wie er generell zur Verfügung steht (2), bzw. wie er auf die unterschiedlichen Scheuchzweige verteilt wird (3). Eine optionale Taste (13) an jedem Schallgeber dient zur Auslösung einer akustischen Kontrolle sowohl des Scheuchsignals selbst, als auch der einzelnen Schallgeber im Bezug auf ihre Funktion.The 1 contains the wiring / functional diagram described here: In a control unit ( 1 ) successive control signals for triggering ultrasonic shear signal phases are in accordance with 2 generated and then via a control signal output ( 9 ) a group of active sounders ( 15 ) fed. When triggered by the phase branch previously selected by means of wiring, these only reproduce the alarm signal during this phase time. The spatial The arrangement of the active sounders wired to the different phases of shoo is suitably such that different shear phase assignments are adjacent, that is to say that the sounders alternate cyclically due to the phase of shocks that occur one after the other, whereby the shy signal from the point of view of a fixed spatial reference point is not predictable for animals and therefore experiences this threatening change of direction. The sounders can be spatially arranged in a row ( 3.1 ) or in a grid ( 3.2 ) or even specific ( 3.3 ) can be arranged to design the changing sound field, or several sound transmitters can be contained in only 1 housing, which radiate in different directions from this connection point of the system ( 3.4 )! The light indicators ( 2 ), ( 3 ) of the control unit indicate the shooing cycle, as it is generally available ( 2 ), or how it is distributed to the different Scheuch branches ( 3 ). An optional button ( 13 ) on each sounder is used to trigger an acoustic control of both the alarm signal itself and the individual sounder in relation to their function.

Eine optionale Anzeigeleuchte (16) an jedem Schallgeber zeigt zur Kontrolle (auch von Weitem) die Scheuchauslösung und das Vorhandensein der zugeordneten Scheuch-Phase an. Die Anlage verwendet eine nur 3-polige Verdrahtung zu den Aktiv-Schallgebern: Spannungszuführung Positiv und Negativ, sowie 1 Signal-Zuleitung, deren Bezugspunkt die Negativ-Zuleitung darstellt. Die Schallgeber werden einzeln, also sternförmig, zum Steuergerät hin verdrahtet. Ein im Steuergerät enthaltener Generator taktet einen Zählerbaustein mit daran angeschlossenem Dekoderbaustein mit z.B. 4 Ausgängen zyklisch in der Folge 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,.... Alternativ (Option) kommt eine Zufallsautomatik zur Anwendung, die die Ausgänge zufallsbedingt ansteuert, gleichzeitig aber auch für eine lückenlose Bedienung sämtlicher Scheuchzweige in jedem Scheuchzyklus sorgt! Auch eine manuelle Vorwahl fest verdrahteter Scheuchfolgen ist vorgesehen, deren Programm-Status über LED oder Ziffernanzeige optional angezeigt wird. Die zeitversetzt aktivierten Ausgänge (2) stellen über Treiberstufen Steuersignale für die LED eines Optokopplers im Steuer-Eingang der Elektronik eines jeden der Aktiv-Schallgeber zur Verfügung. Der Ausgangstransistor des jeweils angesprochenen Optokopplers schaltet zur Masse durch und startet so für diesen Zeitraum den Ultraschall-Scheuchgenerator, der in der übrigen ¾ der Zeit (bei den hier beispielsweise 4 Scheuchzweigen) abgeschaltet bleibt, d.h. stromlos wird.An optional indicator light ( 16 ) on each sounder indicates (also from a distance) the triggering of the Scheuch and the presence of the assigned Scheuch phase. The system uses only 3-pole wiring to the active sounder: positive and negative voltage supply, as well as 1 signal supply line, the reference point of which is the negative supply line. The sounders are wired individually, i.e. in a star configuration, to the control unit. A generator contained in the control unit cycles a counter module with a connected decoder module with, for example, 4 outputs in the sequence 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1, .... Alternatively (option), a random automatic function is available Application that controls the outputs randomly, but at the same time also ensures seamless operation of all scaring branches in every scaring cycle! A manual preselection of hard-wired scaring sequences is also provided, the program status of which is optionally displayed via LED or numerical display. The outputs activated at different times ( 2 ) provide control signals for the LED of an optocoupler in the control input of the electronics of each of the active sounders via driver stages. The output transistor of the respective optocoupler switches through to ground and thus starts the ultrasonic generator for this period, which remains switched off for the remaining Zeitraum of the time (in the case of four branches, for example, here), ie is de-energized.

An jeden der z.B. 4 Scheuch-Zweige werden 1...4 Steueradern für die Optokoppler-Aktivierung angeschlossen. Bei je 1 Anschluß pro Scheuch-Zweig können so bis zu 4, bei je 2 Anschlüssen können bis zu 8, bei je 3 Anschlüssen können bis zu 12 und bei je 4 Anschlüssen können bis zu 16 Aktiv-Schallgeber über diese Steuerausgänge (9) angesteuert werden. Sie werden hierbei von nur 1 im Steuergerät enthaltenen Zentralnetzteil versorgt – jegliche Netzteil-eigene Dauer-Verlustleistung beschränkt sich auf diesen Bereich. Bei Erhöhung auf 8 Scheuchzweige können z.B. (bei gleichem Gesamtleistungsbedarf [!] auf Grund z.B. verdoppelter Scheuchpausenzeit für jeden Schallgeber) bereits bis zu 32 Aktiv-Schallgeber wechselweise flächendeckend von diesem einzigen Steuergerät ausgehend aktiviert werden!1 ... 4 control wires for optocoupler activation are connected to each of the 4 Scheuch branches, for example. With 1 connection per Scheuch branch, up to 4, with 2 connections up to 8, with 3 connections up to 12 and with 4 connections up to 16 active sounders can be controlled via these control outputs ( 9 ) can be controlled. They are supplied by only 1 central power supply included in the control unit - any power supply's own permanent power loss is limited to this range. When increasing to 8 Scheuch branches, for example (with the same total power requirement [!] Due to, for example, doubled Scheuch pause time for each sounder), up to 32 active sounder can be activated alternately across the board from this single control unit!

Die systemeigenen Gehäusekapseln (5) für die Aktiv-Schallgeber bestehen aus nur 3 Gehäuseteilen, von denen 2 gleicher Machart sind: zwischen 2 gefalzten Deckeln (1) befindet sich ein hochkant darin stehendes als 4-Eck geformtes Blech (2) mit einem Stecker-Ausschnitt (3). Die beiden Deckel (1) bilden Boden und Oberseite des Gehäuses und werden durch Gewindebolzen zueinander auf Abstand miteinander verschraubt und so auch untereinander galvanisch leitend verbunden. Der obere Deckel enthält eine Öffnung (4) für den Einbau oder den Schallaustritt einer Piezo-Lautsprecher-Systemkapsel, der untere Deckel kann eine gleichartige Öffnung (5) enthalten, wenn Scheuchen auch in entgegengesetzter Richtung zu erfolgen hat. Durch Höhenveränderung des hochkant stehenden 4-Eck-Bleches (2) ist das Gehäusevolumen dem Einbauplatzbedarf der Komponenten anpassbar (z.B. höher bei 2-seitiger Schallabstrahlung). Die 3 Einzelteile einer solchen Gehäusekapsel brauchen zu Abschirmzwecken nicht miteinander verlötet zu werden, da die beim Zusammenbau mittels Verschraubung bewirkte Klemmung der Blechkanten (6) des hochstehenden Teils (2) im Biegeradiusbereich der Deckelblechfalze (7) einen schlüssigen peripheren Kontakt bildet! Das Gehäusematerial kann dünnwandig sein, da es sich durch die beschriebene Formgebung in Verbindung mit dem Arretieren seiner Elemente selbst stabilisiert.The system's housing capsules ( 5 ) for the active sounder consist of only 3 housing parts, 2 of which are of the same design: between 2 folded covers ( 1 ) there is an upright sheet metal in the shape of a square ( 2 ) with a connector cutout ( 3 ). The two lids ( 1 ) form the bottom and top of the housing and are bolted to each other at a distance using threaded bolts and thus also connected to each other in an electrically conductive manner. The top lid contains an opening ( 4 ) for the installation or sound emission of a piezo speaker system capsule, the lower cover can have a similar opening ( 5 ) included if scaring must also take place in the opposite direction. By changing the height of the upright 4-corner plate ( 2 ) the housing volume can be adapted to the installation space requirements of the components (e.g. higher with 2-sided sound radiation). The 3 individual parts of such a housing capsule do not need to be soldered to one another for shielding purposes, since the clamping of the sheet metal edges caused by screwing during assembly ( 6 ) of the high part ( 2 ) in the bending radius area of the cover plate folds ( 7 ) forms a coherent peripheral contact! The housing material can be thin-walled, since it stabilizes itself due to the shape described in connection with the locking of its elements.

Die Montage des/der Schallgebers) kann erfindungsgemäß auf die beiden in 6 dargestellten Arten vorgenommen werden. Sie geschieht jeweils unter Zuhilfenahme der sich von der Bauart her anbietenden 3 Montagepunkte, die die Schallkapselschalen auf dem Schalltrichter fixieren. Hier werden neben Benutzung der Originalschrauben auch andere Schrauben vorgeschlagen, die es ermöglichen, per Huckepack-Montage eine Leiterplatte in Nähe der Piezoanschluß-Lötfahnen anzuordnen. Maschinenschrauben statt Kunststoffschrauben und passende vorgeschlagene Einsatzmuttern erleichtern den Zusammenbau der angemeldeten Anordnung erheblich – ebenso wie eine Demontage im Service-Fall.According to the invention, the mounting of the sound generator (s) can be carried out on the two in 6 shown types are made. It is done with the help of the three mounting points that are available in terms of design and that fix the sound capsule shells on the sound funnel. In addition to the use of the original screws, other screws are also proposed that make it possible to piggyback mount a circuit board in the vicinity of the piezo connection soldering tags. Machine screws instead of plastic screws and suitable suggested insert nuts make assembly of the registered arrangement considerably easier - as does disassembly in the event of service.

Nach 6.1 erfolgt die Schallgeber-Montage nach Entfernen seines sperrigen Schalltrichters im Gehäuse-Inneren. Die Öffnung (3) ist dann auf den nach Abdrehen verbliebenen Schallaustritt der Kapselvorderseite durchmessermäßig abgestimmt.To 6.1 The sounder is installed after removing its bulky horn inside the housing. The opening ( 3 ) is then matched to the diameter of the sound that remains on the front of the capsule after it has been turned off.

Nach 6.2 erfolgt die Montage eines kompletten Piezo-Lautsprechers, bei dem jegliche Modifizierungsarbeit betr. Dimensionierung entfallen kann. Dieser wird an der Außenseite des Formbleches (1) derart montiert, daß lediglich die Rückseite seiner Schallkapsel – zusammen mit deren Lötanschlüssen – in das Innere des Gehäuses ragt. Dazu muß die Öffnung im Frontblech dem größeren Durchmesser (23) der Schallkapsel-Haube entsprechen. In beiden Fällen ist erfindungsgemäß unmittelbar hinter dem Schallgeber bei (6) die Elektronikplatine (z.B. mit dem Optokoppler zur Scheuch-Aktivierung und dem Scheuchgenerator) auf Abstand zu diesem angeordnet. Der Optokoppler ist auf den Eingangsstecker (=Gegenstück zu 4) verdrahtet. Die Anschlußsteckverbindung ist durch ihre Formgebung codiert. Die Anschluß-Leitungskupplung (4) stellt eine Kombination aus Buchsenleiste und Lüsterklemme dar und ist Bestandteil des angemeldeten Systems. Die Zuleitung (6) besteht aus Femmeldeleitungsmaterial mit Massivdrähten, die nach Abisolierung einfach per Schraubenzieher lötfrei an diese Leitungskupplung geklemmt und damit kontaktiert werden. Ein in dem vorgestellten Gehäuse angeordneter optionaler Taster ermöglicht bei Drücken desselbigen eine vom Optokoppler unabhängige Auslösung des Scheuchgenerators bei gleichzeitiger durch diesen Taster aktivierter Frequenz-Transponierung vom Ultraschall- in den Hörbereich zur Kontrolle der jeweils vorh. Schallgeber.To 6.2 the assembly of a complete piezo speaker, in which any modification work regarding dimensioning can be omitted. This is on the outside of the shaped sheet ( 1 ) mounted in such a way that only the back of its sound capsule - together with its solder connections - projects into the interior of the housing. To do this, the opening in the front panel must match the larger diameter ( 23 ) correspond to the sound capsule hood. In both cases, according to the invention, immediately behind the sound generator at ( 6 ) the electronics board (eg with the optocoupler for Scheuch activation and the Scheuch generator) is arranged at a distance from it. The optocoupler is connected to the input connector (= counterpart 4 ) wired. The connector is coded by its shape. The connection line coupling ( 4 ) represents a combination of socket strip and luster terminal and is part of the registered system. The supply line ( 6 ) consists of Femmeldeleitungsmaterial with solid wires, which after stripping are simply clamped solderless to this cable coupling with a screwdriver and contacted. An optional button arranged in the presented housing enables the Scheuch generator to be triggered independently of the optocoupler when the button is pressed, while frequency transposition from the ultrasound area to the listening area is activated by this button to control the respective sounder.

Die Verwendung der Einbau-Stiftleisten zum Anschluß der einheitlichen Schallgeber-Zuleitungsenden wird erst durch folgende Modifizierung möglich: die standardmäßig einliegenden Gewinde-Spreizbuchsen werden umgekehrt herum so angeordnet, daß ihr Gewindeeintritt statt zur Steckseite neuartig zur Anschlußseite weist und so eine rückseitige Montage ermöglicht. Hierfür werden zusätzlich die ursprünglich im Stiftleistengehäuse schon enthaltenen kleineren Löcher auf das Maß der Schraubendurchmesser aufgebohrt. Durch diese erweiterten Hilfslöcher tauchen dann Montageschrauben rückseitig in die Gewinde-Spreizbuchsen zur Befestigung der Stiftleiste. Der so modifizierte Einbaustecker ragt erst hierdurch nun zur Steckung frei zugänglich durch die in 5 dargestellte Öffnung (3) des Gehäuses (Montagewinkel nicht eingezeichnet!), bzw. aus der Frontplatte der in 1 dargestellten Verteilfelder (3)! Erst durch diese erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme kann bei der Verdrahtung des kompletten Systems durch den Kunden an beiden Zuleitungsenden der gleiche ohne Vorkenntnisse leicht anzubringende Kupplungsstecker (1) gemäß 4 einheitlich verwendet werden!The use of the built-in pin headers for connecting the uniform sound generator supply ends is only possible through the following modification: the standard threaded expansion bushings are arranged the other way around so that their thread entry points to the connecting side in a new way instead of the plug-in side and thus enables rear mounting. For this purpose, the smaller holes originally contained in the pin header housing are additionally drilled to the size of the screw diameter. Through these expanded auxiliary holes, assembly screws are then inserted into the threaded expansion bushes on the back for fastening the pin header. Only then does the built-in connector, which has been modified in this way, project freely to the plug through the 5 opening shown ( 3 ) of the housing (mounting bracket not shown!), or from the front panel of the in 1 distribution fields shown ( 3 )! It is only through this measure according to the invention that when the complete system is wired by the customer, the same coupling plug, which can be easily fitted without prior knowledge, can be installed at both ends of the supply line ( 1 ) according to 4 be used consistently!

Um Verdrahtungsaufwand im Bereich der Leitungsverteilung zu reduzieren, sind mehrere dieser modifizierten Stiftleisten auf Leiterplatten zusammengefaßt, deren Bahnen die Stecker-Anschlüsse untereinander verbinden. Durch seitliches Herausführen der Leiterbahnen können diese Leiterplatten wiederum seitlich nebeneinander angeordnet und so leicht durch Drahtbrücken miteinander verbunden werden, wodurch ein kompaktes Verteilfeld mit z.B. 16 Steckern und somit insgesamt 48 Anschlußpunkten entsteht! Ein solches Verteilfeld kann beliebig erweitert und damit an größere Scheuchanlagen angepaßt werden.To wiring effort in the area to reduce line distribution are several of these modified Pin headers grouped together on printed circuit boards, the paths of which connect the plug connections to one another connect. By pulling the conductor tracks out laterally, they can Printed circuit boards in turn arranged side by side and so light through wire jumpers can be connected to each other, creating a compact distribution field with e.g. 16 plugs and thus a total of 48 connection points arises! Such a distribution field can be expanded as required and thus to larger scaring systems customized become.
