Abstract:
1. A device suitable for monitoring electrical energy in a conductor to an electrical device and for controlling said electrical energy to said electrical device in response to a remotely located controller, the device comprising: (a) a sensing device suitable to produce an input signal in response to the presence of a changing signal within said conductor; (b) a first circuit located proximate to said sensing device that receives said input signal, said input circuit producing, in response to receiving said input signal, at least one of an open circuit condition and a short circuit condition; (c) a second circuit for sensing both a controller signal and a controller circuit condition of said remotely located controller and providing at least one of an output signal and an output circuit condition, in response to sensing of said controller signal and said controller circuit condition, said at least one of said output signal and said output circuit condition being suitable to control said electrical device; and, (d) all of said sensing device, said first circuit, and said second circuit being located in a single unitary package.
