Patent ID: 8242918

Claim:
An electric installation apparatus with means for temperature monitoring and warning in the case of overtemperatures in the electric installation apparatus, and comprising: a temperature detection unit comprising at least one temperature sensor, a wake-up trigger, and a power switch, wherein the wake-up trigger is configured to be activated by the temperature detection unit to control the power switch in the case of an overtemperature, and wherein the power switch is configured to energize a warning unit; means for converting a temperature detection signal generated by said temperature detection unit, into a digital signal for processing in a microcontroller, which is adapted to control an RF transmitter for wireless signalling to a remote central block; and said central block serving for registration of the activity of the warning unit and for activation of mechanisms for preventing further temperature increase or consequences of the temperature already detected or registered, wherein said temperature detection unit, said converting means, said microcontroller and said RF transmitter being all located within the confines of the apparatus.
