Cause for increases If you have cause for alarm about burglary, Mag- navox may have just the product for your problem. With the number of bur­ glaries. in America up 113 per cent in the decade of the 1960's alone, Magnavox is introducing a full line of low cost and easily installed alarm systems. After research which in­ cluded contacting everyone from the police to a burglar, Magnavox alarm systems have been designed within the price range of the average homeowner and are aimed at frightening the burglar away. Lights, alarm As soon as the burglar is detected, each of the three Magnavox alarm systems automatically turns on a lamp in the house. About 15 seconds later, a loud blaring alarm begins to sound. Unlike other alarms, Mag­ navox systems require no connecting wires between the magnetic sensors and the master alarm unit. Any­ one with a screwdriver can install the sensors in min­ utes, and the master control unit itself is completely in­ stalled just by simply plug­ ging it into any electrical outlet. «' There are three basic sys­ tems, two of which protect entranceways and a third which automatically detects any movement inside a room through the use of ultra­ sonic waves. The sensors are actually small magnetic contacts which are mounted on doors and windows. When the contacts are broken by the door or window being opened, a signal is immedi­ ately transmitted to the alarm's master control unit. Where most systems re­ quire unsightly wires (and expensive installation), the Magnavox systems don't. Easy installation One of the systems -- called the AC Alarm System --connects the master con­ trol to the sensor-transmit­ ter by using ordinary house wiring -- in other words, plugging the transmitter in­ to a handy socket and con­ necting the transmitter to the magnetic sensor is all you need to do to completely install the system! With the second system, called the RP Alarm System, a cigarette-pack sized radio transmitter located incon­ spicuously near the opening (door or window) transmits the alarm-activating signal from the sensors to the master control. The Ultrasonic Alarm Shade bordered w i t h r u f f l e s adds appeal \ Using a fancy ruffled val­ ance or cafe curtains with a window shade can be co­ ordinated into a full-fledged window treatment by add­ ing a narrow, shirred-fabric border to the shade with special, snap-on tape. The ruffle can be easily removed for washing--and the vinyl-coated shade will need only a wipe-over with a damp cloth. PAGE 13-HOME IMPROVEMENT SUPPLEMENT', PARIL 20, 1973 alarm about burglary security system use System is installed by simply plugging it into a common AC outlet and placing it on a shelf or table top in the room to be protected. It then constantly emits an ultrasonic sound wave (not audible to the human ear) which, when disturbed by an intruder, immediately turns on any lamp and, soon afterwards, a loud horn. The products are available at all Magnavox dealers. Book by Lady Carpenter for 'handy' gals The Lady Carpenter is not only busy conducting her carpentry classes, but is in the process of writ­ ing a very special book on her favorite subject, carpentry. The book, soon to be published by David Mc­ Kay Co., Inc. will show the beginner in simple, easy-to-understand lan­ guage accompanied by sketches and pictures, how to tackle not only the minor household re­ pairs that are so costly when one has to hire a professional, but will guide the newcomer through the maze of car­ pentry to the point where they can complete major, creative projects on their own. HEAVY MOVE To move heavy furniture across carpet, put pads of wrapping paper under the feet and slide it. m MIRROR TRICK Strategically placed mir­ rors can enlarge a small room and make it lighter. Attaching two magnetic contacts to any door or window with four screws is the only installation required by the new Magna­ vox Home Security Systems. When the contacts are separated by the opening of the protected door or window a signal is in* stantly transmitted to an alarm which can be located anywhere in the house. The alarm immediately turns on a table lamp and, 15 seconds later, activates an 85-decibel horn.
