Gads I don't remember. The circuit was pretty interesting, they had the alarm loop configured as one leg of a wheatstone bridge, with a pair of optoisolators across the center, to kick the logic. The logic counted a settable number of pulses within a settable amount of time, and if exceeded, toggled a relay with form C outputs. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
