Abstract
A covering (200) for an opening in a building and a sensor assembly (500) is disclosed. The covering (200) comprises a panel (201) moveable between an open position and a closed position, and to an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. The sensor assembly (500) is configured to sense the position of a locking member (205) of the covering and to transmit signals indicating the position of locking member (205). Methods of installing a sensor assembly (500) on a covering (200) of an opening of a building are also disclosed.
Claims16
A covering for an opening in a building and a sensor assembly,
- wherein:
- the covering comprises a panel and a frame member;
- the sensor assembly comprises a sensor module that houses a sensor;
- one of the panel or frame member comprises a locking rod;
- the sensor module and a keep are positioned on the other one of the panel or frame member, the sensor module being spaced apart from the keep along a length of the panel or frame member;
- a locking member and a pin are mounted to the locking rod, the locking member and the pin being spaced apart along a length of the locking rod and coupled to movement of the locking rod;
- the panel is moveable relative to the frame member between an open position and a closed position, and the panel is moveable to an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position;
- the panel is configurable to a first locked configuration by moving the locking rod to move the locking member into the keep when the panel is in the closed position to lock the panel in the closed position,
- the panel is configurable to a second locked configuration by moving the locking rod to move the locking member into the keep when the panel is in the intermediate position to lock the panel in the intermediate position;
- the sensor of the sensor module is configured to sense a position of the pin;
- when the position of the pin is sensed to be in a position corresponding to the first locked configuration of the panel, the sensor assembly is configured to transmit a first signal indicating that the panel is in the first locked configuration;
- and
- when the position of the pin is sensed to be in a position corresponding to the second locked configuration of the panel, the sensor assembly is configured to transmit a second signal indicating that the panel is in the second locked configuration.
