Abstract
An RF signaling device can be configured to detect tampering with a door or cover of an opening of a compartment or container. The RF signaling device can comprise a controller, a first switch coupled to the controller, and a second switch coupled to the controller. The first switch can be configured to detect normal opening or closing of the door or cover and signal the normal opening or closing to the controller, and the second switch can be configured to detect the tampering with the door or cover and signal the tampering to the controller.
