A reed-switch is hidden under the table and in the piece a small magnet. Under normal conditions, the magnet is far from reed, but in an emergency situation, for example by pretending to pick up a pen, you move the object to the position where it aligns with the reed-switch and the signal is sent to your desk by means of hidden wires, as shown in figure 1.
The complete diagram is shown in figure 2.
The hidden receiver wire may be common.
The food is made with ordinary batteries that are in the emergency room in the adjoining room next to a desk. The volume of the alarm system is not the biggest to not catch the attention of a possible intruder who is making threats in the main room.
