synthesis alarm Explanation: seems too obvious, but found a Google hit where the meaning is of an alarms that incorporates several functions, e.g. "smoke, heat and other kind of detectors for fire and burglar protection." Avoided the "voice synthesis" hits Reference: http://gstplc.com/tech_manuals/I-9306%20Installation.doc. |

combined alarms Explanation: I agree with previous answerer about the meaning of 'synthèse' here --- this is a common technique; I feel that 'combined' is possibly a more self-explanatory term, and I'm unaware of a more 'official' term for this? |
