The ASC Edge:
Alternate Polarity Quad Alternate Polarity Quad is an Ademco exclusive.
As illustrated in Figure 1, Ademco's unique detector design causes an intruder to create
opposite signals on its two alarm channels and only signals of that type will register an
alarm.
With Quads from other manufacturers, an intruder signal creates identical patterns on
both channels, this time shown in Figure 2. The problem with this is that radio
interference or power surges may also create identical patterns on both channels, and
cause an alarm on an ordinary Quad PIR.
Because Quad PIRs require that both the top and bottom elements must be intercepted at
the same time, they are ideal for preventing false alarms due to rodents (Fig. 3).
