 | Alarm Service Group Ltd, the leading independent installer in the South West, has opted for SeQuad Sequential Confirmation Detectors from Optex Europe for a major Schools PFI project currently underway in Swindon, where the need for maximum reliability and minimum false alarms is paramount. Sequential confirmation is one of the most popular ACPO-approved options for delivering confirmed alarm activations, requiring activations from two separate detectors within a defined period of time to indicate that an intruder is present. The detectors must have separate outputs and connections, be connected to separate zones on the alarm control panel and, if they are both PIR detectors, have detection patterns that do not overlap.

Alarm Service Group - a NACOSS Gold installer that won the schools contract
because of its all-round capability in CCTV, Access, Fire and Intruder
chose Optex because of the proven track record and long-term reliability of
its products. As Sales Director, Jamie Bishop explains: ³We have used Optex¹
SeQuad Sequential Confirmation Detectors successfully in the past and it was
the most appropriate technology to use again.
³SeQuad effectively gives us a Œone box¹ solution for a confirmed signal.
Aesthetically, they are also preferred. No-one wants two individual units up
in the corner if you only need one, and this way you get all of the benefits
of two detectors but in a single product. From an installation perspective,
they are no more difficult to install than a single detector, so it¹s a Œwin
win¹ all-round.²
Jamie is also pleased with the product¹s reliability. ³This is an
environment where reliability is key,² he says. ³We benchmarked Optex¹
detectors against others in the market and they still came out on top. There
is no Œdark art¹ to getting them set-up and installed, and their performance
is proven.²
Paul Nicholas, Sales Manager for Optex Europe adds: ³We are delighted that
Alarm Service Group has opted once again for our SeQuad detectors that
continue to demonstrate best-in-class performance and reliability in the
most demanding environments.²
The SeQuad detectors are currently being installed in seven primary,
secondary and special needs schools in the area.
