For your commercial fire security needs, the IntelliQuad™ may be the perfect solution.
The IntelliQuad™ Advanced Multi-Criteria Fire Detector continually monitors all four major elements of a fire enabling it to quickly identify true fire events with highest immunity to nuisances. It can be used with standard intelligent bases and sounder bases. This detector is ideal for areas that are prone to nuisance alarms.
Features of this advanced fire detector include:
- Superior nuisance alarm rejection
- Unique ability to detect all four major elements of a fire - Most accurate fire detection
- Six levels of sensitivity
- Twin LED indicators providing 360˚ visibility
- Automatic drift compensation of the smoke sensor and CO cell1

What is the advantage of having a multi-criteria fire sensor?
Multi-criteria fire sensors use at least two fire signatures to verify an actual fire and reduce nuisance alarms.
Why is it important to reduce nuisance alarms?
Nuisance alarms carry a great risk and cost in buildings such as surgical centers, intensive care units, financial trading centers, high security facilities, and research and development laboratories. An unnecessary evacuation could result in severe consequences.
Which elements of a fire are detected by the fire sensor?
Carbon monoxide (CO), smoke (photoelectric), heat, and infrared (IR) light are detected by the sensor. All of these elements are common to most fires.
How long does the CO cell last?
The CO cell has an expected lifetime of approximately six years. The detector sends a signal to the panel when the CO cell is approaching its end of life and then again when the end of life has been reached, leaving the CO cell fully expended.
Is the CO sensor life span timer activated on first power up or from date of manufacture?
The CO sensor is activated on first power up. It measures accumulated time from the moment it is powered up and operating. If it is disconnected for any period, the timer stops until it receives power again.2
