| The ASC Edge:
Automated SMD Construction on the Flex Lines
Ademco has been a pioneer in the use of Surface Mount Device (SMD) construction
in the security industry. Starting with surface mount passive components
like resistors and capacitors, then moving to integrated circuits like
amplifiers, now even sophisticated microprocessors are surface mounted
on ADEMCO's Flexible Manufacturing Lines. All ADEMCO motion detectors,
fabricated using automated SMD construction, provide you and your customers
with major benefits:
1. Higher Reliability: Each component is located precisely
by robotic cameras and each solder connection is carefully controlled
by computer.
2. Fewer "out-of-the-box" problems: Because
the components are automatically selected and placed properly on the PCB,
there is virtually no opportunity for error in the fabrication process.
3. Improved RF Immunity: SMD components have no leads
that could act as miniature antennas where absorbing even a minute amount
of RF energy can lead to false alarms in high gain circuits such as PIR
motion detectors.
