VESDA® Aspirating Smoke Detection Products

The VESDA VLF-250 detector is a very early warning smoke detector designed to protect small, business-critical environments of less than 2,690 ft² (250 m²). The detector works by continually drawing air into sampling holes in a pipe network. The air is filtered and passed into a detection chamber where light scattering technology detects the presence of very small amounts of smoke. Detector status information is communicated on the detector display and via relays or optional interface cards.

The VLF can be installed and commissioned out-of-the-box without the need for a special interface or software programming tools. In operation, the unique Smoke DialTM display provides the user with an instant understanding of a smoke event, even from a distance. Should a fault occur, the user simply opens the field service door and activates the Instant Fault Finder feature to determine the specific fault condition. This information can then be passed onto their fire service company, ensuring that service technicians arrive onsite fully prepared.

VESDA-E VEA provides pinpoint addressability by using a network of microbore tubes connected to sample points located in the protected area. VEA actively draws air through sample points and analyzes for the presence of smoke particles in a centrally located smoke sensor module. VEA provides assured detection through active sampling and end-to-end system integrity monitoring. VEA allows fast installation utilizing flexible microbore tubes and push-fit connectors, which reduce time and cost. A single VEA detector supports 40 sampling points, all managed from a central location. Fully supervised microbore tubes and sampling points ensure total system availability and reliability. Centralized test and maintenance of up to 500 addresses per day help reduce up service times by up to 90% and total cost of ownership (TOC) by up to 60%. Additionally, VEA remote maintenance is ideally suited in applications where interruption-free business operation and restricted access are of paramount importance.

The VESDA-E VES can identify and monitor smoke density by individual sampling pipe (sector) which allows a single zone to be divided into four separate sectors; for example, distinguishing between separate aisles within a data room. Sector addressability enables the user to respond to a potential fire event quickly by reducing the search area. The VESDA-E VES has four programable alarm thresholds (Alert, Action, Fire 1, and Fire 2) per pipe that allow flexible field application. After the detector identifies the first sector to reach the Alert threshold it continues to sample from all sectors to report real-time status per sector via the intuitive touch screen display. Built on the Flair™ detection technology and years of application experience the VESDA-E VES detector delivers very early warning with the best in class dust rejection throughout its lifetime.

The VEU series of aspirating smoke detectors are the premium detector of the VESDA-E range. VEU has an ultra-wide sensitivity range that is 15X greater than VESDA VLP, and provision for more sampling holes provides increased coverage in high airflow applications by at least 40%. Considerably longer linear pipe runs and extended branched pipe network configurations cater perfectly to applications with higher ceilings providing an increased coverage by up to 80% whilst allowing convenient detector mounting for ease of service and maintenance. A range of revolutionary new features provides unsurpassed detection performance, flexibility, field programmability, connectivity, and reduced total cost of ownership.
