Application

Suitable for a range of application areas, for example:

  • Data centers.
  • Warehouses.
  • Prisons/ correctional facilities.
  • Airports.
  • Clean rooms.
  • Large atriums.

Description

Aspirating smoke detector with a valve mechanism in the inlet manifold, and software to indicate which pipe has detected smoke.

This configuration enables a single zone to be divided into four separate sectors, for example, distinguishing between separate aisles within a data room. The VES enables the user to locate the source of smoke by identifying the first sector to reach the alert level. The detector then continues to sample from all sectors to monitor fire growth and will report separate alarm levels for each sector. The VES provides four individually configurable alarm levels (Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2) for each sector allowing optimum protection in a wide range of applications. Built on the flair detection technology and years of application experience, VES detectors achieve consistent performance over their lifetime via absolute calibration. In addition, the VES delivers a range of revolutionary features that provide user value.

Features and benefits:

  • Sector addressability for up to four sectors (Pipes).
  • Adaptive scan threshold.
  • Flair detection technology delivers reliable very early warning in a wide range of environments with minimal nuisance alarms.
  • Sensitivity range -0.005 to 20% obs/m.
  • Short wavelength laser-based detection: High sensitivity from small particle light scattering, no drift compensation required since focused light directed at target gives low backgrounds, high stability with temperature and time.
  • Multi-stage filtration and optical protection with clean air barriers ensures lifetime detection performance.
  • Four configurable alarm levels per sector and a wide sensitivity range deliver optimum protection for the widest range of applications.
  • Intuitive liquid crystal display (LCD) display provides instant status information for immediate response.
  • Flow fault thresholds per port accommodate varying airflow conditions.
  • Smart on-board filter retains dust count and remaining filter life for predictable maintenance.
  • Extensive event log (20 000 events) for event analysis and system diagnostics.
  • AutoLearn™ smoke and flow for reliable and rapid commissioning.
  • Backward compatible with VLS and VESDAnet.
  • Ethernet for connectivity with Xtralis software for configuration, secondary monitoring and maintenance.
  • USB for PC configuration, and firmware upgrade using a memory stick.
  • Two programmable GPIs (one monitored) for flexible remote control.
  • Field replaceable sub-assemblies enable faster service and maximum uptime.
  • CE/ UKCA Certified
