VLF-250-00 (250 m² coverage)
Aspirating smoke detector providing very early warning for small business-critical environments.
Suitable for a range of application areas, for example:
Aspirating smoke detector providing very early warning for small business-critical environments.
This configuration protects environments of less than 250 m² (VLF-250-00), or 500 m² (VLF-500-00). 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.

Accessories | Not required. Power supply unit - VPS-220-E5. Guidance for specification option: This is the original unit within the range. Internally is an EN 54-4 certified Power Supply rated to provide a 0.5 A continuous 24 V d.c. supply while also charging the batteries (not supplied) which can be a 7, 12 or uniquely, 14 Ah arrangement. As such the unit can be used with confidence to power, and provide 24 hr standby (plus 0.5 hr in alarm), for the VESDA detectors. Power supply unit - VPS-215-E5. Guidance for specification option: This is the budget unit within the range. It is intended as a low-cost unit to supply a single pipe ASD detector which only requires 7 Ah batteries such as the VESDA VLF-250. A simple but elegant construction and no LEDs on the lid keep the cost of the unit to a minimum. The unit can also be inverted where necessary by rotating the lid. The internal charger is EN 54-4 certified and internal LEDs are provided to indicate OK (output healthy) and Fault. Power supply unit - VPS-250-E5. Guidance for specification option: This power supply is capable of powering larger ASD units. It may also be used for installations with multiple detectors and/ or remote displays. The internal charger is EN 54-4 certified to power loads up to 3 A with space and charging capacity for batteries up to 38 Ah. Uniquely, the unit is supplied with the provision to deliver 4 separately fused outputs – recommended when it is used to power multiple detectors or disparate loads.
