VEP-A00-1P-UL ASPIRATING SMOKE DETECTOR (MAINSTREAM ASD)


The VESDA-E VEP series of smoke detectors bring the latest and most advanced detection technology to provide very early warning and the best nuisance alarm rejection to a wide range of applications. Built on the Flair detection technology and years of application experience, VEP detectors achieve consistent performance over their lifetime via absolute calibration. In addition, the VEP delivers a range of revolutionary features that provide user value.
Product Description
- Suitable for Class 1 Division 2 applications – Groups A,B,C & D
- One and four pipe models for different applications
- Flair detection technology delivers reliable very early warning in a wide range of environments with minimal nuisance alarms
- 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 alarm levels and a wide sensitivity range deliver optimum protection for the widest range of applications
- Intuitive LCD icon 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
- Referencing to accommodate external environmental conditions to minimise nuisance alarms
- Backward compatible with VLP 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
