Intelligent VESDA-E VEP Series Aspiration Detectors

General
The intelligent VESDA-E VEP Series aspirating 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.
FLAIR DETECTION TECHNOLOGY
Flair is the revolutionary new detection chamber that forms the
core of Intelligent VESDA-E VEP, providing better detection, fewer
nuisance alarms, higher stability, increased longevity and particle
characterization. Direct imaging of the sampled particles using a
CMOS imager combined with multiple photo-diodes allow vastly
more data about the observed particles.
Three models are available for use in different size & style of appli-
cations, a single pipe VEP with LED display and four pipes VEP
with LED only or LED and LCD display. They provide detection
