VESDA® LaserPLUS Product Guide

1.1 Scope
The LaserPLUS Product Guide is written to provide you with comprehensive knowledge of the
detector.
This guide introduces you to the LaserPLUS features, technical specifications and gives an
understanding of its components and their function. You will also find instructions on installing,
cabling and powering up the detector.
This guide is for anyone involved with the design, maintenance and purchasing of a VESDA
system. It is assumed that anyone using this manual has knowledge and the appropriate
certification from the local fire and electrical authorities.

1.2 Introduction to the LaserPLUS

The LaserPLUS is an aspirating smoke detector providing very early warning of fire conditions by
drawing air samples through an air sampling pipe network. The detector chamber can detect
presence of smoke at very low concentrations. The embedded and PC software complimenting
the LaserPLUS provides a wide range of user defined parameters and reporting capabilities. The
detector easily interfaces with fire warning and fire suppression release systems, and can be
easily integrated into a building management system.

LaserPLUS Features
The LaserPLUS features make it a versatile smoke detection product:
2
• Each detector can cover an area up to 2,000 m (20,000 sq. ft.)
• Wide sensitivity range
• Four programmable alarm thresholds
• AutoLearn feature
• Four pipe Inlets
• Individual pipe flow monitoring
• Replaceable air filter cartridge
• Option for inverted mounting
• Recessed mounting option
• Modular to meet site specific requirements
• Modular Display Module and LCD Programmer
• Seven programmable relays
• High efficiency aspirator
• Programmable general purpose Input
• PC capable programming and monitoring
• Multilingual displays
• Event log for up to 18,000 events

1.3 Operation of the LaserPLUS

An air sampling pipe network collects air samples from a protected area. The VESDA integrated
aspirator draws air into the sampling pipes through a pipe inlet manifold (up to four pipes can be
connected to a LaserPLUS detector). For further information on air sampling pipe networks
please see the Pipe Network Design and Installation Manuals.
Some of this air flows to the dual stage filter. The first stage air filter removes dust and dirt from
the sampled air and flows to the laser detector chamber to detect the presence of smoke.

1
LaserPLUS Product Guide VESDA®

Any smoke detected in the laser detection chamber is signaled to the main processor card. If the
presence of detected smoke is higher than the set thresholds it is reported as an alert, action, fire
1 or fire 2 alarm depending upon the alarm thresholds. The second stage filter further filters the
air to produce ultra clean air. The ultra clean air is used to clean the optical surfaces in the laser
detection chamber.

LaserPLUS Product Guide VESDA®

Display module
The LaserPLUS Display Module is mounted either on the detector front cover or at a remote
location in a remote mounting box or a 19” subrack. It provides a visual representation of the
smoke levels and the four alarm stages for the assigned detector. An array of fault LEDs
illuminate in different configurations to report Urgent, Minor, Zone and System faults. Up to 20
Display Modules can be assigned to one detector, however the Display Module can be
configured to report the status of only one detector at a time.

VESDA® LaserPLUS Product Guide

The OK LED stays illuminated during normal operation indicating the unit is
OK LED functioning normally. When this LED is off a warning beep sounds, indicating a
Fault condition is active.

This LED is illuminated when the detector is Isolated and relays are de-
Isolate LED activated disabling alarm outputs of the detector. The display can be
programmed to beep every 60 seconds.

ALERT: When illuminated this LED indicates that the

smoke level is above the alert threshold. This means
the detector has identified very early stages of a fire
condition and/or that the smoke level in the area is
above normal.
ACTION: When illuminated this LED indicates that the
detected smoke level has passed the threshold value
fixed for Action, but is not intended to initiate a general
fire alarm response procedure.
Alarm Levels
FIRE 1: When illuminated this LED indicates that the
detected smoke level is above the threshold value set
to initiate a general fire alarm response procedure.
This indicates a fire may be imminent or is in
progress. When interfaced with a Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) it can generate an automatic fire alarm.
FIRE 2: When illuminated this LED indicates a fire is in progress. The detector
can be interfaced with an FACP to activate automatic suppression systems
and evacuation procedures.

The Bar graph is a 20 step indicator where each indicator represents an

Bar graph
increase in the detected level of smoke, relative to the preset fire alarm level.

Threshold The illuminated LEDs represent visual settings for ALERT, ACTION, and FIRE
Indicators 1 alarm levels. The FIRE 1 indicator is always at the top.

The Fault LEDs illuminate to indicate:

URGENT: A serious fault requiring immediate attention
SYSTEM: A fault affecting the network to which the Display Module is
connected
ZONE: A fault in the VESDA Zone monitored by the Display Module
POWER: A fault in the power supply if the GPI function is used
NETWORK: A communications fault on VESDAnet
Fault LEDs
AIRFLOW: Higher or lower than acceptable levels of air flow through the inlet
pipe(s)
FILTER: The air filter requires changing

These buttons enable various systems functions. These do not allow

configuring the system. The buttons can be disabled by the systems
administrator.
Mode/Test (Dual Function): Selects modes on the numerical display -
sensitivity, smoke level, or zone number. When depressed for more than two
seconds it performs a light test function.

Push Button Silence: This button silences any alarm or fault warnings. The LEDs stop
Keys flashing to acknowledge a fault or alarm condition.
Reset: Resets any latched alarms and faults on the detector. Any active
alarms or faults are reported again after the time delays have elapsed.
Isolate: Isolates the detector from any external devices or systems (an isolate
alarm will normally be raised at the Fire Alarm Control Panel).
Note: It is normal practise to signal the Isolate condition to the Fire Control
Panel using the Isolate relay.

Sensitivity: Shows the level of smoke that must be measured to illuminate the
entire bar graph and always corresponds with the Fire 1 alarm level.
Smoke Level: Indicates the current level of smoke in the relevant VESDA
Zone and is represented as % obs/m or % obs/ft.
Numerical
Display Zone Number: This is the VESDA Zone number assigned to the Display
Module.
Note: The Mode button is used to select the parameter to display in the
numeric display. These values represent the current readings for the corre-
sponding parameters mentioned alongside the lit LED.

VESDA LCD Programmer

The VESDA LCD Programmer is used for configuring, commissioning and maintenance of the
devices on VESDAnet. It can replace either the center or the right plate of the front cover of the
detector, or can be mounted at a remote location. A hand-held model is also available. The hand-
held model is connected to the VESDAnet socket on the termination card of the detector. For a
detailed description and use of the LCD Programmer please refer to the VESDA LCD
Programmer Manual.

General Purpose Input (GPI) Functions

The input terminal requires a voltage supply between 5V and 30 VDC to operate. The input is
isolated from the system by an opto-coupler device. Connect the GPI + terminal to the positive
output and the GPI - terminal to the ground output of the external device. The GPI can be
configured to initiate a number of different actions - including, by default, a Remote Reset
function. The GPI can be configured through the ‘Miscellaneous’ screen menu of the LCD

Table 5 - GPI functions

Note: The signal voltage into the GPI terminals must be between 5 to 30 VDC.
Note: When the detector is isolated or de-isolated as a GPI function, the status cannot be
changed through the normal isolate/de-isolate functions of the Display Module or
the LCD Programmer.
Note: When the night-time threshold is configured as a GPI function, it overrides the clock
settings for day-start and night-start.
When using the standby or remote isolate options it is recommended that all displays on
VESDAnet are configured to have the Isolate button disabled. When programming the display
through the LCD Programmer choose Isolate Disabled from the Button Lockout menu.

1.5 Mounting the LaserPLUS

The LaserPLUS detector can be mounted onto the wall or on any suitable secure surface using
the mounting bracket. It is strongly recommended that the detector is mounted on to the
mounting bracket included with the packaging. Determine the cable entry ports and the air
exhaust port before mounting the detector. Consideration should also be given to the positioning
of the pipe inlet ports in relation to the existing pipe network.

Caution: Press out the relevant knockouts taking care not to damage the relays and
terminals on the termination card.

Securing the mounting bracket

The orientation required for the LaserPLUS detector will determine how the mounting bracket is
placed. To secure the mounting bracket to the mounting surface place the flat side against the
surface ensuring that the lances do not sit flush to the surface. The figure below illustrates the
bracket position for normal and inverted orientations. Secure the mounting bracket to the surface
using appropriate fasteners, ensuring that the bracket is horizontally straight and sits flush on the
surface.

Figure 9 - The mounting bracket in normal and inverted orientation

16
VESDA® LaserPLUS Product Guide

Mounting the LaserPLUS in Normal Orientation

Place the three bridges located at the rear of the detector onto the lances of the mounting
bracket. Push downwards until it locks onto the lances and engages the fitting dimples. To
prevent unwanted removal of the detector, secure the detector to the mounting surface by
placing two screws through the keyhole slots situated near the termination card.

Figure 10 - Mounting the LaserPLUS detector onto the mounting bracket

Mounting the LaserPLUS in the Inverted Orientation

If the detector is fitted with a LCD Programmer and/or a Display Module, re-orient these to the
upright position. Mount the detector in inverted orientation onto the mounting bracket.

Figure 11 - Mounting the LaserPLUS detector in inverted orientation onto the

mounting bracket

Mounting the LaserPLUS without a mounting bracket

In the event the detector has to be mounted directly onto the mounting surface, remove the
chassis from the mounting box. See Replacing the chassis/Air Inlet Pipe Manifold on page 28 for
details.
Use the four keyhole slots to secure the mounting box to a flat surface, ensuring that it is
horizontally straight. Re-install the chassis into the mounting box. Carefully re-connect the looms
and complete the cabling prior to closing the front cover. See Internal Wiring for LaserPLUS on
page 30

17
LaserPLUS Product Guide VESDA®

Note: The laser detector chamber, head processor card and flow sensors are factory
calibrated as a matched set. Separating the set and replacing it with components
from another set may cause the detector to malfunction, requiring re-calibration at
the factory.

1.6 Connecting the LaserPLUS to the Pipe Network

Inlet Pipes
The inlets in the pipe inlet manifold are designed to receive a standard pipe of 25 mm (1 in) OD.
A 25 mm to 1.050 inches adaptor to fit the pipe inlet manifold is included for all shipments to
USA.

Figure 13 - Pipe Adaptor

The design of the air inlet ports allow insertion of the sampling pipe to a depth of 15 mm. (0.60
in). This prevents the sampling pipes from damaging the flow sensors. While connecting the
detector to the pipe network:
• Ensure a minimum length of 500 mm (19.7 in) of straight pipe before terminating the pipes
at the air inlet ports of the detector.
• Square off and de-burr the end of the sampling air pipes, ensuring the pipes are free from
swarf.
• Determine the Air Inlet Ports to be used. See Table 6 on page 19 for details.
• Remove the plugs from only those Air Inlet Ports intended for use.
• Insert the pipes into the pipe inlet(s) ensuring a firm fit.
Note: DO NOT glue the inlet pipes to the pipe inlet manifold.
When configuring the detector ensure that the correct pipes in use are selected.:

Managing the Exhaust Air

To exhaust air from the detector, use the exhaust ports at the rear or at the bottom of the head
mounting box. Remove the appropriate exhaust port plugs and if required, connect an outlet
pipe to the exhaust manifold. In the event the side port is used as an exhaust port, press out the
knockout hole. Remove the plug on the exhaust manifold, located at the divider of the chassis
and the termination card. Run a 25 mm (1 inch) pipe through the side port and insert into the
exhaust manifold, ensuring it is a tight fit.
Note: DO NOT glue this pipe to the exhaust manifold.
Note: Some applications may require the air exhausted from the detector to be returned to
the sampling area.

VESDAnet Terminals
VESDAnet is a bidirectional data communication network between connected VESDA devices.
VESDAnet cables are terminated at the VESDAnet A and B Terminals on the termination card.
Communication wires from another VESDA device are brought into the detector at one terminal
and looped out to another device on VESDAnet from the other terminal. It is necessary to
maintain the polarity throughout the network. It is recommended that RS 485 (Belden 9841 - 120
Ohm) twisted pair cables, or similar cables be used.

1.8 Power Source

There are two sets of power terminals on the termination card. Use one set to connect to a 24
VDC power supply and if required loop out to another device via the second set. The detector
has reverse polarity protection to minimize the risk of reverse power connection to the detector.
For further information see Product Specifications on page 8.

Caution: The LaserPLUS detector will not operate when the supply is reversed.

Note: Operating the detector when DC supply voltage is outside the voltage range of 18
VDC and 30 VDC may cause damage to the device.

Note: If intelligent VESDA power supply is fitted it will report power failures (F15) on
VESDAnet. VLP & VLS with GPI terminals connected will maintain their aspirator
speed for an hour after the loss of mains power. After which, the aspirator speed will
be limited to 3000 rpm to conserve power.

1.10 Powering Up
A LaserPLUS detector must be powered up by VESDA accredited personnel only.
After installing the LaserPLUS detector it is necessary to power up the system.
The system takes approximately 15 seconds to power up.
If the system fails to power up, check all power wires are secured to its terminals and the
polarities of the power wires are correctly terminated.
On power up:
• The aspirator starts up and air is felt flowing out of the exhaust port
• If a programmer module is fitted, the word “VESDA” will be displayed
• If a Display Module is fitted, the following indicators are lit:
- Fire Alarm Threshold indicators
- Smoke Threshold indicators on bargraph
- Two digit numerical display
- Various fault indicators if there are any faults
- System OK indicator if there are no faults
If any of the above does not happen, contact your commissioning engineer or distributor to
troubleshoot.
Note: It is normal for the detector to display troubles immediately after power up. Reset
the detector by pressing the reset button on the front cover of the detector to unlatch
the relays and fault LEDs. The fault LEDs on the front cover will illuminate. Proceed
with the preliminary systems check.
