VESDA-E VEA

The VESDA-E VEA series of detectors

combine VESDA reliability and early warning
smoke detection with pinpoint addressability
and a variety of annunciation options that truly
surpass traditional spot detectors.

They use patented air sampling points and multichannel microbore air-sampling
with three alarm sensitivity settings for the sampling points. As a
multi-channel, addressable system, the VEA detector is able to divide a
protected space into sampling locations, enabling the localization of potential
sources of fire for faster incident response. The detectors are suitable for
protection of areas where pinpoint location of fire events is essential, thus
providing ideal fire detection solutions for healthcare, offices, education, retail,
prisons and electrical cabinets. A wide range of features provide flexibility, field
programmability, enhanced connectivity and reduced total cost of ownership.

INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

The VEA detector features a robust IP40-rated enclosure and is equipped with
a powerful pump that provides up to 100 m (330 ft) microbore tube length. It is
fully supported by the Xtralis VSC software which facilitates ease of system
commissioning and maintenance. During commissioning, the normalization
process establishes the flow performance parameters. Local smoke test ports
are used during servicing to verify that the system is fully operational. Field
replaceable filter, smoke sensor module, pump and rotary valve components
result in less down time and ease of maintenance.

COLOUR LCD DISPLAY

The VEA-040-A10 detector features a 3.5” colour LCD display which provides a
range of status information including alarm and fault conditions as well as smoke
level. Screens for each type of information are available using a simple navigation
system.

VESDAnet™
VESDA detectors and devices communicate on VESDAnet which provides a
robust bi-directional communication network allowing continued redundant
operation even during single point wiring failures. VESDAnet enables primary
reporting, centralized configuration, control, maintenance and monitoring.

ETHERNET AND WIFI CONNECTIVITY

VESDA-E detectors offer Ethernet and WiFi connectivity as standard features.
The detector can be added to a corporate network, allowing WiFi enabled tablet
devices and laptops installed with Xtralis configuration software to connect
wirelessly to the detector via the network.

HOW IT WORKS

The VEA detector draws a combined air sample from a network of microbore
flexible tubing from all sampling points in the protected area, then filters and
analyzes the sample in laser detection chambers in the smoke sensor module.
When smoke particles are detected and the smoke level reaches set alarm
thresholds, the system will raise appropriate alarm conditions. After a Fire 1 alarm
is raised, the system will sequentially scan the sampling locations via the rotary
valve to identify one or more sampling locations with the fire alarm event. To assist
in investigation of the source of a fire, if the system is in Pre-Alarm, the user can
initiate a smoke scan of all sampling locations.

The VEA uses a vacuum pump which provides superior detection times for long
tube lengths. The system monitors the airflow within the installation, allowing
detection of breakages or blockages of individual sampling points and sampling
tubes, with faults indicated on the display and to the monitoring equipment.

Alarms and fire location can be signaled via Relays and VESDAnet. Ethernet and
WiFi can be used for configuration and secondary monitoring, and a USB interface
is provided for field installation and maintenance. The optional Relay StaX module
can be used to identify and signal fire source locations on a fire panel loop.

A series of LEDs display Alarm, Trouble, Disable and detector power on status. A
button allows the user to Reset or Disable the detector. Additionally, the VEA-A10
features a 3.5” LCD display which shows detector status.

Expansion to 60, 80, 100 or 120 sampling points can be achieved by installing
additional Expansion StaX modules.
