VESDA VEU Aspirating Smoke Detector Instruction Manual

VESDA VEU Aspirating Smoke Detector

INTRODUCTION

The VEU series of aspirating smoke detectors are the premium detector of the VESDA-E range. An Ultra-wide sensitivity range; 15 times greater than VESDA VLP, and provision for more sampling holes provide an increased coverage in high airflow applications by at least 40%. Considerably longer linear pipe runs and extended branched pipe network configurations cater perfectly to applications with higher ceilings providing an increased coverage by up to 80% whilst allowing convenient detector mounting for ease of service and maintenance. A range of revolutionary new features provide unsurpassed detection performance, flexibility, field programmability, connectivity and reduced total cost of ownership.
Flair Detection Technology
Flair is the revolutionary new detection chamber that forms the core of VESDA-E VEU, providing better detection, fewer nuisance alarms, higher stability, increased longevity and particle characterisation. Direct imaging of the sampled particles using a CMOS imager combined with multiple photo- diodes provides vastly more data that can be used to derive actionable information about the observed particles using analytics.
Installation, Commissioning and Operation
VESDA-E VEU features a robust IP40-rated enclosure and is equipped with a powerful aspirator that provides a total pipe length of 800 m (2,624 ft). Out of box operation is made possible with AutoConfig which allows airflow normalisation and AutoLearn Smoke and Flow to be initiated from within the detector. VEU is fully supported by the ASPIRE and Xtralis VSC software applications which facilitate ease of pipe network design, system commissioning and maintenance.
VESDAnetTM
VESDA 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.
Backward Compatibility
VESDA-E VEU is fully compatible with existing VESDA installations. The detector occupies the same mounting footprint, pipe, conduit and electrical connector positioning as VESDA VLP. VEU is also compatible with existing VESDAnet installations allowing monitoring of both VESDA-E and legacy detectors via the latest iVESDA application.
