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.
Flair Detection Technology
Flair is the revolutionary detection chamber that forms the core of the VESDA-E VEP, providing higher stability and
increased longevity. Direct imaging of the sampled particles using a CMOS imager combined with multiple photo-
diodes allows better detection and fewer nuisance alarms.
Installation, Commissioning and Operation
VESDA-E VEP is equipped with a powerful aspirator that enables use of a total of 130m (427ft) of sampling pipe
in the one pipe model and 560m (1,837ft) of pipe in the four pipe model. 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. VEP is fully supported by the ASPIRE and Xtralis VSC software applications which facilitate ease of pipe
network design, system commissioning and maintenance.
VESDAnet™
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 connectivity
VESDA-E detectors offer connectivity to corporate networks via Ethernet, allowing for devices installed with Xtralis
monitoring and configuration software to connect to the detector.
Backward Compatibility
VESDA-E VEP is compatible with existing VESDA installations. The detector occupies the same mounting footprint,
pipe, conduit and electrical connector positioning as VESDA VLP. VEP is also compatible with existing VESDAnet
installations allowing monitoring of both VESDA-E and legacy detectors via the latest iVESDA application.
