FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS | ASPIRATING EQUIPMENT | 73 t: 0845 884 7000 | f: 0845 884 6000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk | @channelsafety | EDITION 7 Vesda  EN54Third Party Approved PRODUCT RANGE OVERVIEW Vesda Aspirating equipment systems can be equipped with modules to detect hazardous/combustible gases to extend their value beyond smoke detection to include gas detection and environmental monitoring. Vesda is a very early warning aspirating smoke detector; with continuous air sampling, it provides the earliest possible warning of an impending fire hazard. VESDA LASERFOCUS The VESDA LaserFOCUS delivers advanced and cost-effective very early warning for small environments. The Vesda LaserFOCUS model protects areas upto 250m² (2,500 sq.ft), and the covers upto 500m² (5,000 sq.ft). In addition to world leading and well-established Vesda features the LaserFOCUS provides a new range of features and built-in intelligence for quick installation, commissioning and servicing. VESDA LASERPLUS The VESDA LaserPLUS is the flagship of the VESDA aspirating smoke detector product line. Like all Vesda destectors, it detects fire at the earliest possible stage and reliably measures very low to high concen- trationsof smoke. It has the worlds widest sensitivity range 0.005%–20% obscuration/m (0.0015%–6% obscuration/ft). Vesda LaserPLUS supports four configurable alarm levels (Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2) and protects areas upto 2,000m² (20,000 sq.ft). VESDA LASERSCANNER The VESDA LaserSCANNER locates the origin of smoke by indentifying the sector (pipe) with the highest level of smoke and then continues to sample air from all sectors to monitor fire growth. The Vesda LaserSCANNER also provides four alarm levels for each individual pipe (Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2) and provides individual pipe addressability and settings. It protects areas up to 2,000m² (20,000 sq.ft). VESDA LASERCOMPACT The VESDA LaserCOMPACT offers protection for small to medium areas that require cost-effective very early warning. It offers the same wide sensitivity range as the LaserPLUS and LaserSCANNER- 0.005 to 20% obs/m (0.0015 to 6% obs/ft). The Vesda Laser COMPACT supports three configurable alarm levels (Alert, Pre-alarm and Fire). VESDA LASERQUANTUM The Vesda LaserQUANTUM detector is a cost-effective ASD solution that meets the unique needs of numerous small area applications of up to 100m² (1,000 Sq.ft). Examples of these include landline remote offices, base station controllers, remote base stations, small server room and many other small important rooms. The LaserQUANTUM combines the benefits of very early warning with simplified and flexible ASD offering at the lowest cost of ownership possible. VESDA - ACCESSORIES The Vesda range of Pipes and Fittings have been specially developed to provide fully matched components for the optimal performance of your whole Vesda aspirating system. They are also manufactured to comply with the requirements of BS5391 Part 1, EN 61386-1 and the new EN54 Part 20 guaranteeing you quality. The pipes are a metric standard of 25mm external diameter with suitable adapters available for imperial to metric conversions and are designed for use with any make of low pressure aspirating type smoke detection system. Unlike some metal pipes, Vesda ABS pipework is very light in weight. This makes it easy to handle in high and difficult places where systems are often installed. HOW DOES VESDA WORK? A Vesda detector is much like a vacuum cleaner. It sucks air from the protected environment via purpose built aspirating pipe and fittings and samples the quality of air passing through the Vesda detection laser chamber. Vesda detectors are available in a variety of models to accommodate a broad range of environments and applications. From small to very large, open spaces and from the cleanest to the dirtiest environments, Vesda provides reliable, high-sensitivity, very early warning smoke detection. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Vesda delivers absolute protection across a wide range of industries and applications:Apartments, Hotels, Shops, Offices (and other accommodation), Correctional Facilities, Clean Rooms, Cold Storage, Hospitals and Health care, Insurance, Nuclear Facilities, Portable Switch Rooms, Power Generation, Records Storage, Transportation, Wind Power Generation & Warehousing. TYPICAL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE The diagram below shows a typical installation of a Vesda Aspirating Detector with piping. VESDA FireTRACER The Vesda FireTRACER is a unique and versatile high-sensitivity ASD that is capable of pinpointing the source of incipient smoke to speed response, enhance investigation, and minimise business disruption and downtime. This advanced detector provides intelligent addressibility to identify up to 15 protected areas via microbore tubes.
