VESDA VLF (LaserFOCUS) Aspirating Smoke Detector

VESDA VLF (LaserFOCUS) Aspirating Smoke Detector

£1,107.23 – £1,472.11

SKU: 8f4db4a9eb12 Category: Brand:

Summary

The VESDA VLF by Xtralis is an aspirating smoke detector ideal for small, business-critical spaces. Available in two models, the VLF-250 covers up to 250 m2 (2,690 sq. ft.), and the VLF-500 covers areas up to 500 m2 (5,380 sq. ft.).

The detector works by continually drawing air into sampling holes in a pipe network. The air is ltered and passed into a detection chamber where light scattering technology detects the presence of very small amounts of smoke. Detector status information is communicated on the detector display and via relays or optional interface cards.

Out-Of-The-Box Operation

The VLF can be installed and commissioned out-of-the-box without the need for a special interface or software programming tools.

In operation, the unique Smoke DialTM display provides the user with an instant understanding of a smoke event, even from a distance. Should a fault occur, the user simply opens the eld service door and activates the Instant Fault Finder feature to determine the speci c fault condition. This information can then be passed onto their re service company, ensuring that service technicians arrive onsite fully prepared.

Ultrasonic Flow Sensing

The patent-pending Ultrasonic Flow Sensing used in the VLF provides a direct reading of the sampling pipe ow rate. The system is immune to air temperature and pressure changes and is unaffected by contamination. The VLF is the rst air sampling smoke detector to use ultrasonic ow sensing.
