Xtralis VESDA-E VEA aspirating smoke detector

The VESDA-E VEA from Xtralis is an aspirating smoke detector (ASD) that provides accurate information on the location of a potential fire source.

The product supports up to 120 individually addressable sampling points networked to a single central detector. By using a central smoke test function, the need to smoke test each individual sample point is eliminated and service time is reduced up to 90%. This is suited to applications where pre-approval or special access to restricted or secure areas is required, or where interruption-free operation is valued. The device also offers improvements over traditional spot or point smoke detectors for commercial areas such as office buildings, educational and healthcare facilities, and retail outlets.

It is claimed the product is the only addressable detector available that delivers “assured detection” through active sampling, which continuously draws air from the protected area to capture traces of smoke; proactive self-supervision; and an auto-cleaning function with integrated blowback to prevent contamination.

Other features include: absolute calibration, dual-stage filtration, internal optics protection and programmable alarm thresholds that ensure reliable early warning.

An iVESDA mobile app also allows for remote monitoring to ensure effective response locally and by fire brigades to minimise loss of property and business interruption.
