Simplex 4098-VEP-A00-1P is the Simplex-branded VESDA-E VEP one pipe aspirating smoke detector with LED status indicators (model VEP-A00-1P). It draws air through a single sampling pipe and analyzes it in a laser detection chamber for very early warning smoke detection.
VESDA-E VEP uses Flair detection technology with direct imaging of the sampled particles by a CMOS imager combined with multiple photodiodes, which gives reliable detection with fewer nuisance alarms. A powerful aspirator supports up to 130 m (427 ft) of sampling pipe on the one pipe model, and the detector is supported by ASPIRE and Xtralis VSC software for pipe design, commissioning and maintenance.

FAQ
How much sampling pipe can the one pipe model use?
The VESDA-E VEP one pipe model supports a total of 130 m (427 ft) of sampling pipe. The four pipe model supports 560 m (1,837 ft).
Can it replace an older VESDA VLP?
Yes. The VEP occupies the same mounting footprint and pipe, conduit and electrical connector positions as the VESDA VLP, and it communicates with existing VESDA installations over VESDAnet.
Is it suitable for hazardous locations?
Xtralis lists the VEP as suitable for Class 1 Division 2 applications, Groups A, B, C and D.
