VESDA-E VES-A00-P-UL is the VESDA-E VES sector-addressable aspirating smoke detector with LED indicators in a plastic enclosure, the UL 268 7th Edition model. The VES monitors smoke by individual sampling pipe, so one zone is split into four sectors. When smoke passes the adaptive scan threshold it scans each sector, reports the first to reach Alert as the First Alarm Sector, and then keeps monitoring all four. Each sector has four programmable alarm thresholds: Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2.

FAQ
How does the VES identify where smoke is coming from?
It samples all sectors together; when smoke reaches the Adaptive Scan Threshold it scans each sector, and the first sector to reach Alert is reported as the First Alarm Sector. It then keeps monitoring all sectors.
How many alarm levels are there?
Four individually configurable levels per sector: Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2.
What area can one VES cover?
Up to 2,000 m² (21,520 sq. ft), with up to 280 m (919 ft) of linear pipe or 560 m (1,837 ft) branched.
What power does it need?
18 to 30 VDC, 24 V nominal.
