Description
VEP-A10-P carries the 3.5” Display. It weighs 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs) and takes 4 x 26 mm (1.02 in) cable entries.
Multi stage filtration and optical protection with clean air barriers ensures lifetime detection performance, and the detector holds consistent performance over its lifetime via absolute calibration.
Read the full technical description
Seven relays are programmable to latching or non-latching states, and the enclosure is rated IP40. The detector works with existing VESDAnet installations, so both VESDA-E and legacy detectors can be watched through the latest VSC and VSM4 applications.
VEP-A10-P is the four pipe VESDA-E VEP aspirating smoke detector with a 3.5” Display in a plastic enclosure, an Aspirating Smoke Detection product built on Flair detection technology, which delivers reliable very early warning in a wide range of environments with minimal nuisance alarms.
Four pipes reach 280 m (919 ft) laid linear or 560 m (1,837 ft) branched, covering 2,000 m2 (21,520 sq. ft); A/B/C hole counts are 40/80/100 and each pipe needs a minimum of 15 l/m airflow. Classification runs Class A (40 holes / Fire 1 = 0.028% obs/m), Class B (80 holes / Fire 1 = 0.027% obs/m) and Class C (100 holes / Fire 1 = 0.056% obs/m); classification of any configuration is determined using ASPIRE.
Direct imaging of the sampled particles using a CMOS imager combined with multiple photo-diodes allows better detection and fewer nuisance alarms. USB is present for PC configuration and firmware upgrade using a memory stick. The model carries CE and UKCA marking with FM, VdS, CSFM, ActivFire and CCC approval, against EN 54-20 and ISO 7240-20, though approvals and regulatory compliance vary by region and between product models.
