Description
VEU-A10 is the display build of the VEU, putting a 3.5” screen on an aluminium bodied aspirating detector.
Sampling pipework runs to a total pipe length of 800 m with branches. Sampled air temperature shall reach ambient detector temperature upon entry into the detector.
VEU-A10 is the VESDA-E VEU aspirating smoke detector with 3.5” Display in an Aluminium Enclosure. An intuitive LCD icon display gives instant status information for immediate response, and the VEU series is the premium detector of the VESDA-E range.
Detection uses Flair, the chamber at the core of the VESDA-E VEU, which brings higher stability and increased longevity; the underlying method is short wavelength laser-based detection. Dynamic range runs 0.0002%/m (0.00006% obs/ft) to 20% obs/m (6.25% obs/ft).
Read the full technical description
Seven programmable relays are available in latch or non-latch states. The detector carries CE, UKCA, VdS, FM, CSFM, ActivFire and CCC approval, with EN 54-20 and ISO 7240-20 as the standards; compliance and approvals vary by region and by model.

Aspirator setting 1 draws 8.0 W quiescent, setting 5 draws 10.0 W and setting 10 draws 15.5 W. Under EN 54-20, Class A is 80 holes at a Fire 1 of 0.015% obs/m, Class B 80 holes at 0.026% obs/m, and 100 holes at 0.062% obs/m for Class C, with classification of any configuration determined using ASPIRE. An extensive event log of 20,000 events supports event analysis and system diagnostics, and field replaceable sub-assemblies enable faster service and maximum uptime.
