Overview
What it is and how it fits the system.
The Xtralis VPS-215-E5 is the budget unit within the Style E5 power supply range, designed to supply a single-pipe ASD detector that requires only 7Ah batteries, such as the VESDA VLF-250. It delivers 0.5A load with 7Ah batteries (max), reports status via green output-OK and yellow fault LEDs, and carries an IP30 rating in a light grey RAL 9018 textured powdercoat finish. A change-over NO-COM-NC fault relay rated 1A at 30Vdc supports system monitoring.
Technical overview
The VPS-215-E5 is Xtralis's budget entry in the Style E5 power supply range, sized as a low-cost option for a single-pipe aspirating smoke detector that draws only a 7Ah battery reserve, such as the VESDA VLF-250. It offers a 0.5A load capability, with front-panel status shown by a green output-OK LED alongside a yellow fault LED. Housed in a light grey RAL 9018 textured powdercoat enclosure, it holds an IP30 rating and carries a change-over NO-COM-NC fault relay rated 1A at 30Vdc for external system monitoring.
Mains input is nominally 230Vac, validated across a +10% / -15% window, and the regulated DC output sits within a 20.0-30 VDC band. The unit weighs 2.5kg on its own, rising to around 8kg once the maximum batteries are installed. Within the wider Style E5 family it sits alongside the larger VPS-220-E5 and VPS-250-E5, and it directly supersedes the earlier VPS-215-E and VPS-215-U.
