SMOKE DETECTORS, SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEMS

VESDA is recognized as the market leader in early warning smoke detection systems and delivers a high standard of smoke detection technology to a diverse range of well recognized global corporations.

The VESDA product line includes Detectors, Programmers, Displays, Remote Devices, Systems Management Software, Design Software, Power Supplies, Pipe and Fittings, and a complete assembly of support material.

ATP have represented VESDA smoke detection systems for a substantial period of time with all senior staff being fully accredited by VESDA by having successfully completed VESDA’s Advanced training courses.

VESDA early smoke detection systems provide the advantage of a “wider window of opportunity.” All fires have four stages: Incipient (pre-combustion), Visible Smoke, Flaming Fire, and Intense Heat. This chart shows the progression of fire over a time period.

The incipient stage of smoldering fires provides the widest window of opportunity to detect and control the spread of fire. VESDA smoke detectors can be configured to generate multiple alarms within this window, to provide the time needed to help minimize or prevent fire loss.

All VESDA systems incorporate a modular design that permits a multitude of configurations so ATP can meet you’re your requirements.

VESDA LaserPLUS™

VESDA LaserPLUS is the main product of the VESDA range.

It's modular design allows multiple product configurations to more closely meet customer requirements.

The Detector Assembly
The detector assembly contains the laser detection chamber, high efficiency aspirator, monitored filter cartridge, control electronics, and relay interface. The detector assembly can be used as a “distributed” system, with the display, programmer, and VESDAnet socket modules mounted in a remote location. Alternatively, the detector assembly can be configured as a “self-contained” system by replacing the detector's blank panels with the display and/or programming modules.

All detectors come with a head termination card (HTC) with 7 configurable relays, a configurable General Purpose Input (GPI) and VESDAnet socket.

Possible configurations:

• VLP-000, a standard LaserPLUS blank detector
• VLP-400, a LaserPLUS detector with Fire and OK LEDs
• VLP-002, a LaserPLUS detector with Display module
• VLP-012, a LaserPLUS detector with a Programmer and Display module

THE VESDA LaserCOMPACT™

The newest product in the VESDA product range! Specifically designed for smaller areas, LaserCOMPACT offers a simple and cost effective solution to protect single environments, and small areas, including critical process tools (equipment).

The LaserCOMPACT supports 5 LEDs: Fire, Pre-Alarm/Alert, Fault, OK, Reset/Isolate. It has 3 relays on the termination card plus VESDAnet compatibility (VLC-505 version only).

Possible Configurations:

• VLC-500 (RO), Relays interfacing only.
• VLC-505 (VN), Relays and VESDAnet interfacing.

VESDA LaserSCANNER™

VESDA LaserSCANNER is similar to VESDA LaserPLUS, however it allows the system to distinguish and identify the pipe carrying smoke, while sampling multiple sectors. The detection of smoke results in the system locating the sector in Alert. The VESDA LaserSCANNER detector will continue to sample from all sectors to monitor the fire growth and maintain full protection.

Specific display modules are available for the VESDA LaserSCANNER configuration. LaserSCANNER's modular design allows multiple product configurations to more closely meet customer requirements.

All detectors come with a head termination card (HTC) with either 7 or 12 configurable relays, a configurable General Purpose Input (GPI) and VESDAnet socket.

Possible Configurations:

• VLS-300, a standard blank LaserSCANNER detector (12 Relays)
• VLS-700, a LaserSCANNER detector with Fire and OK LEDs (12 Relays)
• VLS-304, a LaserSCANNER detector with a LaserSCANNER Display module (12 Relays)
• VLS-314, a LaserSCANNER detector with a Programmer and LaserSCANNER Display module (12 Relays)

VSM3™

VESDA System Management (VSM) is an intelligent, Windows ™ based graphics communication software.

It is a monitoring and administration tool that supports custom floor plans. VSM allows the user to operate, maintain, program and commission all the VESDA detectors on a single VESDAnet.

Real time and historic events for a single detector, an area, or the entire facility can be collected, processed, and presented in either report or graphical format.

VSM3™ FEATURES

VSM3 has many tools which make monitoring a large network simple. It has a series of menus that allow you to store data about network configurations so that they can be applied to other situations. The menu items also allow you to easily create new smoke zones and assign devices to these zones.

Another series of menus allow you to perform diagnostic tests on devices within the network. Some of the main features of the VSM3 software package are listed below. Those that are unique to VSM3 and not available in the other VESDA monitoring packages are listed with an asterisk.
