UL, CSFM Listed* Simplex VESDA-E VES IDNet Aspirating Smoke Detectors with IDNet Communications

Introduction VESDAnet™
The Simplex VESDA-E VES IDNet series of smoke detectors are similar VESDA devices communicate on VESDAnet, a bi-directional
to the VESDA-E VEP aspirating smoke detectors, but include a valve communication network that provides continued redundant operation
mechanism in the inlet manifold and software to control the airflow during single point wiring failures. VESDAnet enables centralized
from the four sectors or pipes. Using this configuration, you can divide configuration, control, maintenance, and monitoring.
a single zone into four separate sectors, for example, distinguishing
between separate aisles within a data room. With the VES, the user can Features
locate the source of smoke by identifying the first sector to reach the
Alert level. The detector then continues to sample from all sectors to
monitor fire growth and report separate alarm levels for each sector. In
addition, the VES delivers a range of revolutionary features that provide
user value.
How it works
The VES draws air from all sectors in use. If the smoke level reaches the
Adaptive Scan Threshold, the VES quickly scans each sector to identify
which sector is carrying smoke. The first sector to reach the Alert level
is designated as the First Alarm Sector (FAS) and is signalled to the user.

If two or more sectors reach the Alert level, the sector with the highest
with LEDs, addressable four-pipe: 4098-VES-A00-P
smoke concentration is designated as the FAS. When the Fast Scan
completes and identifies the FAS, the VES continues to monitor all four
sectors to track fire growth and maintain full protection of the area.

VESDA-E VES 3.5 in. display and sector status reference

The VES display home page has a bar graph to indicate the smoke level and adaptive scan threshold. Fault icons indicate various fault conditions.
When the adaptive scan threshold is exceeded, the VES display automatically transitions to the sector status page to indicate the smoke level and
alarm level for each sector. If you configure alarms as latched, alarm indications for each sector are retained until you apply a reset. The VES display
only returns to the home page by user control.
