  • Page 9: Introduction

    Hochiki America Corporation FireNET Vapor VPR-SD1 Product Guide Introduction The VPR-SD1 is an aspirating smoke detection system that utilizes an air-sampling pipe network to draw air towards analog addressable point detectors installed inside a sealed enclosure. The single channel VPR-SD1 detector enclosure (Figure 1-1) has one pipe inlet and provision for one or two point detectors allowing for redundant or double-knock detection.

  • Page 30 FireNET Vapor VPR-SD1 Product Guide Hochiki America Corporation 3.10.2 Duct Pipe Network Installation Rules 1. While not mandatory, it is recommended that when possible locate probes a minimum of six duct widths downstream from bends or inlets. Such locations ensure that air flow is non-turbulent and that smoke is properly mixed with air in the duct for maximum detector/sensor efficiency.
  • Page 31 Hochiki America Corporation FireNET Vapor VPR-SD1 Product Guide Notes: The sample and exhaust tubes should be installed in a location of relatively non-turbulent air flow and within the intended opening velocity range of 0-4000 feet per minute (0 to 1220 m/minute). It is recommended that measurements of airflow and examination of engineering specifications that define expected duct air velocities under all conditions and that measured velocities do not exceed the airspeed rating of the detector to be used.
