    LCD Programmer. The VLF detector can either be configured using VSC via the direct serial connection or via VESDAnet using VSC or with the LCD Programmer. VSC Online help is available for more detailed information.
  • Page 18 Xtralis VESDA VESDAnet Interface Card Product Guide ® Sampling pipe functionality The VLF has a single sampling pipe as opposed to four on the VLP. The LCD Programmer shall indicate the VLF pipe as the VLP Pipe 1. This means that the only sampling pipe that can be enabled for use is Pipe 1.
  • Page 19 Xtralis VESDA VESDAnet Interface Card Product Guide ® Configuring Relays The VLF has three relays: Fault, Action and Fire 1. Using VSC the configuration is shown below. Figure 6 - VLF Relay config screen as viewed from VSC Minimum Status Period With the VLF detector, the minimum interval between detector status messages being sent across the network can be set up to 20 seconds.
  • Page 20 Xtralis VESDA VESDAnet Interface Card Product Guide ® Smoke Thresholds With the LCD Programmer, the settings for choosing threshold levels based on workdays and holiday periods cannot be used. Also, the cumulative alarms setting cannot be used. The LCD Programmer enforces VLP threshold ranges.
