VESDA ECO-EX Detector by Xtralis

Overview

This document is an addendum to the standard VESDA ECO product guide
supplied with the VESDA ECO-EX. It describes the additional installation and
operation requirements and limitations of the VESDA ECO-EX gas detector with
respect to its use in hazardous areas.

Introduction to the VESDA ECO-EX

The VESDA ECO adds gas detection capability to existing or new installations of
VESDA Aspirated Smoke Detection (ASD) systems; utilising the same 25mm or ¾"
BSP air sampling pipe network.
The VESDA ECO-EX, with the original VESDA ECO gas detector at its heart,
provides a gas detection solution suitable for use in Class 1 Division 2 hazardous
area applications.
The VESDA ECO can detect a range of flammable, toxic and oxygen gas hazards
and provides a greater area of coverage than traditional fixed point gas detection
systems.
VESDA ECO is designed for use in indoor/sheltered locations only.
VESDA ECO has been independently tested to verify full compatibility with Xtralis
manufactured ASD without infringing associated performance approvals e.g. EN54-
20 and UL 268
The embedded and PC software complimenting the VESDA ECO provides a wide
range of user defined parameters and reporting capabilities.
The detector easily interfaces with remote audible / visual indicators or a 3
controller such as a fire alarm panel or building management system.
To ensure correct application of the VESDA ECO gas detector it should
be fitted and commissioned by Xtralis trained and accredited distributors /
installers only.
The VESDA ECO gas detector has been designed and approved for use with
compatible Xtralis manufactured aspirating systems only. The VESDA ECO product
warranty will be invalidated if attached to any 3
rd
The use of 3
party gas detection as part of an Xtralis aspirating sample pipe
network will invalidate the Xtralis product approvals and warranty.
