Page 6: Introduction To Vesda-E Vea Commissioning
The objective and outcome of the commissioning process is to provide a fully functional VESDA- E VEA detector that matches local code requirements and customer specification. -
Page 7: The Commissioning Process
The commissioning process is a step-by-step process designed to systematically check and validate all the operational aspects of the VESDA-E VEA detector. The process benchmarks the performance levels tailored for each site and generates the necessary documentation for the effective management and maintenance of the detector. -
Page 8: Configuration
Note: Make sure to click the Apply button to save the configuration into the VEA detector. To record the detector's configuration either print it using VSC or record in Annex A: VESDA-E VEA Configuration Record. To print the configuration, select the detector on VSC tree view at left and choose the Print command on the File menu. -
Page 9: Nfpa72 Code Compliance
NFPA72 Code Compliance NFPA72 Requirements VESDA-E VEA is classified as an Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) product and it complies with NFPA72 Initial Acceptance and Annual testing requirements with minimal testing. With full supervision and automated centralized tests, VEA verifies end to end system operation continuously and automatically performs system integrity tests at set times and at much shorter intervals than the annual period required by NFPA72. -

Commissioning Guide VESDA-E VEA Commissioning Tests Initial Tests 1. Run a Flow Scan to the detector. Select the detector, right click it then select Device and click Start Flow Scan Base. This process might take 35 minutes. 2. Generate a log file with all the available data. Check the airflow values in the event log for each tube as shown in the example below. -

4. Record results in the commissioning forms Smoke Tests Smoke tests are required to meet the local codes and standards requirement, how VESDA-E VEA meets the NFPA 72 requirements is described in section 4 of this document. 1. Perform the local smoke test using Start Local Smoke Test command and then complete the test using "Stop Local Smoke Test"... -
Page 12: Walk Test
This step satisfies NFPA 72 smoke test requirement of testing longest tube on an ASD system. It is not necessary to test every sampling point for smoke test as explained in section 3. Ensure that the transport time is within the limits specified in VESDA-E VEA Installation Sheet (Document # 27679), reproduced below: Transport time is determined by the length of the microbore tubes used on the detector. -
