Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the visual status indicators on VESDA Sensepoint XCL –
Micro / Large Bore?
A:
•
Green: Normal (gas concentration is within normal range).
•
Red (flashes): Alarm (gas concentration is beyond the alarm
threshold).
•
Yellow (flashes): Fault state.
•
Blue (flashes): Bluetooth pairing between detector and smart device
is in progress.
•
Blue (steady): Bluetooth connection is established.
Q: How does VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore connect to a VEA tube?
A: VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore connects to VEA tubes 6mm (1/4") OD using flexible tubes
(supplied).
Q: How does VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore connect to a pipe?
A: VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore connects to pipes using 60° elbows (supplied).
Q: Where does VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore connect on a VEA tube?
A: VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore can connect at any point along the length of the VEA tube.
Q: Where does VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore connect on a pipe?
A: VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore can connect at any point of the pipe network. Use ASPIRE
pipe modelling tool to validate pipe network performance (transport time, hole pressure/flow) under
such conditions.
Q: How many VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore detectors can connect to a single VEA
tube?
A: x2 VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore detectors per tube, total of 80 per VEA unit.
Q: How many VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore detectors can connect to a single pipe?
A: Multiple VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore detectors can connect on a single pipe. Use
ASPIRE pipe modelling tool to validate pipe network performance (transport time, hole pressure/flow)
under such conditions.
Q: What is the flow orientation for the VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro / Large Bore detectors?
A:
•
VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore can operate in any flow orientation.
•
VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Large Bore flow orientation is marked on the flow cap.
Q: Why do you bump test the VESDA Sensepoint XCL detectors?
A: To verify:
•
Accuracy of gas reporting.
•
Activation of output signals.
•
Integrity of VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore and VEA tube connections.
Q: How often do you bump test the VESDA Sensepoint XCL detectors?
A: In between calibration
