VESDA-E VES-A10-P Product Guide Introduction The VESDA-E VES-A10-P is a scanning aspirating smoke detector (ASD) that provides very early warning of fire conditions by drawing air samples through an air sampling pipe network. The VESDA-E VES-A10-P can monitor and individually report on four sectors in the protected area.

Threshold starts at one quarter of the lowest Alert threshold and self-adjusts to minimize unnecessary scans if they occur. Once this fast initial scan is completed the VES-A10-P continues to monitor all four sectors. The sector with the highest smoke during the initial scan is preferentially scanned so as to provide the fastest response. www.xtralis.com...

Detectors should be commissioned with a smoke test. As part of commissioning, the installation ® should be verified using a smoke detector tester. Xtralis recommends the use of SmokeCheck HSI Fire for this system test. Prior to commissioning the detector: 1.
AutoLearn Smoke AutoLearn Smoke is initiated by using Xtralis VSC or the AutoConfig button located on the main board of the detector. During the AutoLearn Smoke process, the detector determines the average smoke and peak smoke obscuration levels and sets suitable alarm thresholds for the operating environment.
VESDA-E VES-A10-P Product Guide AutoLearn Flow AutoLearn Flow process is initiated within Xtralis VSC or the AutoConfig button located on the main board of the detector. During the AutoLearn Flow process, the detector normalizes the airflow and then monitors over time the average, maximum and minimum air flow levels and sets suitable air flow thresholds that will not give rise to nuisance flow faults due to normal flow variations.
