    VESDA-E VES-A00-P Product Guide Mounting The VES-A00-P detector can be mounted in an upright or inverted position. Do not mount the detector with a sideways orientation as shown in Figure 4-3 below. Figure 4-3: Sideways orientation Ensure the mounting surface is flat as this allows an air tight seal to be achieved between the sampling pipe and the tapered air inlet pipes on the detector.
  • Page 25 VESDA-E VES-A00-P Product Guide 4.2.1 Inverting the Detector If the pipe network design requires that the sampling pipes enter the detector at the bottom, it is possible to achieve this by inverting the detector.
