product documentation is listed below in the Reference Documents section.
System Components
The detector is shipped with the following components:
• 1 aspirating smoke detector
• 1 mounting bracket
• 1 mounting template for directly mounting the detector to the mounting surface
• 1 End of Line Resistor for the monitored GPI
• 1 installation instruction sheet
• 40 tube inlet blanking plugs (P/N VSP-998)
Prerequisites
• A completed system design.
• A 24V DC Power Supply and backup battery, compliant with local codes and
standards.
• Screws and inserts that are appropriate for the installation location.
Type A to Type B USB Interface Lead, required for initial configuration of the
•
detector.
Labels as specified in the system design, e.g. Sampling Point labels
•
• Cable glands that are compliant with the IP rating of the detector.
Conduit, as specified in the system design.
•
• 1.1 mm 2 (18 AWG) or larger wiring for power.
• 0.2 mm 2 to 2.5 mm 2 (24 - 12 AWG) wiring for relays.
A PC or laptop installed with Xtralis VSC for initial configuration.
•
• Standard connection instructions for where the detectors are to be added to a corporate
network.
Standards Compliance
UL and ULC
• Special Application: High (1.6%/m [0.5%/ft]) to Standard (8.0%/m [2.5 %/ft])
• Open Area Protection, 0 to 300 ft/min air velocity: High (1.6%/m [0.5%/ft]) to
Standard (8.0%/m [2.5%/ft])
• Open Area Protection, 300/1000/2000 ft/min air velocity: High (1.6%/m [0.5%/ft]) to
Enhanced (4.0%/m [1.3%/ft])
• Open Area Protection, 3000/4000 ft/min air velocity: High (1.6%/m [0.5%/ft])

Environmental Requirements
• Temperature
• Ambient: 0°C to 39°C (32°F to 102°F)
• Sampled Air: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
• Tested to: 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F)
• Humidity: 10-95% RH, non-condensing
Note: Please consult your Xtralis representative for information on operation outside
these parameters or where sampled air is continually above 0.05% obs/m
(0.015% obs/ft) under normal operating conditions.
Transport Time
Transport time is determined by the length of the microbore tubes used on the detector.
There is no provision for the user to adjust the transport time and there is no tube
modelling tool required for VEA.
The transport time is given in the table below for various tube lengths.
Maximum Tube Length Longest Transport Time
30m [98ft]
40m [131ft]
50m [164ft]
60m [197ft]
70m [230ft]
80m [262ft]
90m [295ft]
100m [328ft]

Prepare Detector:
Remove the appropriate plugs for electrical cable installation.
• Do not remove the plugs from holes that will not be used.
• Feed the electrical wiring connections through the cable entry ports.
Use the correct cable gland size to fit into the 26 mm (1") cable entry port. Use
•
correctly rated cable glands to maintain the required IP rating.
