  • Page 23: General Purpose Input (Gpi) Functions

    VESDA LaserPLUS Product Guide ® General Purpose Input (GPI) Functions The input terminal requires a voltage supply between 5V and 30 VDC to operate. The input is isolated from the system by an opto-coupler device. Connect the GPI + terminal to the positive output and the GPI - terminal to the ground output of the external device.

  • Page 24: Mounting The Laserplus

    LCD Programmer choose Isolate Disabled from the Button Lockout menu. 1.5 Mounting the LaserPLUS The LaserPLUS detector can be mounted onto the wall or on any suitable secure surface using the mounting bracket. It is strongly recommended that the detector is mounted on to the mounting bracket included with the packaging.

  • Page 25: Mounting The Laserplus In Normal Orientation

    Use the four keyhole slots to secure the mounting box to a flat surface, ensuring that it is horizontally straight. Re-install the chassis into the mounting box. Carefully re-connect the looms and complete the cabling prior to closing the front cover. See Internal Wiring for LaserPLUS on page 30...

  • Page 26: Recess Mounting Kit

    VESDA LaserPLUS Product Guide ® Note: The laser detector chamber, head processor card and flow sensors are factory calibrated as a matched set. Separating the set and replacing it with components from another set may cause the detector to malfunction, requiring re-calibration at the factory.

    VESDAnet cables are terminated at the VESDAnet A and B Terminals on the termination card. Communication wires from another VESDA device are brought into the detector at one terminal and looped out to another device on VESDAnet from the other terminal. It is necessary to maintain the polarity throughout the network.

  • Page 29: Connections For Gpi

    LaserPLUS Product Guide ® The LaserPLUS detector is shipped with the VESDAnet A and B terminals looped. If the detector is not to be networked with other devices, then do not disturb this loop. Remove this loop to connect the detector to the VESDAnet.
