Special application mode is suitable for areas where early warning is paramount, in this mode, the detector may not be compliant with the Nuisance requirement of UL 268 Ed7 standard.
  • Page 8 Note that the maximum pipe length is dependent on pipe layouts and fittings used. Ensure that the correct setting for UL7 mode in the Smoke Thresholds setting screen of Xtralis VSC is set correctly for the application, special application modes permit higher sensitivities and must only be used where cooking will not occur.

    For example, the installer would connect directly to a VEP-A00-UL using the USB port with a laptop running Xtralis VSC in order to configure the detector to enable Ethernet, the parameters of which could be unique for each installation. A connection profile would need to be defined for the temporary USB connection, and then for the permanent connection using VESDAnet or Ethernet.

    If the VEP-A00-UL detector identifies a fault condition, the Fault LED on the front of the detector illuminates and an event containing details of the condition is written to the Xtralis VSC active event list and the detector's event log. The buzzer will beep once every 30 seconds if the Urgent fault beep and Minor fault beep checkboxes on the Relay configuration screen (section 5.5.10) are ticked.

    Xtralis VSC and the date, time, fault number and description of any faults can be viewed. The Xtralis VSC software also displays any current faults in the active event list. The list displays the date and time of the fault, the serial number of the device on which the fault has occurred, the zone number, fault number, and a description of the fault.
