The VGPS-evo is a gas pressure proving system with ventilation interlock and optional CO2 detection.
The system will check the ventilation is switched on and running before performing a down stream integrity
check ensuring gas tightness before use. It will close the gas solenoid valve in the event of a ventilation
failure, gas leak detected during test, low incoming gas pressure or if the emergency stop/fire alarm is
activated.
It is designed for use primarily in kitchens.
Product Dimensions 255mm x 180mm x 60mm
Before commencing installation please familiarise yourself to the equipment by reading the comprehensive
installation instructions. If in doubt then please call 0161 233 0600.
It is a statutory requirement that this safety system is installed and commissioned
A commissioning certificate must be issued to the end user along with instructions for the operation of the
equipment.
As the Manufacturer, Medem UK should commission this safety system whereupon a commissioning report
will be forwarded to the installing agent who should provide a copy to the end user.
At the point of our commissioning an individual serial number will be attached to the system along with a 24
hour help line number. Photos and all relevant information for the installation will then be stored on the
Medem site database to be accessed in the event of a call on the 24 hour help line. The warranty period for
the panel and sender unit will then be extended to Ten years.

  • Page 2: System Description

    The VPPS-evo v4 is a gas proving ventilation interlock system with optional CO2 detection. The VGPS-evo system comprises of a mains powered main control panel, and low voltage pressure sender unit (plus fitting kit). The pressure sender unit it mounted onto the gas valve (with the fitting kit) and transmits the gas pressure information back to the main panel in order to preform its integrity test.

Live & Neutral 230 volts supply from 3amp switched fuse spur. 230 volts out to gas solenoid valve. Mains rated BMS relay set using switch Remote emergency stop and thermal links, SELV, connect in series multiple buttons (requires a N/C circuit).

    It is not optional and must be connected, It is mounted to the gas solenoid valve inlet and outlet test ports using 8mm OD copper pipe. Use the appropriate Medem fitting kit to fit the control valve size (see page 12,13).
  • Page 5: Option Switches

    There are various option switches available on the system for accommodating some of the more common situations. There always needs to be careful consideration to risk when changing any of the default settings, Medem (UK) Ltd would always recommend an onsite risk assessment be carried out before any changes are implemented.

    Ensure that the protective cover labels (RED) are removed only after the completion of all building work and the system has been commissioned by the Medem engineer. The labels are required to be removed for the detectors to operate, but removal before the completion of works risks contaminating the sensor element.
  • Page 11 After installation a simple bump test can be performed by using an appropriate level test gas in order to check operation. Full testing and calibration checking takes place during a Medem commissioning. Detector Location information Detector location will vary dependant on the individual characteristics of the target gas that is being monitored for.

    Pressure Sender & VGPS-evo v4 Valve connection Direction of flow Ensure that the valve is correctly installed with regard to the direction of the flow of gas and that the Sender Unit is fitted the correct way round. (Note: there is no flow “through” the pressure sender unit, it is purely reading the pressures either side of the valve.
