Aspirating smoke detector VENTUM PRO LITE 1 | General information Information for the operating company Perform regular visual inspections and function tests to ensure the system remains functional. Such tests are an integral part of the system documentation and must be set out by the installer of the system in accordance with the system parameters.
You will find the characteristics and application areas in this chapter. Characteristics The VENTUM PRO LITE belongs to the group of tried and tested aspirating smoke detectors of POLON-ALFA S.A. In addition to monitoring rooms and equipment, the device can be used to monitor air conditioning units or ducts.
PRO LITE-SL) by means of bridges BR1 and BR2: 10 V, 11 V or 12 V Areas of application The VENTUM PRO LITE is used for early fire and very early fire detection in rooms and facilities. Principle Air samples are taken from the monitored area using a pipe system with defined sampling points and supplied to the detector module.

2 | Product description Image 3: Principle of equipment monitoring The VENTUM PRO LITE can also be used for very early fire detection in rooms with special air conditioning. High-quality goods and systems can be reliably monitored thanks to the high sensitivity level.
▪ A fan to transport the air samples to the detector module On the VENTUM PRO LITE TWO, one of the two detector modules can be optionally equipped with or without air flow sensor and with or without LOGIC·SENS.
Up to four different sensitivity levels can be set on the detector module (see chapter "Sensitivity"). Two monitoring areas can be monitored with a VENTUM PRO LITE TWO (two detector modules). Dual detection dependency and, additionally, a pre- alarm can be achieved by choosing different response sensitivities when monitoring an individual monitoring area.
Page 20
Faults caused by temporary ambient fluctuation can be hidden by adjusting a time delay. LOGIC·SENS A switch on the detector module of the VENTUM PRO LITE can be used to activate or deactivate the intelligent signal processor LOGIC·SENS. By means of the intelligent signal processing, LOGIC·SENS enables deceptive phenomena to be overridden and thus contributes to safe operation without false alarms.
Alarm and fault messages are reset via a connected fire detection control panel. A reset circuit board can be optionally used if, in case of operation of the VENTUM PRO LITE via a fire detection control panel with collective detection lines, alarm and fault messages are reset simultaneously with the resetting of the detection lines.

5 | Project planning Aspirating smoke detector VENTUM PRO LITE Project planning You will find information for the project planning of a VENTUM PRO LITE with the corresponding pipe system in this chapter. General information The project planning of the VENTUM PRO LITE according to EN 54-20 or ISO 7240-20 is described below.
5 | Project planning 5.1.1 Laws, standards and guidelines The basic principles for the project planning of a VENTUM PRO LITE can be found in the following laws, standards and guidelines. In addition to these laws, standards and guidelines, the corresponding national laws, standards and guidelines must be observed and the project planning must be adapted to these specifications.
– Changing direction of the pipe system Pipe connections The VENTUM PRO LITE has two pipe connections. One pipe system may be connected to each of these pipe connections, as long as two detector modules are being used. This means that only one pipe system can be connected if only one detector module is used.
▪ The sampling points should be as evenly distributed as possible in the respective branches. Comply with the limit values of the VENTUM PRO LITE for each pipe system of the selected pipe project planning (see chapter "Project planning limits").
5 | Project planning Aspirating smoke detector VENTUM PRO LITE Image 36: Examples of symmetrical and asymmetrical U-pipe system The previous figure shows an example of a U-pipe system with symmetrical or asymmetrical structure and with calculated diameters of the sampling points (see Chapter Determination of sampling points diameter”).

Installation location of the pipe The exhaust air duct must be selected as the installation location for the pipe system system.
The following must be observed when installing pipe systems in air- conditioning ducts: ▪ Air return is required as the VENTUM PRO LITE and the pipe system are located in areas with different air pressures. ▪ The pipe inlets in the air-conditioning duct must be sealed to be airtight.

For the pipe project planning, a total of 100 m aspiration pipe and aspiration hose is connected to a VENTUM PRO LITE with a fan voltage of 6.5 V. The permissible overall pipe length for the entire pipe project planning can be 120 m according to the project planning table.
5.3.8 Project planning with air return If the VENTUM PRO LITE and the pipe system are installed in areas with different air pressure, return of the aspirated air into the pipe system pressure area is required. For this, a correspondingly long aspiration pipe must be connected to the air outlet of the VENTUM PRO LITE.
NOTE No standard conformity in case of wrong energy supply The energy supply of the VENTUM PRO LITE must be approved in accordance with EN 54-4 or ISO 7240-4. When configuring the external energy supply, the alarm-ready state and the alarm state of the connected devices are taken into account.
