Overview
Notifier intelligent VESDA-E VES detectors VES-A00-P-NTF-UL and VES-A10-P-NTF-UL have an integrated Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) mod-
ule to communicate with a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) directly over the SLC loop. The intelligent VES detectors are variants of the conventional
VESDA-E VES detectors with built-in SLC interface module. The VESDA-E VES-A00-P-NTF-UL and VES-A10-P-NTF-UL are UL268, 7th Edition
compliant.
Other than the way they communicate with the FACP, the VESDA-E SLC detectors operate the same as the equivalent conventional detectors. Refer to
the respective conventional detector product guides. (See "Related Product Documents" on page 2.).
NOTE: This product guide describes the specific intelligent VESDA-E features that are different from the respective conventional detectors.
NOTE: For readability, the following terms are used as defined by the product's Installation Instructions:
—"VES-P-NTF-UL" refers to VES-A00-P-NTF-UL and VES-A10-P-NTF-UL
—"VES-P" refers to VES-A00-P and VES-A10-P.
In the case of exceptions, individual models will be specified.
It is essential that anyone using this manual is trained in VESDA-E products and has the knowledge and appropriate certification from the local fire
and electrical authorities.

FCC Compliance Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designated to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, connect the equipment to a power outlet which is on a different power
circuit to the receiver or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Regional Regulatory Requirements and Notices
UL

Open Area Applications: Covers the applications where users expect nuisance alarm sources such as cooking. Under UL268 7th edition Open Area
Applications, it is specified that a detector is not permitted to signal an alarm in UL-defined "nuisance alarm" conditions.
Special Applications: Covers the applications where very early warning is paramount and users do not expect nuisance alarm sources such as
cooking. Under UL268 7th edition Special Applications, it is specified that a detector is permitted to use higher sensitivity settings, and Open Area
Applications limitations do not apply.
Use of Software Tools (ASPIRE and VSC / VSM4)
The ASPIRE pipe modeling software tool from Xtralis is used to analyze pipework designs to achieve UL compliance. For UL applications explained
above, ASPIRE software is required to design sampling pipe networks that conform to the performance claims verified by UL and listed in Table 1
