Environmental Requirements
• Temperature
- Ambient: 32°F to 100°F (0°C to 38°C)
- Sampled Air: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) *
• Humidity: 5-95% RH, non-condensing
* The sampled air temperature shall be within the Ambient temperature specification at entry into the Detector. Refer to
Xtralis Design Guides and Application Notes for sampled air pre-conditioning.
Note: Please consult your Xtralis representative for information on operation outside these
parameters or where sampled air is continually above 0.015% obs/ft (0.05% obs/m)
under normal operating conditions.
Transport Time
Transport time is determined by the length of the microbore tubes used on the detector. There is no
provision for the user to adjust the transport time and there is no tube modelling tool required for
VEA. The transport time is given in the table below for various tube lengths.
Maximum Tube Length Longest Transport Time
98ft [30m]
131ft [40m]
164ft [50m]
197ft [60m]
230ft [70m]

Prepare Detector:
Test Port Plugs
• Ensure that the two smoke test port plugs (I) are in place and fully inserted.
Exhaust Port
• Ensure that the exhaust port (J) at the bottom of the left side of the detector is open.
• Remove the two transit screws (H).
Note: The transit screws are used to hold the air
pump during transit. If the screws are not
removed excessive noise will be generated.
• Position the mounting bracket (A) to allow electrical
conduit (B) to line up horizontally with the alignment
marks (C).
• Mark positions for pilot holes on the mounting surface
A
through five recessed screw holes (D).

detector with the mounting stud slots on the mounting
bracket, and slide the detector down until the top
of the detector is flush with the top of the mounting
bracket.
F
• Open the door by inserting an Allen key (preferred),
Philips head screwdriver or flat blade screwdriver with
the blade vertically oriented into the hole at bottom left
and press firmly.
• Remove the tape covering the partially inserted
locking screw (G).
• Insert and tighten the locking screw (G). This secures
the detector to the mounting bracket.
• Insert the electrical conduit.
