Mounting

Depending on the type of surface, the VESDA VLQ detector can be installed in different ways to suit
environmental, aesthetic and local code requirements. There are several mounting techniques described in
this section to suit different mounting surfaces
The detector base is used in all mounting techniques in conjunction with either the surface mount bracket or
flush mount bracket to secure the detector to the mounting surface.
Detector Base
When the detector is attached to the detector base, the sampling pipes on the detector must be aligned with
the sampling pipe markers on the base. Push the detector into the base on 45 degree counter-clockwise
rotation, then rotate 45 degrees clockwise to lock into place.
