The ICAM IAS Air-sampling Smoke Detection systems provide a flexible solution to meet the unique needs of numerous applications including industrial spaces such as cable tunnels, the tamper-proof and unobtrusive requirements of special accommodation, or can simply be used to replace spot (point) detectors in office environments. The IAS systems actively draw air from the protected area through sampling holes in a pipe network. Sampled air is then filtered before being analysed by conventional or analogue point detectors incorporated in the systems.

The VESDA-E VES can identify and monitor smoke density by individual sampling pipe (sector) which allows a single zone to be divided into four separate sectors; for example, distinguishing between separate aisles within a data room. Sector addressability enables the user to respond to a potential fire event quickly by reducing the search area. The VESDA-E VES has four programable alarm thresholds (Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2) per pipe that allows flexible field application. After the detector identifies the first sector to reach the Alert threshold it continues to sample from all sectors to report real time status per sector via the intuitive touch screen display. Built on the Flair detection technology and years of application experience the VESDA-E VES detector delivers very early warning with the best in class dust rejection throughout its lifetime.

The VESDA VLI by Xtralis is an industry first early warning aspirating smoke detection (ASD) system, designed to protect industrial applications and harsh environments of up to 2000m2 (20,000 sq. ft.). The VLI detector combines a fail-safe Intelligent Filter (patent pending) with an advanced clean-air barrier for optics protection allowing the use of absolute detection and a long detection chamber life without the need for recalibration.

The VESDA-E VEA Local Relay StaX allows signalling of alarm location from the detector via relays and provides mounting of fire panel loop input modules inside the enclosure. It is directly powered and controlled from the detector. Depending on the configuration a VEA detector can power and control up to two (2) Expansion StaX and up to three (3) Relay StaX. Each Relay StaX provides 40 relay connections corresponding to 40 tubes on a VEA detector or Expansion StaX providing full addressability.

The company that revolutionized very early warning smoke detection with VESDA has reinvented smoke detection for open spaces with Open-area Smoke Imaging Detection (OSID). OSID by Xtralis provides reliable, cost-effective smoke detection for open spaces where fire detection presents unique challenges and where very early warning is not always the priority.

The VEU series of aspirating smoke detectors are the premium detector of the VESDA-E range. An Ultra-wide sensitivity range; 15 times greater than VESDA VLP, and provision for more sampling holes provide an increased coverage in high airflow applications by up to 40%. Considerably longer linear pipe runs and extended branched pipe network configurations cater perfectly to applications with higher ceilings providing an increased coverage by up to 80% whilst allowing convenient detector mounting for ease of service and maintenance. A range of revolutionary new features provide unsurpassed detection performance, flexibility, field programmability, connectivity and reduced total cost of ownership.
