VESDA-E VEU

VEU-A00, VEU-A10
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
at least 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.

Flair Detection Technology

Flair is the revolutionary detection chamber that forms the core of the VESDA-E VEU, providing higher stability and
increased longevity. Direct imaging of the sampled particles using a CMOS imager combined with multiple photo-
diodes allows better detection and fewer nuisance alarms.

Installation, Commissioning and Operation

VESDA-E VEU features a robust IP40-rated enclosure and is equipped with a powerful aspirator that provides a
total pipe length of 800 m (2,625 ft). Out of box operation is made possible with AutoConfig which allows airflow
normalisation and AutoLearn Smoke and Flow to be initiated from within the detector. VEU is fully supported by the
ASPIRE and Xtralis VSC software applications which facilitate ease of pipe network design, system commissioning
and maintenance.

VESDAnet™
VESDA devices communicate on VESDAnet which provides a robust bi-directional communication network allowing
continued redundant operation even during single point wiring failures. VESDAnet enables primary reporting,
centralized configuration, control, maintenance and monitoring.

Ethernet Connectivity
VESDA-E detectors offer connectivity to corporate networks via Ethernet, allowing for devices installed with Xtralis
monitoring and configuration software to connect to the detector.

Backward Compatibility
VESDA-E VEU is fully compatible with existing VESDA installations. The detector occupies the same mounting
footprint, pipe, conduit and electrical connector positioning as VESDA VLP. VEU is also compatible with existing
VESDAnet installations allowing monitoring of both VESDA-E and legacy detectors via the latest iVESDA application.
