VESDA-E VES smoke detection technology to minimise downtime

Honeywell has launched VESDA®-E VES aspirating smoke detectors. It allows its users to split secluded areas into four distinct sectors, so as to ensure early detection and caution of a potential hazard. The detectors also help reduce total cost of ownership by decreasing installation, commissioning and operating expenses.

The VESDA-E VES sector addressability provides individually configurable alarm levels for each of the four sectors, reducing the search path for early warning events to deliver optimum protection in highly secure environments or areas with clear zones. The new intuitive LCD display provides instant status reporting and allows real time event tracking.

“Downtime in data centers can cost businesses significant revenue losses,” said Raj Kappali, general manager, global advanced fire detection, Honeywell Building Technologies. “Built on the latest advanced detection technology and years of application experience, VESDA-E VES leverages the latest detection technology to provide early detection of a potential threat and allow immediate and targeted response. This is exactly what a smart building fire detection system looks like.”

VESDA-E VES offers reliable, very early warning and higher detection stability over a wider range of environments through its Flair Detection Technology. The patented Flair Detection Technology employs the latest laser-based light scattering combined with CMOS image analysis to provide best-in-class very early warning and nuisance alarm rejection. It also helps to quickly detect and locate the specific source of smoke.

It further offers Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity with Xtralis software for configuration, secondary monitoring and maintenance. Additionally, the longer pipe runs of VESDA-E VES allow convenient detector mounting for accessible and reduced maintenance costs.
