Xtralis VESDA VLC 500 Aspirating Smoke Detector

Xtralis VESDA VLC-500 Product Description

The Xtralis VESDA VLC-500 Laser COMPACT aspirating smoke detector is the next generation of very early warning fire detection technology. It was made for small to medium-sized spaces where space is limited. This sophisticated aspirating smoke detection (ASD) system combines proven VESDA LaserPLUS detecting technology with a small, simple design that works really well in a small space.

The VESDA VLC-500 is different from regular point-type smoke detectors since it actively pulls air samples through a network of pipes and analyzes them all the time for the first signs of burning. This proactive technique gives building managers and facility operators important early warning – sometimes hours before visible smoke appears—so they may look into and deal with possible fire dangers before they become dangerous.

The VLC-500 model can only communicate through relays, which makes it a great stand-alone option for single-room settings, server rooms, telecommunications facilities, data centers, and other business-critical areas up to 800 square meters (8,600 square feet). The VESDA VLC-500 has an IP30-rated enclosure, easy-to-read LED status lights, and a strong dual-stage filtration system. It provides reliable fire protection that is easy to maintain and can adapt to changing climatic circumstances.
