VESDA VLF-500 | LaserFocus Aspirating Smoke Detector
INC VAT
Code: FDS331/535
The VESDA VLF-500 detector is a very early warning smoke detector designed to protect small, business-critical environments of less than 500 m2 (5,380 sq. ft.)
The detector works by continually drawing air into sampling holes in a pipe network. The air is filtered and passed into a detection chamber where light scattering technology detects the presence of very small amounts of smoke.
Detector status information is communicated on the detector display and via relays or optional interface cards.
