Return air sampling (return grilles)
The VESDA LaserFOCUS is suitable for air sampling across return air grilles of Air Handling
Units. The recommended coverage of the VESDA LaserFOCUS is 0.4 m
2
(4 sq. ft.) per sampling
hole. This should be considered in conjunction with local codes and standard.
Note: Rotate the air sampling hole approximately 45
o
away from the direction of the
incoming airflow and towards the grille surface. This will minimize the risk of a
Low Flow Fault being recorded in situations where air flow changes
(e.g. where the Air Handling Unit is turned off).
