11.1 Replacing the chassis/Air Inlet Pipe Manifold
1. Isolate the VESDA VLS by pressing the Isolate button or by selecting Isolate Zone from the Zone
menu in Xtralis VSC. This isolates the outputs from the unit to a fire alarm panel and other third party
devices such as building management systems.
2. If you are using Xtralis VSC, highlight the detector in the Device Tree Window and select the Device
menu, then Save Node Configuration. This will save the configuration details of the VESDA VLS.

(B), then unscrew the front cover.
