1 Introduction
The VESDA VLS is an aspirating smoke detector providing very early warning of fire conditions by drawing air
samples through an air sampling pipe network. The detector chamber can detect presence of smoke at very
low concentrations. The embedded and PC software complimenting the VESDA VLS provides a wide range
of user defined parameters and reporting capabilities. The detector easily interfaces with fire warning and fire
suppression release systems, and can be easily integrated into a building management system.
The VESDA VLS can monitor and individually report on four sectors in the protected area.
