4.4 VESDA VLF Configuration
The VESDA VLF was designed with ease of configuration in mind. No specialized hardware or software tools
are required to configure this detector as it will autolearn about its environment once it is installed.
4.5 Documenting Configuration and Thresholds
The relevant sections of the commissioning form should be completed when the thresholds are set and the
system is being configured. If you are configuring the system using the Xtralis VSC software you can print out
most of the information required in the commissioning forms.
Attach a copy of the ASPIRE2 Installation Data Pack (IDP). Enter the details of any ancillary devices that
have been assigned a VESDA Zone.
