removes dust and dirt from the air sample
before it enters the chamber for smoke
detection. The second ultra fine stage
provides a clean air supply to be used
inside the detection chamber to form
clean air barriers, which protect the optical
surfaces from contamination.
The detection chamber uses a stable,
highly efficient laser light source and
unique sensor configuration to achieve
the optimum response to a wide range of
smoke types. When smoke passes
through the detection chamber it creates
light scatter which is detected by the very
sensitive sensor circuitry.
The status of the detector, all alarms,
service and fault events, are monitored
and logged with time and date stamps.
Status reporting can be transmitted via
simple relay connections or across the
advanced VESDAnet communications
network (VN version only).
