Vesda VLC-400 LaserCOMPACT - Apollo Compatible

The LaserCOMPACT detector has been specifically designed to provide all the benefits of aspirating smoke detection, including very early warning, in single environment small areas and where space is a premium. This has been achieved through the combination of approved LaserPLUS detection technology, dual-stage air filtration technology and a modified aspirator design incorporated into a smaller enclosure with a simplified display. LaserCOMPACT is available in two versions, one that interfaces via relays only (RO) or via the relays and VESDAnet (VN).

Air is continually drawn through a simple pipe network to a central detector by a high efficiency aspirator. Air entering the unit passes a flow sensor before a sample is passed through a dual-stage dust filter (the majority of air is exhausted from the detector and where required back vented to the protected area). The first stage 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).

The LaserCOMPACT is made up of two parts: the main enclosure and the front cover. The main enclosure houses all the key components of the detector. All non-serviceable items like the main processor board and detector chamber are mounted away from the general access area, protecting them during the installation and service process.
