The Xtralis VESDA-E VEA-040-A00 is the VEA-40 addressable aspirating smoke detector with LED indication. It draws air through up to 40 individually addressed microbore tubes, each with its own sampling point, so a fire can be pinpointed to a sampling location for faster response.
Suited to healthcare, offices, education, retail, prisons and electrical cabinets, the VEA offers centralised testing and maintenance with minimum disruption. It communicates on VESDAnet, has Ethernet for configuration and secondary monitoring, and is supported by Xtralis VSC and VSM4 software.
