The XCL-VEA-CH4-RA-5 is a pack of 5 VESDA Sensepoint XCL – Micro Bore aspirated gas detectors for combustible gases (0–100% LEL), each with 4–20 mA output and relays, designed for the VESDA-E VEA addressable aspirating smoke detection system. They add flammable gas detection to a VEA microbore tube network.
Key features
- Inserted in-line into the VESDA-E VEA microbore tube network, adding gas detection to a VEA smoke detection system
- Remote sampling up to 100 m, so the detector can be mounted where it is easy to access for diagnostics and servicing
- Factory calibrated detector with integral alarm status LEDs
- Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) connection to the Sensepoint App for installation, commissioning and maintenance, up to 10 m away
- Two configurable relays plus 4–20 mA analogue output; integrates with PLCs, HVAC, BMS and fire alarm control panels
- Field-replaceable sensor cartridge
- Catalytic (CAT) sensor factory calibrated to methane (CH4); detects gases such as methane, hydrogen, propane, ethanol, butane and octane
