Scope 

The VESDA-E VEA Commissioning Guide outlines the commissioning process for the VESDA-E VEA detector. 
It will guide you through the commission process and the completion of commissioning documentation. The 
guide also provides information on the approval and handover of commissioned VESDA-E VEA detectors. 

The Commissioning Guide helps with the commissioning and management of the VESDA-E VEA detector. 

This  guide  assumes  that  you  have  attended  accredited  VESDA  training  on  commissioning  and  are 
knowledgeable about the VESDA product range. This guide also assumes that you have an understanding of 
the  various  aspects  of  an  aspirating  smoke  detection  system  and  are  fully  aware  of  the  local  codes  and 
standards. 

To commission the VESDA-E VEA detector, you must have the necessary certification issued by Xtralis or an 
authorized distributor. Commissioning before you receive the appropriate training may void the warranty.
