Mounting
The VESDA VLF can be installed upright, inverted or horizontally.
Note:
Ensure the smoke detector is mounted away from obstructions and below ceiling level.
Caution:
An exhaust deflector must be fitted for upright mounting, unless the exhaust port is connected
to a return air pipe.
Attention :
Le déflecteur d'échappement est prévu pour un montage à la verticale, à moins que l'orifice
d'échappement ne soit raccordé à un tuyau de reprise d'air.
Caution:
Do not install this unit on its side. There is a risk of particulate and condensation collecting on
critical elements of the detector chamber reducing the detectors performance.
Attention :
N'installez pas le détecteur sur le côté. Les particules et la condensation risqueraient de
s'accumuler sur des éléments critiques de la chambre de detection, ce qui réduirait les
performances du détecteur.
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to mount the detector, noting the location of air sampling pipes and
cable entry points. Owing to the rigid nature of the plastic pipe, installation must provide for sufficient
movement in all pipework (air inlet, air exhaust and cable pipes) to allow pipe ends to be easily fitted and
removed.
