Mounting the VESDA VLP
The VESDA VLP detector can be mounted onto the wall or on any suitable secure surface using the mounting
bracket. It is strongly recommended that the detector is mounted on to the mounting bracket included with the
packaging. Determine the cable entry ports and the air exhaust port before mounting the detector.
Consideration should also be given to the positioning of the pipe inlet ports in relation to the existing pipe
network.
Caution:
Press out the relevant knockouts, taking care not to damage the relays and terminals on the
termination card.
Attention :
Retirez les bouchons défonçables en faisant attention de ne pas endommager les relais et les
bornes sur la carte de terminaison.

Securing the mounting bracket
The orientation required for the VESDA VLP detector will determine how the mounting bracket is placed. To
secure the mounting bracket to the mounting surface place the flat side against the surface ensuring that the
lances do not sit flush to the surface. The figure below illustrates the bracket position for normal and inverted
orientations. Secure the mounting bracket to the surface using appropriate fasteners, ensuring that the
bracket is horizontally straight and sits flush on the surface.

Mounting the VESDA VLP in Normal Orientation
Place the three bridges located at the rear of the detector onto the lances of the mounting bracket. Push
downwards until it locks onto the lances and engages the fitting dimples. To prevent unwanted removal of the
detector, secure the detector to the mounting surface by placing two screws through the keyhole slots
situated near the termination card.
