Introduction

The VESDA-E VEP-A10-P is an aspirating smoke detector (ASD) that provides very early warning of fire
conditions by drawing air samples through an air sampling pipe network.

Figure 1-1: VESDA-E VEP-A10-P Aspirating Smoke Detector

The detector easily interfaces with fire warning and fire suppression release systems, and can be integrated
into a building management system (BMS).
