VESDA-E VEU Installation Instructions
Prepare Detector:
Wiring, Pipe Inlet and Exhaust Ports
Remove the appropriate plugs for electrical cable installation (B), air sampling pipe inlet
ports (A), and exhaust port (C).
• Where the system design requries less than four air sampling pipe inlet ports, use
ports 2 and 3 before using ports 1 and 4.
• Do not remove the plugs from inlet ports that will not be used.
• Ensure that pipes are clean and their ends are square and smooth.

• Insert the inlet and exhaust pipes (if used) into the correct inlet ports (A) and
exhaust port.
• Exhaust pipe should be as short as possible.
• Feed the electrical wiring connections through the cable entry ports.
•
Use the correct cable gland size to fit into the 26 mm (1”) cable entry port. Use
correctly rated cable glands to maintain the required IP rating.
Note:
Do not glue the inlet and exhaust pipe into the detector ports. The product
warranty will be void if the pipes are glued.
Wiring:

Warning:
Always switch detector power OFF before plugging/unplugging electrical, relay
or network connections. Failure to do so may cause data corruption and/or
component failure.
Avertissement :

Power and Relay Wiring
Power:
There are two sets of power terminals on the main board. Connect a 24 VDC
power supply to the PWR IN socket (B). If required, connect to another detector via the
PWR OUT socket (A).
Relays:
The relays interface to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to communicate
faults, alarms and disabled states. Relay contacts are rated 2 A @ 30 VDC, resistive.
Connect as required by the system design. Use electrical wire sizes from 0.2 mm² to
2.5 mm² (24 -14 AWG). Refer to the Addressable Loop Module example.
Warning:
Ensure that all wiring complies with manufacturer’s instructions and local and
national fire detection code requirements. Refer to Codes and Standards
Information for Air Sampling Smoke Detection section of the detector product
guide for further information on wiring compliance.
Avertissement :
Verifier que toute les cables ont passé au nombres d’instructions du fabricant et locaux et au
feu national de securited’incendie sois exiger. Adresser aux codes informations sur les normes
et reglementations de detection de fume par prelevement d’air par le notice descriptive du
produit pour plus de renseignements au conformite du cablage.
Caution:
DO NOT LOOP WIRE UNDER TERMINALS WHEN WIRING DETECTORS.
BREAK WIRE RUNS TO PROVIDE SYSTEM SUPERVISION OF CONNECTIVITY.
Attention :
NE PAS RALIER LES CABLES TERMINAUX PENDANT LES CABLAGES DES FILS. POUR
TOUTES LES CONNECTIONS A RELAIS, INTERROMPRE LES FILS POUR PERMETTRE LA
SUPERVISION DU CABLAGE.
Note:
For information on wiring for other types of devices that may be required by
the system design, refer to the detector Product Guide and documentation
accompanying the device.
Unmonitored GPI
The Unmonitored GPI is a programmable input which can be configured to initiate a
number of different actions, including, by default, a Remote Reset function.
Monitored GPI
The monitored GPI senses contact closure and is configurable to initiate the same actions
as the unmonitored GPI. “Mains OK” is the default setting. A closed contact signals GPI
ON and open contact signals GPI OFF.
A 10K end of line resistor is used to allow the detector to monitor for open circuit faults in
the wiring from the detector to the contact.

(VESDA-E VEU)
The diagram shows an example of the
wiring for a closed VESDAnet loop, which
is the recommended configuration. Remove
the factory default A and B links from the
VESDAnet sockets (C and D) prior to
connecting the detector to the VESDAnet.
It is recommended that 120 Ohm twisted
pair cables (e.g. Belden 9841) be used for
including the devices in the network, with
a maximum length between devices of
1.2 km The polarity of the data wires must
be maintained throughout the network.

The diagram below shows the factory default wiring for VESDAnet
sockets (C and D) as required for a detector that is not connected to a
VESDAnet.
• Leave as is, or replace if it has been removed.
Communications
• USB:
The USB port (L) is used for initial configuration and local maintenance or
servicing of the detector using a PC or laptop installed with Xtralis VSC software. Install
Xtralis VSC prior to connecting the detector to the computer. This ensures that the
required USB drivers are present.
• Ethernet:
The Ethernet port (M) is used for permanent network connection to the
detector, and provides a gateway to any other devices on the VESDAnet network. An
Ethernet lead can be routed through the cable entry ports and plugged into the Ethernet
port. Use a standard Ethernet lead when connecting the detector to a network switch,
router or directly to a PC or laptop. Ethernet connection must be configured using a
USB connection prior to use. Set the detector access password using Xtralis VSC.
• WiFi:
The WiFi module allows connection of laptops installed with Xtralis VSC to the
detector, and provides a gateway to any other devices on the VESDAnet network. WiFi
must be enabled and configured using a USB connection prior to use. Set the detector
access password using Xtralis VSC.
Sampling Pipe Network
Complete the pipe network installation in accordance with the system design. Refer to
the detector Product Guide and the VESDA Pipe Network Installation Guide for general
information regarding pipe network installation.
• Ensure that the exhaust is open, the pipes are clear and all sampling holes have
been drilled.
Power Up
Connect 24 VDC power to the Power In terminals (2). Close front door.
Configuration
For initial configuration, use a USB connection and the Xtralis VSC software.
• For networked detectors, set the IP address and subnet mask according to standard
building instructions.
•
Set the Pipes in Use value in the Airflow configuration options.
•
Set the aspirator RPM to the value specified in the system design.
•
Let the detector run for approximately 2 minutes and confirm that the pipe raw flow
rates (L/min) match the ASPIRE predictions using Xtralis VSC.
•
Normalize the airflow. This takes approximately 10 minutes, after which the pipe flow
rates (%) should be close to 100%.
• Reset the detector. It should now be running without faults.
Commissioning
• Carry out a smoke test. Refer to the product guide for further information.
Document: 22072_A5
Note:
To remove the pipe inlet and cable
entry port plugs, place a large
screwdriver in the large slot and twist,
or use a small screwdriver in the side
slots to lever the plug out.
