VESDA-E VEA 

Product Guide

PN LS10215-000NF-E:A   07/24/2018   18-0315

Overview

The VESDA-E VEA-040-Axx-NTF is based on VESDA-E VEA-040-Axx detector with built-in SLC interface to interface to intelligent fire pan-
els over SLC loop.

This product guide provides deviations from the base detector model (VESDA-E VEA-040-Axx) to be able to connect to the FACP. Hence this 
product guide must be read in-conjunction with the respective product guide in References section of this document.

This guide introduces SLC specific wiring and specifications. It is assumed that anyone using this product has the knowledge and appropriate cer-
tification from local fire and electrical authorities.

NOTE:

Reference to the VEA-040-Axx-NTF or VEA-040-Axx apply to all available models of the VESDA-E VEA. Refer to the Ordering Information 

section below for available models.

FCC Compliance Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These lim-
its are designated to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and 
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful 
interference to radio or television reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: re-
orientate or relocate the receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, connect the equipment to a power outlet 
which is on a different power circuit to the receiver or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
