The required design / ASPIRE calculations were carried out by our expert team and the system was installed within 3 days. After a 14 day "auto-learn" period the existing smoke detectors were removed from the area, and the VESDA system was interfaced into the existing fire alarm. The optimum settings were used to minimise the potential for false alarms, but to provide an early warning and rapid response to any potential fire condition.

VESDA (Very Early warning Smoke Detection Apparatus) continuously samples the air to provide the earliest possible warning of an impending fire hazard. These systems provide the critical time needed to investigate an alarm and initiate an appropriate response to prevent injury, property damage or business disruption.

The detectors themselves have multi-level warnings and a wide range of sensitivity that does not degrade or change over time, so even minute levels of smoke can be detected before a fire has time to escalate. We have installed a VESDA Laser Plus (VLP) Detector, which is the flagship of the VESDA range. Using unique detection principles, the VLP has an alarm sensitivity range of 0.005%–20% obscuration/m (0.0015%–6.25% obscuration/ft).
