• Referencing
The LaserPLUS detector is the central element of the VESDA smoke detection
product range. Using unique detection principles, the LaserPLUS has an alarm • Event log
sensitivity range of 0.005%–20% obscuration/m (0.0015%–6.25% obscuration/ft).
• Modular design
The LaserPLUS is classed as a “Very Early Warning Smoke Detector” which means
that it detects fire at the earliest possible stage and reliably measures very low to • Recessed mounting option
extremely high concentrations of smoke.

How It Works
• UL
Air is drawn into the LaserPLUS through a network of air sampling pipes by a high
efficiency aspirator. Each inlet pipe has an airflow sensor that monitors airflow • ULC
changes in the pipes. Air is exhausted from the LaserPLUS and may be vented back • FM
into the protected zone.
• LPC
Inside the LaserPLUS, a sample of air is passed into the laser detection chamber
via a dual-stage air filter. The first filtration stage removes dust and dirt from the air • VdS
sample before entering the laser detection chamber for analysis. The second stage • CCCf
provides ultra fine air filtration to provide very clean air that is used to protect the
optical surfaces inside the detector from contamination. • ActivFire

The detection chamber uses a stable Class 1 laser light source and carefully • AFNOR
positioned sensors to achieve the optimum response to a vast range of smoke types. • CE - EN 54-20
- Class A (30 holes / 0.05% obs/m)
The status of the detector, and all alarm, service and fault events, are transmitted to
displays and external systems via VESDAnet. - Class B (60 holes / 0.06% obs/m)
- Class C (100 holes / 0.08% obs/m)

VESDA detectors and devices communicate across VESDAnet, Xtralis’ fault-tolerant determined using ASPIRE2.
communications protocol. The VESDAnet loop provides a robust bi-directional
communication network between devices, even allowing continued operation during
single point wiring failures. It also allows for system programming from a single
location and forms the basis of the modular nature of the VESDA system.
AutoLearn™
The LaserPLUS technology employs unique software tools to ensure optimum
operation in many differing environments. AutoLearn monitors the ambient
environment and sets the most appropriate alarm thresholds (Alert, Action, Fire1,
Fire2) during the commissioning process to allow the earliest possible warning of
a potential fire situation with no nuisance alarms.
Referencing
Environments that employ air handling systems may be affected by pollution external
to the controlled environment when “fresh air make up” is added. Referencing by
VESDA ensures that external pollution does not interfere with the true smoke level
being detected in the protected environment. The system can safely compensate for
this transient state and allow continued operation free from nuisance alarms.
