What is VESDA testing?
VESDA ® is a laser based smoke detector, which means it is a very good smoke detector! VESDA ® smoke detectors have been operating in specialist fire detection applications for over 20 years. VESDA ® is the most advanced aspirating smoke detection equipment in the fire industry.
How does VESDA detect smoke?
VESDA® works by continually drawing air into the pipe network via a high efficiency aspirator. A sample of this air is then passed through a dual stage filter. The first stage removes dust and dirt from the air sample before it allows the sample to enter the laser detection chamber for smoke detection.
How often should a VESDA system be serviced?
It is recommended that VESDA filters are replaced at least every two years. VESDA filters are single use only and cannot be cleaned or refurbished.
Is VESDA a fire suppression system?
VESDA (very early smoke detecting apparatus) is the world’s leading aspirating smoke detection brand. Combined with a Novec 1230 or FM200 fire suppression system, VESDA detection provides a robust, reliable fire safety system for your business.
What does VESDA stand for?
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus. VESDA. Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm (fire safety)
What are VESDA units?
VESDA ® (an abbreviation of Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) is a laser based smoke detection system. The name VESDA ® has become a generic name for most air sampling applications.

How does a Vesda system work?
VESDA works by continuously drawing air into a distributed pipe network via a high-efficiency aspirator. The air sample then passes through a dual-stage filter. The first stage removes dust and dirt from the air sample before it enters the laser detection chamber.
Who makes VESDA?
Xtralis
Xtralis is a global leader and pioneer in life safety. We invented VESDA very early warning aspirating smoke detection (ASD), the world’s leading ASD brand.
What is VESDA pipe?
VESDA Pipe and Fittings are part of an integrated system manufactured from specialty plastics designed for use with most aspirating smoke detection systems. The Concept. The quality of VESDA pipe has been specifically chosen to surpass the requirements for most systems and aims to provide:
How does VESDA system work?
The VESDA system is a “very early warning aspirating smoke detection” and is designed to alarm you to the danger as soon as possible. The VESDA air sampling fire detection system detects invisible by-products of materials as they degrade during the precombustion stages of a developing fire.
