by accessing sensor diagnostics

Compatible with Simplex®4100ES, 4010ES,

4100U, or legacy 4100/4120 fire alarm control

panels:

Communications via 4100ES/4010ES/4100U IDNet

or 4100ES/4100U MAPNET II addressable formats

Connection is to the same SLC (signaling line circuit)

with other devices such as addressable manual

stations, TrueAlarm area smoke sensors, addressable

control modules, etc.

Communications are as a single device and connection is

direct to the SLC without requiring a dedicated interface

4100/4120 requires revision 8.01 or higher software

Three threshold levels are programmable from the

fire alarm control panel with typical selections as:

Stage 1 – Alert at 0.016 to 0.6218% obscuration/ft

Stage 2 – Pre-Alarm at 0.03 to 0.6234% obscuration/ft

Stage 3 – Alarm at 0.05 to 4.08% obscuration/ft

NOTE: UL listed evacuation alarm sensitivity is not

to be less sensitive than 0.625%/ft

Sampling pipe network:

Uses standard Vision Systems pipe and inlet in

accordance with Vision Systems Aspire design tool

UL listed to Standard 268 (URXG)

Description

Air aspiration technology smoke detection operates

by actively drawing in air for sampling in a high intensity,

stable detection chamber. The Model VLC-600

TrueAlarm LaserCOMPACT smoke detector uses the

latest in VESDA sampling technology including a highly

efficient laser light source and a dual stage dust filter.

TrueAlarm analog sensing occurs when the

TrueAlarm LaserCOMPACT sensor communicates

smoke chamber information to the connected fire alarm

control panel. The panel evaluates the smoke sensor

information against three programmed thresholds and

declares an alarm or pre-alarm condition depending on

smoke chamber activity.

Status communications. In addition to smoke

chamber information, the TrueAlarm LaserCOMPACT

also advises the fire alarm control panel of local trouble

conditions. Troubles may include dirty filter, airflow

restriction or failure, etc. Specific details are stored in

memory at the sensor location.

Operation

Filtered air flow. A high efficiency aspirator

continually draws air through a simple pipe network to a

central detector. Air entering the sensor housing passes a

flow sensor before the sample is passed through a

dual-stage dust filter. The majority of air is exhausted

from the detector and where required, back vented to the

protected area. The first stage of the air filter removes

dust and dirt from the air sample before it enters the

smoke detection chamber. A second, ultra-fine filter stage

provides a clean air supply to be used inside the detection

chamber to form clean air barriers which protect the

optical surfaces from contamination.

Laser detection chamber. The detection chamber uses

a stable, highly efficient laser light source and unique

sensor configuration to achieve optimum response to a wide

range of smoke types. When smoke passes through the

detection chamber, it creates light scattering which is

detected by very sensitive sensor circuitry. The analog level

of the sensor is then communicated to the fire alarm control

panel for comparison to pre-selected alarm thresholds.

Operation (Continued)

Status logging. The sensor status history for all alarms,

service, and fault events, is monitored and logged with

time and date stamps within the electronics of the sensor,

accessible via the local computer port. General trouble

status indications are communicated to the panel as either

sensor troubles or “no answer” troubles.
