Product overview
The VES SLC isolator range limits the part of a compatible signalling loop affected by a short circuit. It includes an isolating sensor base and a separate isolator with its dedicated mounting base. Once the fault is removed, the documented isolator automatically restores power and data to the affected section. Isolation does not preserve service to every device inside the isolated segment, so layout and device grouping remain part of the approved system design.

Applications
Fault containment on compatible addressable fire alarm loops, with isolation boundaries and the number of devices per section established by the manufacturer wiring instructions.
Selection and project integration
Share the fire alarm drawings, equipment schedule, compatible panel platform and cause-and-effect requirements with UDCT. Selection should confirm device protocols, supported interfaces, circuit supervision, power and standby calculations, and the exact enclosure or module arrangement.
Use the current manufacturer documentation to check compatibility, wiring limits, software requirements and approval scope. Commissioning should verify the configured alarm, fault, indication and control functions as part of the complete system. Remote reporting also requires a compatible receiving service and confirmation of local network availability.
