Product overview
The VES Elite RS-A is a one- or two-loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel for compatible Apollo devices. It supports local indication, programmable outputs and optional networking with compatible Elite equipment. Select the loop count, enclosure colour, reporting interface and network arrangement together with the project cause-and-effect schedule. Its published power-supply rating must be allocated across the configured system loads; it is not the available load on each individual circuit.

Applications
Small and medium addressable fire alarm installations, or compatible networked installations requiring coordinated event indication and control. Verify the exact protocol, field devices and optional interfaces before procurement.
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.
