Product overview
The VES Elite status-indicator range provides remote visual information for compatible Elite XT releasing equipment. High-brightness indications identify the supported operating states, while a countdown display shows the configured time remaining before release. Surface and flush models are available with or without a mode-select keyswitch. Choose the exact enclosure and control option for the required location and system arrangement.

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.
