Product overview
The VES eMATRIX is a configurable floor-plan mimic annunciator for compatible Elite fire alarm systems. Flexible optical light guides connect the selected indicator positions to an internal LED grid, allowing the display layout to be adapted without individual wiring to every indicator. The floor plan, enclosure, LED count and optional controls are specified together for the installation.

Applications
Geographical fire alarm indication at reception, control and monitoring locations where a floor-plan display helps identify the activated area.
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.
