Product overview
The VES VF2014 combines photoelectric smoke, thermistor heat and carbon-monoxide sensing in a compatible addressable fire alarm system. Its programmable operating modes allow the system designer to select the documented detection functions for the application. The sensor, control panel and any sounder base must be assessed together, including the alarm patterns, environmental limits and CO sensing-cell maintenance requirements.

Applications
Compatible installations whose approved detection strategy requires combined smoke, heat and carbon-monoxide monitoring. Select the documented operating mode and listed panel/base combination for the project.
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.
