    The VESDA-E can be mounted in two different ways. The first way is utilizing the mounting keyways located on the back of the unit. The other mounting method is using the:

    • Supplied wood screws

    • Optional mounting bracket

    • Cable ties

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Optional mounting bracket
    Explanation
    The VESDA-E can be mounted in two different ways. The first way is utilizing the mounting keyways located on the back of the unit. The other mounting method is using the optional mounting bracket. This means that the VESDA-E can be securely mounted using either the keyways or the optional mounting bracket, providing flexibility in installation options. The supplied wood screws and cable ties are not mentioned as mounting options, so they are not the correct answer.

    The VESDA-E has a new detection chamber called the flair chamber. The Flair chamber was built on Xtralis’ core competencies of Image processing, optics, interpretation of light and:

    • Video Transmission

    • Air Sampling

    • Electronics manufacturing

    • Particle Counting

    Correct Answer
    A. Air Sampling
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Air Sampling. The VESDA-E has a new detection chamber called the flair chamber, which utilizes air sampling as a method of detecting particles in the air. This chamber is built on Xtralis' core competencies of image processing, optics, and interpretation of light, but the crucial aspect of the chamber is its ability to sample the air and analyze it for any potential threats or hazards.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The VESDA-E has the greatest sensitivity range of any Xtralis air sampling smoke detector to date. The VESDA-E sensitivity range is:

    • 0.0015-6.25%obs/ft (0.005-20%obs/m)

    • 0.0003-6.25%obs/ft (0.001-20%obs/m)

    • 0.008-6.25%obs/ft (0.025-20%obs/m)

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.0003-6.25%obs/ft (0.001-20%obs/m)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 0.0003-6.25%obs/ft (0.001-20%obs/m). This is because the VESDA-E has the greatest sensitivity range among all Xtralis air sampling smoke detectors. The sensitivity range refers to the ability of the detector to detect smoke particles in the air. The wider the range, the more sensitive the detector is to detecting even small amounts of smoke. Therefore, the VESDA-E has the ability to detect smoke particles ranging from 0.0003%obs/ft to 6.25%obs/ft, or from 0.001%obs/m to 20%obs/m.

    The inlet manifold on the VESDA-E utilizes Ultrasonic Flow Sensors per inlet Pipe for precise sampled airflow monitoring. The Ultrasonic Flow sensors then allow the VESDA-E to provide how many programmable flow faults?

    • Two - High air flow and Low air flow

    • Four - Major High, Major Low, Minor High, Minor Low

    • One – General Flow Fault

    • Sixteen – Major High, Major Low, Minor High, Minor Low per individual inlet pipe

    Correct Answer
    A. Sixteen – Major High, Major Low, Minor High, Minor Low per individual inlet pipe
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Sixteen – Major High, Major Low, Minor High, Minor Low per individual inlet pipe. The explanation is that the VESDA-E system utilizes Ultrasonic Flow Sensors per inlet pipe, which allows for precise sampled airflow monitoring. These sensors are able to detect and provide information on various flow faults, including Major High, Major Low, Minor High, and Minor Low. Since there are multiple inlet pipes, the system can provide these programmable flow faults for each individual inlet pipe, resulting in a total of sixteen possible flow faults.

    Together with the Flair smoke chamber and newly designed aspirator, the VESDA-E will allow for longer pipe runs compared to previous VESDA detectors. What is the maximum allowable aggregate pipe length for a single VESDA-E detector using a branched sample pipe network?

    • 1312 feet (400 meters)

    • 1500 feet (450 meters)

    • 2624 feet (800 meters)

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 2624 feet (800 meters)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2624 feet (800 meters). The explanation for this is that the VESDA-E detector, along with the Flair smoke chamber and newly designed aspirator, allows for longer pipe runs compared to previous VESDA detectors. This means that the detector can cover a larger area with its sampling pipe network. Therefore, the maximum allowable aggregate pipe length for a single VESDA-E detector using a branched sample pipe network is 2624 feet (800 meters).

  • 23. 

    When mounting a VESDA-E detector to the wall a minimum of 2 inches (50mm) of space is required between the ceiling and the detector. If a Stax module is to be added to the top of the detector the minimum space between the detector and the ceiling shall be:

    • 3 feet (1 Meter)

    • 2 feet (60 cm)

    • 1 foot (30 cm)

    • .5 foot (15 cm)

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 foot (30 cm)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1 foot (30 cm) because when a Stax module is added to the top of the detector, it requires additional space between the detector and the ceiling. Since the minimum space required between the ceiling and the detector without the Stax module is 2 inches (50mm), adding the Stax module would increase the required space. Therefore, the minimum space between the detector and the ceiling with the Stax module would be 1 foot (30 cm).
