The maximum area a single VESDA-E detector can protect is 20,000 sq. feet (2000 sq. meters). This means that the detector is capable of covering an area of up to 20,000 sq. feet, providing effective smoke detection and early warning in case of fire. It is important to note that exceeding this maximum area may result in reduced detection capabilities and compromised safety.

The single-stage filter has a chip fitted that registers the type of filter inserted, the total smoke hours, and the total dust count. This means that the chip is capable of recording all of the mentioned information, making the answer "All of the above" correct.

The iVESDA application is capable of monitoring all devices on VESDAnet. This means that it can monitor not only VESDA-E devices but also legacy detectors on the VESDAnet. Therefore, the correct answer is to monitor all devices on VESDAnet.

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.

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 VESDA-E detector indeed has two GPIs (General Purpose Inputs) that serve various purposes such as remote reset, power supply monitoring, standby mode, and remote disable. One of the GPIs is monitored, meaning that its status is actively monitored by the system, while the other GPI is unmonitored, implying that its status is not actively monitored.

The 3.5-inch VESDA-E touch screen display has 3 distinct screens: the Main Screen, the Airflow screen, and the Status Screen. The Status Screen provides information about the current status of the VESDA-E system, including any faults or issues that may be present. This screen allows users to easily monitor the system and quickly identify any problems that need to be addressed.

The VESDA-E aspirator is a new design that offers programmable speed settings. The question asks how many programmable speed settings the VESDA-E aspirator has. The correct answer is 10, indicating that the VESDA-E aspirator can be adjusted to operate at 10 different speed settings.

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.

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).

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).

The VESDA-E USB communication port can be used to download detector event logs, upload detector configuration parameters, and upload detector firmware upgrades. This can be done using a memory stick, which can be connected to the USB port. Therefore, the correct answer is "Memory Stick".

The VESDA-E Fire 1 Alarm Threshold is 15 times more sensitive than the VLP Fire 1 Alarm Threshold. This means that the VESDA-E system can detect smoke or fire at a much lower concentration or pressure level compared to the VLP system. This increased sensitivity allows for earlier detection of potential fire hazards, providing more time for evacuation or intervention measures to be taken.

The single-stage replaceable air sampling filter on the VESDA-E is designed to filter out larger particles above 20 Micron in size.
