LaserCOMPACT Product Guide

1.1 Scope

The LaserCOMPACT Product Guide is written to provide you with comprehensive knowledge of the detector.

This guide introduces you to the LaserCOMPACT its features, technical specifications and gives an understanding of its components and their function. You will also find instructions on installing, cabling and powering up the detector.

This guide is for anyone involved with the design, maintenance and purchasing of a VESDA system. It is assumed that anyone using this guide has knowledge and the appropriate certification from the local fire and electrical authorities.

1.2 Introduction to LaserCOMPACT

The LaserCOMPACT is an aspirating smoke detector providing very early warning of fire conditions by drawing air samples through an air sampling pipe network. The detector chamber can detect presence of smoke at very low concentrations. The embedded and PC software complimenting the LaserCOMPACT provides a wide range of user defined parameters and reporting capabilities. The detector easily interfaces with fire warning and fire suppression release systems, and can be easily integrated into a building management system.

LaserCOMPACT configurations

The LaserCOMPACT is available as:

• Relays Only (RO) model (VLC-500) - for stand alone LaserCOMPACT

• VESDAnet (VN) model (VLC-505) - for networked LaserCOMPACT

1.3 Operation of the LaserCOMPACT

An air sampling pipe network collects air samples from a protected area. The VESDA integrated aspirator draws air into the sampling pipes through a pipe inlet manifold. For further information on air sampling pipe networks please see the Pipe Network Design and Installation Manuals.

Some of this air flows to the dual stage filter. The first stage air filter removes dust and dirt from the sampled air and flows to the laser detector chamber to detect the presence of smoke.

Page 11

VESDA

LaserCOMPACT Product Guide

Any smoke detected in the laser detection chamber is signaled to the main processor card. If the presence of detected smoke is higher than the set thresholds it is reported as a Pre-Alarm or an Alarm depending upon the alarm thresholds. The second stage filter further filters the air to produce ultra clean air. The ultra clean air is used to clean the optical surfaces in the laser detection chamber.

Figure 2 - Operation and internal air flow of LaserCOMPACT Detector

LaserCOMPACT display

The LaserCOMPACT has five LEDs to indicate Alarms, Faults, OK (normal working of the detector) and Reset/Isolate status. The LaserCOMPACT VN offers the option for a remotely mounted Display Module, see VRT-J00 Display Module mounted into a remote unit on page 5 for details.

Page 12

LaserCOMPACT Product Guide VESDA

LED and Reset/Isolate button

The LED indicators and the Reset/Isolate button on the front cover of the LaserCOMPACT detector display alarms and faults.

Table 1 - LED Indicators and the Reset/Isolate button

Fire This (RED) LED is lit when the Fire alarm threshold is reached.

Pre-Alarm

The (RED) Pre-Alarm LED is lit when the Pre-Alarm threshold is reached. This LED flashes when the Alert alarm threshold is reached and Alert

Overlay in set to ON.

Fault

This (YELLOW) LED is lit when a fault is detected. It is also lit during airflow normalization.

The OK LED (Green) stays lit during normal operation indicating the unit is functionally normally.

This LED flashes twice repeatedly during air flow normalization operation and three times repeatedly when AutoLearn is activated.

Reset/Isolate

The Reset/Isolate LED (Yellow) is lit when LaserCOMPACT is isolated. While it remains isolated the Pre-Alarm and Fire relays will not work.

(The Fault relay will continue to work).

Reset / Isolate Push Button Switch

• To Reset the unit, press this button once.

• To Isolate the unit, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.

• To De-isolate the unit, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.

• While the detector is Isolated, any faults may be cleared by pressing this button once.

The button will not operate:

• if a remote Reset switch has been fitted to the Reset (GPI) ter minals and is set to the Isolate position

• if the Reset/Isolate button has been locked out in the programming.

OK LED

The OK LED stays lit during normal operation indicating the unit is functioning normally. When this LED is off a warning beep will sound indicating a Fault condition is active.

Isolate LED

This LED is lit when the detector is Isolated a nd relay are de-activated disabling alarm outputs of the detector. A warning sounder will beep every 60 seconds if the display has been programmed to do so.

Alarm Levels

ALERT: When illuminated this LED indicates that the smoke level is above the alert threshold. This indicates the detector has identified very early stages of a fire condition and/or that the smoke level in the area is above normal.

PRE-ALARM: When lit this indicates that the detected smoke level has passed the threshold value fixed for Pre-Alarm, but is not intended to initiate a general fire alarm response procedure

FIRE: When lit this indicates that there is enough smoke to initiate a general fire alarm response procedure. This indicates a fire may be imminent or is in progress. When interfaced with a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) it can generate an automatic fire alarm

Bar graph

The Bar graph is a 20 step indicator where each indicator represents an increase in the detected level of smoke, relative to the preset fire alarm level.

Threshold Indicators

The illuminated LEDs represent visual settings for ALERT, PRE-ALARM, and FIRE alarm levels.

Fault LEDs

Urgent - Indicates a serious fault requiring immediate attention System - Indicates a fault in the network Zone -Indicates a fault in the VESDA Zone monitored by the Display Module Power - Indicates a fault in the power supply (If the GPI Function is us ed) Network - Indicates a communications fault on VESDAnet Airflow - Indicates abnormal air flow through the inlet pipe Filter - This LED illuminates when the air filter requires changing

Illuminated lights showing faults.

Push Button Keys

These buttons enable various systems functions but can not be used to configure the system. The Buttons can be disabled by the Systems Administrator.

Mode/Test (Dual Function): Selects toggles between the sensitivity, smoke level and zone number modes. When depressed for more than two seconds it performs a light test function.

Silence: This button silences any alarm or fault warnings. It also stops the LEDs from flashing to acknowledge a fault or alarm condition.

Reset: Resets any latched alarms and faults on the detector. Any active alarms or faults are reported again after the time delays have elapsed.

Isolate: Isolates the detector from any external devices or systems (an isolate alarm will normally be raised at the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)).

Note: It is normal practise to signal the Isolate condition to the Fire Control Panel using the Isolate relay

Numerical Display

Sensitivity: Shows the level of smoke that must be measured to illuminate the entire bar graph and always corresponds with the fire alarm level.

Smoke Level: Indicates the current level of smoke in the relevant VESDA address and is represented as % obs/m or % obs/ft.

Zone Number: This is the VESDA Zone number assigned to the Display Module.

Note: The Mode Button is used to select the parameters represented by the Numeric Display (sensitivity, smoke level, zone number). The values displayed in the numerical display represent the current readings for that mode.

Table 4 - Default relay settings and conditions to change state

Auxiliary / GPI Terminals

The Bias, Reset (GPI) and LED terminals are located on the termination card (Refer to Figure 14, “LaserCOMPACT termination card VN Model (VLC-505),” on page 19 and Figure 15, “LaserCOMPACT termination card RO Model (VLC-500),” on page 20. These terminals have the following functions:

Bias Terminals: These output terminals provide 10 VDC supply to initiate the reset inpu t terminals via a remote reset/isolate switch.

LED T erminals: These output terminals provide a 5 V, 15 mA DC supply via a 220 ohm resistor to power a remote LED.

Reset (GPI) Terminals: These terminals are also known as the General Purpose Input (GPI) and are used for Reset, Mains OK or Standby functions. The input terminal requires a voltage supply between 5 V and 24 VDC to operate. The volt age input to th is terminal is isol ated from the system by an opto-coupler device. Connect the Reset (+) terminal to the positive output and the Reset (-) terminal to the ground output of the external device (for an example of use refer to Figure 21, “Wire connection details for power terminals on VN and RO model termination card ,” on page 24).

VESDAnet Terminals (VN Model only):

The LaserCOMPACT detector can be connected to VESDAnet through VESDAnet Terminals on the Termination Card. The terminals enable VESDAnet communication cables to be brought into the detector and then looped out to another device. Data communication between the detector and other devices on VESDAnet are bidirectional. The polarity of the data wires must be maintained throughout the network. It is recommended that RS 485 (BELDEN 9841 - 120 Ohm) twisted pair cables (or similar) be used. The LaserCOMP ACT is shipped without the VESDAnet A and B channels looped. If the detector is not to be networked with other devices, then loop the A and B channels.

(closed loop)

Relay terminals

There are three relays designated Fault, Pre-Alarm and Fi re . The rela ys ca n be used to conne ct to the fire alarm control panel or to activate external devices. The default relay states are nonenergized except the fault relay, which is set to the energized state on power up. The relays can be programmed to either state.

After installing the LaserCOMPACT detector it is necessary to power up the system. The system takes approximately 15 seconds to power up. If the system fails to power up, check all power wires are secured to its terminals and the polarities of the power wires are correctly terminated.

On power up:

• The aspirator starts up

• The LED indicators on the LaserCOMPACT front cover:

- Will light up and cycle on and off

- If a fault has been detected the FAULT LED indicator will remain lit

- If the system is functioning normally the OK LED indicator will remain lit

• If a Remote Display Module is connected the following indicators are lit:

- Fire alarm threshold indicators

- Smoke threshold levels on bar graph

- Two digit numerical display

- Various fault indicators if there are any faults

- System OK indicator if there are no faults

If any of the above does not happen, contact your commissioning engineer or distributor to troubleshoot.

Note: It is normal for the detector to display troubles immediately after power up. Reset

the detector by pressing the reset button on th e front cover of the detector to unlatch the relays and fault LEDs. The fault LEDs on the front cover will illuminate. Proceed with the preliminary systems check.
