1. Overview
The LaserCOMPACT is an aspirating sm oke detec tor that provides all the benefits of aspirating
smoke detection, including very early warning, for small areas. The LaserCOMPACT has been
designed to protect areas up to 500sq.m (5,000sq.ft).
The detector operates by drawing air from a pr otected area via a pipe network . A sam ple of the
air is filtered to remove dust and dirt before it is passed through the laser detec tion chamber.
Smoke present in the detection chamber creates light scattering, which via sophisticated
electronics produces a signal representing the absolute level of smoke present.
The LaserCOMPACT can be pr ogrammed to have 2 or 3 alarm thresholds, which can be set
across its wide sensitivity range to provide both very early warning of a potential fire situation
and allow the initiation of further control procedures should the smoke level increase.
All pipe network designs for the LaserCOMPACT should be supported by the ASPIRE Pipe
Modelling program results.
VESDA products are only distributed through trained and accredited channels.
It is understood that personnel installing this equipm ent are fam iliar with the VESDA technology
and have a good understanding of local codes and standards regarding electrical cabling.
Installation engineers should be certified where appropriate.

2.7 Relay Outputs
There are three relays (Fire, Pre-Alarm and Fault) for interfacing to ex ternal devices or to the
Fire Alarm Panel. The relays are programmable to the energised (latched) or de-energised (nonlatched) states via a PC or LCD Program mer. Refer to the table below for the c onditions for
these relays to change states.
Note: The Fault relay is set to the energised (latched) state on power up and is de-energised
(unlatched) when a fault or Alert condition is present. Connec tion is made between the
NO and C terminals when the relay is energised.
RELAY CONDITIONS FOR RELAYS TO CHANGE STATES

2.8 Auxiliary Terminals
The auxiliary terminals on the term ination card are Bias, Reset and LED. Refer to Section 4.7
for wire connection details. These terminals have the following functions:-
Bias terminals These output terminals provide 10VDC supply to power the Reset input
terminals via a remote ON/OFF switch.
LED terminals These output terminals pr ovide a 5V, 15mA DC supply via a 220 ohm resistor
to drive an LED located in another part of the building.
Reset terminals These terminals are also known as the General Purpose Input (GPI) and is
(GPI Input) used for one of these three functions; Reset, Mains OK or Standby. The
Reset terminals can be programmed to one of the functions if required and
requires 5V to 33VDC to operate. Any input into this terminal overrides the
Reset switch on the front panel. These functions operate as follows:-
Reset/
Isolate
The detector Isolates when ≥ 5 VDC is applied to this terminal and
Reset when the voltage drops ≤ 2 VDC.
Mains
OK
The detector monitors the state of the external power supply and
responds to the following conditions.
Mains OK ≥ 5 VDC is at this terminal
Mains Fail ≤ 2 VDC is at this terminal
Standby
The detector Isolates and the aspirator turns OFF when ≥ 5 VDC is at
this terminal.
Note: The input states are not defined for any voltages > 2 to < 5 VDC.
2.9 Cable Entry Ports
There are four 25 m m (1in) ∅ cable entry ports on the top right hand side of the detector. Any of
the ports can be used to run the cables into the detector. Refer to Figure 4, 6 and Section 3.4 for
more details.
2.10 Event Log
The detector stores and logs up to a maximum of 12,000 events on a first in fir st out basis. By
regulation, detectors are normally required to be powered from a battery backed DC power
supply. This ensures that the log is held indefinitely. If it is required to totally remove the DC
power source and it is considered the log may hold useful then the user should download the log
into a PC using VConfig Pro software program before disconnecting the DC power.
