Evacuating a correctional facility is dangerous. Ideally smoke is detected early and the situation can be controlled without the need for evacuation. Smoke detectors in cells need to be tamper-proof to avoid vandalism.
| Why use a VESDA system? |
 |
 |
 |
| VESDA detectors use tamper-proof sampling holes in applications where vandalism may be a problem. |
Superior performance in large open spaces where smoke tends to stratify, never reaching conventional point-type detectors located on the high ceilings of communal areas |
Multiple configurable pre-alarms provide control in a fire situation, for example, very early warning for investigation and subsequent warnings to intiate automated fire department notification, evacuation and suppression. |
 |
 |
 |
| The detector can be positioned in a secure place that has easy access for maintenance, such as a utility cupboard. |
Remote monitoring and configuration of detectors where needed. |
The active sampling, tolerance to contamination and sensitivity of VESDA systems enables hidden and tamper-proof sampling in the air-conditioning ducts serving each cell. |
