VESDA ECO (Ex) Aspirating Gas Detector

VESDA ECO (Ex) uses an existing VESDA pipe network to actively sample air for the presence of flammable gas / vapours (alcohols). It integrates with building systems (FACP, PLC, HVAC and BMS), delivers real-time situational awareness and intelligent emergency response for personnel safety and property protection including the activation of demand-controlled ventilation to save energy and control costs.   

Invisible hazards can originate from the release of combustible gases/vapors. As with fire detection, proactive gas detection enables countermeasures to be taken to protect personnel and property from such unseen dangers.

• Approved for Class I Div 2 applications (ECO (Ex) only)
• Flammable (Alcohols) gas detection
• Factory calibrated sensor cartridges
• Integral alarm status LEDs
• Integrates with PLCs/HVAC/BMS/FACP
• Configurable relays
• 4-20 mA analog outputs
• RS485 Modbus output
• On-board event logging
• On-board fault diagnostics
• Integral gas test port
• Remote reset

• Leverages existing VESDA pipe networks to cost effectively detect both smoke and gas in addition to providing environmental monitoring
• Provides detection for flammable gas (alcohols) through simple expansion without major construction or retrofitting
• Works in harsh environments
• Provides non-intrusive detection for aesthetics or to prevent vandalism
• Enables centralized monitoring and communication with building systems for real-time awareness
• Integrates easily with FACP/PLC/HVAC/BMS

VESDA ECO (Ex) provides early warning of flammable (alcohols) gas hazards to protect personnel and property whilst ensuring business continuity.
