What to do if VESDA VLQ-100 Smoke Alarm indicates low airflow?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm indicates low airflow, it means the airflow through one or both sample pipes has exceeded the acceptable low flow limit. Check the sampling holes and pipe for obstruction or partial blockage. Examine the environment for changes that may affect airflow. If a cause cannot be found, normalize the detector.
What to do if VESDA VLQ-100 Smoke Alarm filter life expired?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm indicates that the filter life has expired, replace the filter and reset the filter use percentage value.
What to do if VESDA Smoke Alarm displays 'filter not fitted or fitted incorrectly'?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm displays 'filter not fitted or fitted incorrectly', check the filter is fitted correctly or insert a new filter.
What to do if VESDA VLQ-100 Smoke Alarm airflow normalization failed?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm's airflow normalization failed, it means that the detector has been unable to establish a reference level for normal airflow. Check the sample holes, pipe, and connection to the unit for obstruction and integrity. Make corrections as required, restart the unit, wait 10 minutes, then normalize again.
What to do if VESDA VLQ-100 Smoke Alarm shows 24V input power supply fault?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm shows a 24V input power supply fault, it means the 24V input voltage is lower than 18V or higher than 30V. Check the PSU voltage across the 0V and +24V terminals on the rear of the unit with a multimeter to ensure it is constant and between 18 - 30V DC. Adjust or replace the PSU as required.
What to do if VESDA VLQ-100 Smoke Alarm autolearn smoke failed?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm's autolearn smoke feature failed, it means that the detector has been unable to establish suitable alarm thresholds during Autolearn Smoke. Re-activate when the area is smoke-free, or set suitable Pre-Alarm and Fire thresholds manually using the onboard DIP switches or the Xtralis QSC software.
What to do if VESDA Smoke Alarm monitored General Purpose Input line is open or short circuit?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm indicates that the monitored General Purpose Input line is open or short circuit, check that the 47K EOL resistor is fitted to the GPI terminals on the back of the unit. Examine the monitored device (if fitted).
What to do if VESDA Smoke Alarm reports external device failure?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm reports an external device failure, check that the EOL resistor is fitted and examine the monitored device (if fitted).
What to do if VESDA Smoke Alarm display panel button is stuck?
If a button on the VESDA Smoke Alarm's display panel is stuck, attempt to release the button and check that the detector housing and front panel are correctly fitted and aligned.
What to do if VESDA VLQ-100 Smoke Alarm shows high airflow?
If the VESDA Smoke Alarm displays a high airflow warning, it indicates that the airflow through one or both sample pipes has exceeded the acceptable high flow limit. Check the sample pipes for damage or breaks. Examine the environment for changes that may affect airflow. If a cause cannot be found, normalize the detector.
