Detector Location
Any installation of an ECO gas detector must comply with local
safety regulations and to the fire safety regulations
when being fitted as
part of a fire detection network.
Before commencing the ins
tallation process the system designer and installer must
first carefully consider where in the pipe network the ECO device is to be located.
The initial stage of the design process requires completion and submission of the
VESDA ECO application form. Thi
s is available from, and should be returned
your local Xtralis Field Applications Engineer or qualified distributor / installer.
To be effective the ECO device must be installed with a properly designed and laid
out aspiration pipe network. If the unit is to be
fitted to an existing pipe network, the
designer and installer of the system must ensure that the addition of ECO gas
detectors does not invalidate the certification of the installed system.
There are three possible mounting configurations for the
ECO detector
Figure 2 below.

Alternative gas detection configurations
• Localized Point Mounting -
mounting a detector at a specific location in
the pipe network permits local
ized monitoring to give earlier detection of
gas levels in a higher risk area, reducing both the transport time and
possibly the dilution of the sample.
• Inlet Mounted -
mounting a detector on one of the inlets of the aspirator
permits selective monitoring
of that branch of the pipe network.
• Exhaust Mounted - mounting a detector o
n the exhaust
permits the entire pipe network
to be monitored by a single detector.
