    What causes urgent high airflow in Xtralis VESDA VLC-400 Smoke Alarm and how to fix it?
    • S
      Stephen BeltranAug 26, 2025
      If the airflow in your Xtralis Smoke Alarm exceeds the urgent high threshold, inspect the pipe work for breakages or leaks and rectify them. Cracks or breaks in the pipe work render the system much less sensitive to smoke in the protected area. Then, perform a ‘Normalize Airflow’ via Xtralis VSC.

    Why was AutoLearn aborted on my Xtralis VESDA VLC-400?
    • R
      Robert PorterSep 7, 2025
      If AutoLearn has been cancelled before the end of the set period of your Xtralis Smoke Alarm, this may be due to a Fire condition being detected during the learning period. Inspect the Smoke trends using Xtralis VSC. Investigate and eliminate the causes and re-run AutoLearn, or set the alarm thresholds manually.
