ECO-SC-42 Xtralis Sensor Cartridge

Expanding on the market-leading VESDA air-sampling smoke detection technology, Xtralis has developed the first industry system to combine ASD with gas detection and environmental monitoring.

VESDA ECO by Xtralis provides protection from both fire and gas threats in powerful yet cost-effective configurations to provide point, zone or total-area coverage in battery-charging rooms, underground utility tunnels, boiler rooms, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, parking garages, transportation centers, and a variety of other applications.

VESDA ECO uses an existing VESDA air sampling pipe network to actively monitor for gas leaks and continuously ensure air quality in occupied areas. This simple expansion requires no construction and does not involve installing electrical conduit. ECO reliably detects unseen hazards by conditioning or filtering the air to remove moisture, interferent gases, dirt and other particulates that can cause traditional point gas detection systems to false alarm or become contaminated.

The VESDA ECO detector is configured using Xtralis VSC configuration software and can be monitored using Xtralis VSM4 monitoring software. Both VSC and VSM can be used to download data from the on-board memory card for data analysis and trending of historical data.

Integration with other building systems, including fi re alarm control panels, PLCs, HVAC and building management systems, provides real-time situational awareness for intelligent emergency response. For example, VESDA ECO can be used in a transportation hub to monitor carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide levels, activating variable-speed fans as part of a demand-controlled ventilation system, which controls costs and saves energy.

Each ECO gas detector can house up to two gas sensors, and additional detectors can be added easily to the VESDA pipe network to monitor more gases if required. Pre-calibrated sensor cartridges are easily replaced in the field and make converting to different gas sensors or replacing sensors a simple task.

With VESDA ECO by Xtralis, you can proactively protect your facility with early warning fire and gas detection and maintain enterprise air quality, with significant costs savings and more reliable results over traditional gas detectors.
