LaserSCANNER Product Manual VESDA®
1. Overview
The LaserSCANNER is a four air inlet aspirating smoke detector similar to the LaserPLUS but
with the added feature of being able to detect the source and spread of a fire by individual pipe
identification. A zone is broken down into four sectors and air samples are taken from all sectors
to be analysed for smoke by VESDA.
The detector operates by drawing air from a protected area via a pipe network. A sample of the
air is filtered to remove dust and dirt before it is passed through the laser detection chamber.
Smoke present in the detection chamber creates light scattering, which via sophisticated
electronics produces a signal representing the absolute level of smoke present.
The LaserSCANNER can have its alarm threshold levels programmed to a suitable level per
sector, to suit the condition of the site and to minimise unwanted false alarms. This ensures the
optimum sensitivity is applied to provide very early warning of a potential fire situation to allow
the initiation of preventative measures.
All pipe network designs for the LaserSCANNER should be supported by the ASPIRE Pipe
Modelling program results.
VESDA products are only distributed through trained and accredited channels.
It is understood that personnel installing this equipment are familiar with the VESDA technology
and have a good understanding of local codes and standards regarding electrical cabling.
Installation engineers should be certified where appropriate.
For details of your nearest Accredited Distributors please contact Vision Systems – VESDA.

2.4 LaserSCANNER Overview

The standard configuration for the LaserSCANNER detector, model no. VLS-012 has a
SCANNER Display and a LCD Programmer located on the front cover as shown in Figure 1.
LaserSCANNER detectors may be purchased later SCANNER Displays and/or LCD
Programmer modules or with no modules. The Programmer and Display modules enable the
user to obtain real time information about the detector and to program various detector settings.
The LaserSCANNER is a four air inlet aspirating smoke detector apparatus used to detect
smoke levels during the early stages of a fire from 4 sectors within a fire zone. Each air inlet
pipe has a valve that opens and closes to control the airflow through the pipes. The embedded
software inside the detector controls the operation of the valves when smoke has been detected
from within the zone. The pipe that is carrying the smoke is isolated from the other pipes by
opening this valve and the smoke sample taken from this pipe can then be analysed by the
detector. This enables the detector to pinpoint the affected sector or sectors within the fire zone.
Air is continuously drawn in from all sectors in use by a proprietary, high efficiency aspirator. A
sample of this air is passed through the Laser Detection Chamber to measure the smoke
density. When the smoke intensity reaches the Adaptive Scan threshold level, the detector
performs a Fast Scan operation by opening and closing the valves to identify the pipe that is
carrying the smoke. If there is more than one pipe transporting the smoke, the sector with the
highest smoke concentration is designated as the First Alarm Sector (FAS).
The LaserSCANNER identifies the origin of a fire within a fire zone by identifying the sector with
the highest smoke level. Once the source has been located, other sectors are then monitored to
determine the spread of fire. The LaserSCANNER valves opens one pipe at a time and
measures the smoke levels from this pipe. The display shows the current air inlet pipe being
measured by displaying P1 or P2 or P3 or P4 on the two digit indicator.
Once Fast Scan is completed and the FAS identified, the LaserSCANNER continues to closely
monitor all four sectors (pipes) to monitor the growth of the fire.
There are four alarm threshold levels, (Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2) for each sector (pipe).
The sensitivity for each alarm level can be programmed to ensure that the optimum alarm
thresholds are applied to each sector.

The sampled air is passed out back into the atmosphere via the exhaust pipe or to the zone via
suitable piping.

Figure 9 View of LaserSCANNER Valves
Version 1.1 15
The LaserSCANNER detector has a valve located inside each inlet port that is able to open and
close independently under software control. The valve shuts off the air flowing through the pipe
and isolates the pipe from the remaining pipes. This enables individual pipes to be tested for
smoke.
3.8 Air Inlet Manifold
The inlet manifold is located behind the chassis and its function is to combine all the four air
inlet ports into one outlet. The outlet of the manifold connects directly to the inlet of the
aspirator. Refer to Section 11.0 for manifold picture.
3.9 Air Filter Cartridge
The air filter cartridge is located behind a removable cover on the front of the detector. Refer to
Figure 1 and 7 for location of the air filter. Remove the air filter cover to gain access to the air
filter cartridge.
The filter elements are housed inside a disposable cartridge and cannot be cleaned for reuse.
To remove the air filter cartridge, undo the filter release screw and lift out the air filter cartridge.
Refer to Section 11.3 for procedure to change the air filter cartridge.
The sampled air from the environment passes through two stages of air filters within the air filter
cartridge. The first stage removes the large particles of dirt and allows the smaller smoke
particles to pass into the detection chamber for analysis. The second stage removes the smaller
particles of dirt and passes very clean air into the detection chamber to keep the optical
surfaces clean.
The expected operating life of the filter is 5 years in a normal office environment. In dusty
environments, the life expectancy of the filter is reduced. The detector monitors the air filter life
and efficiency and the user is prompted when it is time to change the air filter.
3.10 Aspirator
The aspirator is a proprietary high efficiency suction air pump that draws in air through a
network of sampling air pipes and passes a small sample of the filtered air into the laser
detection chamber. Refer to Figure 7 for location of the aspirator. The rest of the air is forced out
through the exhaust pipe located at the bottom centre of the mounting box. The aspirator speed
is programmable from 3000 to 4200rpm and runs continuously at the programmed regulated
speed. The airflow through the aspirator is monitored continuously by an airflow sensor located
inside each air inlet port and the user is prompted when there is a reduction or an increase in
the airflow.
3.11 Laser Detection Chamber

The Laser detection chamber is located on the top left side of the chassis assembly behind the
central processor card. Refer to Figure 7.
Note: This component is not serviceable.
In this chamber, a small portion of the smoky air passes through a laser beam causing light
scattering. The scattered light is analysed by the central processor card to determine the smoke
density or obscuration.
3.12 Processor Card

The central processor card is located on the chassis assembly behind an insulated backing
sheet. A single screw and four plastic fingers secure the card to the chassis. Refer to Figure 7.
Note: This component is not serviceable.

4.3 Power Terminals
Use the Power (+) and Power (-) terminals for 24VDC power connection. Refer to Figures 10,
11 and 12. The Power (+) terminal is for positive 24VDC supply and the Power (-) terminal is
for DC Ground. The four power terminals enable power to be brought into the detector via a
single wire pair and looped out to another device via another wire pair. The detector has reverse
polarity protection to minimise the risk of a reverse power connection to the detector.
Note: The LaserSCANNER will not operate when the supply is reversed.
Do not operate when the DC supply voltage is outside the device operating
voltage range of 18VDC to 30VDC. Damage may occur if more than 30VDC is
applied.

4.4 VESDAnet Terminals
Use the VESDAnet terminals designated VESDAnet A (+), VESDAnet A (-), VESDAnet B (+),
VESDAnet B (-) and Shield (Qty 2) for the VESDAnet communication link. Refer to Figure 10
and 11. These terminals enable the VESDAnet communication wires to be brought into the
detector and looped out to another device.
Data communication between detectors is bidirectional and any of the A or B channel set of
terminals may be used to terminate the incoming or outgoing wires. Refer to Figure 13 for wiring
details. The polarity of the data wires must be maintained throughout the network and all Shield
wires must be terminated at all wire ends.
When the detector is to be used as a stand-alone device and is not connected into VESDAnet,
the VESDAnet A and B channels must be looped as shown in Figure 14. The detector is
shipped from the factory with the VESDAnet A and B channels looped. This loop must be
removed if the detector is to be connected into VESDAnet.
VESDAnet was designed to function at its optimum in a Closed Loop network (Refer to Figure
13 for closed loop wiring) and this configuration is highly recommended to achieve a redundant
fault tolerant loop. The detectors must be programmed to the Closed Loop configuration
(system default setting).
An Opened Loop configuration is possible by not linking the VESDAnet terminals between
detectors 1 and 5 (Refer to Figure 13). Detector 1 and detector 5 must be programmed to the
Opened Loop configuration or the system will generate a System and Network fault.
