Why Upgrade Your VESDA System?

What is a VESDA System?

A VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) system provides advanced smoke detection by continuously monitoring the air through a pipping systems for signs of smoke. It is renowned for its early warning capabilities, which are crucial for safeguarding lives and property.

Why Consider a VESDA Upgrade?

Upgrading your VESDA system is vital for several reasons:

Enhanced Detection Capabilities

• Advanced Technology: Newer VESDA systems offer improved detection sensitivity and accuracy, reducing false alarms while ensuring early smoke detection.
• Better Coverage: Modern systems provide enhanced coverage and more precise monitoring of larger or more complex areas.

Compliance with Current Regulations

• Updated Standards AS1851.2012 : Since the introduction of the AS1851 Maintenance Standard in 2012, there have been significant changes affecting fire system maintenance, particularly for VESDA systems. One key update is the requirement for smoke chamber calibration checks on VESDA systems older than 10 years. This ensures that detectors maintain their sensitivity and performance over time.
• AS1851.2012 Standard solution: For systems that are 10 years or older, a calibration check must be conducted by returning the detector to the manufacturer, which can be costly and impractical. To address this, Replacing your VESDA system offers a more cost-effective solution.

Increased Reliability

• Prevent Failures: Older VESDA systems may be prone to malfunctions or lack support for necessary parts. Upgrading ensures you avoid disruptions and maintain operational reliability.
• Ongoing Support: New systems come with updated support and service options, reducing the risk of downtime.

Improved Integration

• System Integration: Modern VESDA systems offer better integration with other building management systems, such as fire alarms and emergency protocols.
• Enhanced Functionality: Seamlessly connect with other safety systems for a more coordinated and efficient response during emergencies.

Future-Proof Your Safety

• Technological Advancements: Investing in the latest VESDA technology prepares your       building for future advancements and ensures long-term effectiveness.
• Scalability: New systems are designed to be scalable, accommodating future needs and       expansions.
