Important pre-maintenance preparations
Air Flow
Air flow is shown for each pipe as a
percentage of current flow vs. the
amount of flow when last normalized.
In this case (102.0%) the current
detector flow is slightly higher.
Raw Flow
Raw flow is shown for each pipe. In
this case, VESDA-E, it is shown in
L/min. Other detectors use alternate
units of measure. Raw flow is another
tool for comparing current conditions
vs. previously recorded expected
performance.

Troubleshooting with Xtralis VSC
The Xtralis VSC software displays faults in the active event list as
they occur.
The list displays the date and time of the fault, the serial number of
the device on which the fault has occurred, the zone number, fault
number, and a description of the fault.
For detailed information about a fault, access the device tree menu,
and select the device. This will display the details of the fault.
The fault is removed from the active event list once it is cleared.
Fault Detail
Airflow Faults
Urgent Low/High Airflow
If the Ultrasonic Board not connected Fault (code 780) appears, the
cable from the main Detector board to the flow sensor board is most
likely unplugged and will need to be reconnected.
If the Flow Sensor Module Failed Fault (code 781) appears the
detector needs to be replaced.
Normalization Faults
Normalization Faults
Fault Codes:
Fault 776 - Normalization failed
Always ensure the shipping tape has been removed from exhaust
port before normalization.
Also ensure pipe runs have been aspired and return a minimum of
15ltrs/min per pipe.
Communication Faults

Filter Faults
The air filter is approaching its capacity. The filter has nearly
exceeded its smoke exposure limit.
Before removing the Aspirator make sure the front Fascia has
been removed.
Fix the three screws and connect the sampling module cable.
Replacing the Smoke Detection Chamber
Remove the Smoke Detection Chamber
There may be cases where the VESDA-E Smoke Chamber may
need to be replaced. Smoke Chamber replacement should be
based on the Fault Code generated by the detector and
displayed by VSC.
