Xtralis VESDA Aspirating Smoke Detection
Very early warning air-sampling detection for server rooms, clean rooms and high-value assets — supplied, designed and commissioned by Intech.
Brand overview
Aspirating Detection by Xtralis
VESDA is Xtralis's aspirating smoke detection range. Rather than waiting for smoke to reach a ceiling detector, a fan draws air continuously from the protected area through a pipe network and analyses it in a detection chamber.
The range spans compact units protecting a single cabinet or room up to detectors covering a full data hall, with staged alarm thresholds so an investigate-now warning arrives well before anything sounds an evacuation. Intech supplies, designs the pipe layout, installs and maintains the range.
- Continuous air sampling The protected area is tested constantly rather than monitored passively.
- Staged alarm thresholds An early alert to investigate, long before an evacuation signal.
- Detector at working height Only pipework enters the protected space, so servicing needs no ceiling access.
- Pipe layout modelled Each sampling point is sized to draw its intended share of the air.

Which unit suits your room depends on its volume, airflow and the sensitivity required — that comes out of the site assessment.

System
How a VESDA System Is Put Together
01
Sampling points
Holes along the pipe network draw air from across the protected area.
02
Pipe network
A fan carries that air back to the detector at an accessible height.
03
Detection chamber
The sample is analysed for particulate well below point-detector sensitivity.
04
Staged response
Configured thresholds alert, warn and then signal the fire alarm panel.
Applications
Where VESDA Is Specified
Aspirating detection is chosen where the loss is downtime rather than the fire itself, or where a point detector would simply be too slow.
Data centres and server rooms
High airflow dilutes smoke before it reaches a ceiling detector.
Industry detailCleanrooms and laboratories
Sampling points stay discreet and the detector sits outside the clean space.
Industry detailWarehouses and cold storage
Height, racking and low temperatures defeat conventional detection.
Industry detailSwitch and control rooms
Finds an overheating supply before it becomes a fire.
Industry detailArchives and heritage
Discreet installation where fabric and contents are irreplaceable.
Industry detailIndustrial facilities
Copes with dust, temperature swings and areas hard to reach.

VESDA-E - The Next Generation of Aspirating Smoke Detection
For decades, the VESDA range of Aspirating Smoke Detectors (ASD) has been recognized as the best in the world. New VESDA-E range has a range of features, including dramatically increased sensitivity – up to 15 times greater than previous models; flexibility for deployment in a wide variety of applications; multi-port addressability - a first for ASD; unparalleled connectivity & expansion options; and, field upgradability. All these features combine to make VESDA-E the best choise for early warning of smoke and fire threats. VESDA-E's sensitivty, flexibility, reliability, programmability, and expandability provides customers with superior performance and protection, while lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Technical datasheetVESDA Aspirating Smoke Detection
Xtralis is a global leader and pioneer in life safety. We invented VESDA very early warning aspirating smoke detection (ASD), the world's leading ASD brand. Customers worldwide rely on VESDA when business continuity is imperative, environments are challenging, and time is required to ensure safe and orderly evacuation. VESDA ASD systems also can be equipped with modules to detect hazardous/combustible gases to extend their value beyond smoke detection to include gas detection and environmental monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What project teams usually ask about Xtralis VESDA.
Still have a question?
Speak directly with one of our fire safety engineers.
Call +91 88795 33000What is VESDA?
Xtralis's aspirating smoke detection range. A fan draws air from the protected area through a pipe network into a detection chamber, which analyses it for smoke particles.
How is it different from a smoke detector?
A point detector waits for smoke to reach it. VESDA brings the air to the detector and analyses it at a sensitivity well below what a point device responds to.
Which VESDA unit do I need?
It depends on the volume to be protected, the airflow in the room and the sensitivity required. The site assessment establishes that before anything is quoted.
Can it be installed in an existing room?
Usually yes. Pipework routes above ceilings, through voids or along racking, and the detector mounts at an accessible height.
Does it integrate with our fire alarm panel?
In most cases, where the panel and detector support a compatible interface. We confirm that against the specific equipment on both sides.
What maintenance does it need?
Airflow is monitored continuously and reported as a fault if it changes. Beyond that, filters, sampling point checks and detector servicing are scheduled under AMC.
