Not surprised the alarms are Simplex TrueAlert horn/strobes, easily one of the loudest electronic horn/strobes out there (it's about as loud as the System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance and the Wheelock AS.)
I noticed you had a DIY retrofit on your SOLO 330 for testing the air sampling tubes. Did JCI not provide you with a SOLO 365 with an air sampling tube adapter?
So how come they went with this system as opposed to a normal smoke detector set up? Is there a special purpose with that building that requires very early detection? Seems to be a bit of an extreme system purely for occupant safety.
So, do VESDAs use some sort of photoelectric sensor, and are there ways to adjust the sensitivity on the network (probably a stupid question, but just curious)?
Each individual sampling unit contains a laser chamber in which the air is circulated and filtered. Units can be configured for sensitivity along with carry out other various diagnostics from the network head end. The software I've seen go into these systems is quite remarkable.

I currently do not have that particular attachment. This gadget was made by one of our other techs.
Nice! I hear these are installed in places where smoke detectors are not ideal, correct?
Correct. For enhanced detection.
One of our projects it takes too long detection and Activation...Any idea
Cooooooool thanks for the information!!
Thanks for viewing!
SAFETECH your welcome.
That is a cool System

The building houses very high dollar electronics in areas that must be closely monitored for signs of overheating.
Great 👍

So does this take the place of smoke detectors?
Correct. Only in the areas covered by the VESDA tubing.
Cool! Very interesting!

Wow this was really cool thanks for sharing this very cool
Thank you for viewing!
How to interface the fire panel in mobile it is possible?
Awesome!
Thanks!
Yay! Fire alarms! Boo! Electronic fire alarms! XD
Slow code 3 ?
Not a good place to have horns instead of voice evac lol
Fire alarms 🚨 I love but at mr cecede it so loud fire alarm
NO!
