VESDA air sampling smoke detection system
CAUTION:
Excess dust within the HP POD 20c can cause the VESDA smoke detector to trigger
a fire alarm.
The VESDA system features a single-zone laser scan, early warning smoke detector to provide the earliest
warning of a potential fire.
The red VESDA piping that runs throughout the HP POD 20c includes inlets for smoke sampling. The VESDA
The red VESDA piping that runs throughout the HP POD 20c includes inlets for smoke sampling. The VESDA
uses a high-efficiency aspirator to continuously draw in air from the HP POD 20c and circulate the air through
a dual-stage filter:
a dual-stage filter:
•
Stage 1—A filter removes dust and dirt from the air sample.
•
Stage 2—An ultra-fine filter removes remaining contaminants in the air sample.
After the air passes through the dual-stage filter, it enters a calibrated detection chamber where a laser scans
the air sample for the presence of smoke. The VESDA system cycles through two levels if smoke is detected:

IMPORTANT:
The VESDA filter must be changed regularly to ensure accurate smoke detection
readings. For more information about changing the VESDA filters, see the HP Performance
Optimized Datacenter 20c Maintenance and Service Guide.
(Optional) Fire protection system
Each HP POD 20c is equipped with a fire alarm panel that is integrated with the fire detection system and the
optional fire suppression system.
