A VESDA programmer is a handheld or LCD device used to configure alarm levels, reset timers, and troubleshoot faults in aspirating smoke detection systems.

Most legacy models like the VLP and VLF use the VRT-100 handheld programmer. However, newer VESDA-E models are typically configured via a PC or specialized interface. Always check compatibility with your specific detector model.

We provide access to VESDA programmer manuals and data sheets for most Xtralis products. Contact our sales team if you need assistance identifying the correct manual for your programmer.

No, VESDA programming should only be carried out by competent personnel with suitable knowledge of the system.
