POTTER VSA-1
Product Overview
The VSA-1 is a UL Listed, self-contained sound detection system designed to protect both reverberant and non-reverberant vaults, including bank and mercantile environments. Engineered for high reliability, it features an integrated controller and microphone, automatic and manual balancing options, and a built-in accumulator capable of registering up to nine pre-alarm signals below the standard threshold.
Installation is simplified with two ½" conduit openings, on-board test functions, and compatibility with remote annunciator testing. Powered directly by the alarm control panel, the VSA-1 includes an internal sounder and status LED, ensuring comprehensive performance validation. Its high-impact halogen-free PC/ABS enclosure incorporates tamper protection, making it suitable for demanding security applications.
