Product Overview
Strong Background
The VALI range is build on more than 20 years of experience in the fog
security industry.
Powerful
The addition of the V10 and V20 to the SmokeCloak range offers a new
level of raw power in terms of the amount of output these units are able
to produce. Whilst also being the slimmest and sleekest machines to be
produced to date, this makes them perfect for any application, be that an
ofce requiring a professional yet discreet look, or a retail outlet requiring
lightning quick response time and maximum protection.
Simplicity
From the new ‘engineer friendly’ mounting system to the onboard USB
interface – the design of the VALI range is focused on ease of installation,
ease of use, monitoring for the customer and greater serviceability.
Versatility
As well as the mix of explosive output and sleek looks, the VALI range
can also be customized to suit any installation. The inclusion of a new
interchangeable nozzle system means the machine is far more versatile
in terms of where it can be positioned within a room and also the type of
coverage it can provide within that space.

5. Installation
5.1 Prior to Installation
Requirements - UK installations
In the UK the installation must be carried out to conform with British Standard
BS7939:1999 for the installation and maintenance of Smoke Security Devices.
BS7939 installation requirements summary
The installer should, prior to the installation liaise with the local re
authority to ensure that there are no local restrictions in force.
The installation should only be conducted by trained personnel who have
passed a written test.
The SmokeCloak should be congured so that it can only activate when
the burglar alarm is set. The SmokeCloak must not be congured to form
a “man-trap” i.e. activate to cut off a means of escape.
The SmokeCloak should not be installed to cover escape routes and
staircases of areas that are still occupied. Care should be given not to
fog joint access areas of adjoining premises. In multi-occupancy buildings
or in large sites with internally SmokeCloak protected areas, the vapour
must be conned to those areas and must not be allowed to infringe into
public or open areas.
Care must be given to automatic re alarm systems so as not to cause
unwanted or false activations.
Consideration should be given to audible and visual indication of
SmokeCloak activation.
The installer should inform the re brigade, police and monitoring station
of the installation prior to commissioning.
A full test activation should be performed as part of the installation.
For installations outside the UK, please adhere to local standards
* All VALI units are tested according to the EN 50131-8
14 VALI Range user manual
5.2 Position
The VALI can be installed vertically for wall mounting, or alternatively
mounted horizontally for ceiling installations. The VALI’s uid container
design means that no modications are required when changing between
horizontal and vertical mountings.
This equipment should only be installed and connected
to the supply by a suitably skilled and competent
person.
This apparatus must be earthed. Connections are
made to a plug-in terminal block. The SmokeCloak
should be connected to a standard 13 amp fused
spur.
Flexible mains cables must have a minimum cross-
section area of 1.25 mm2 (and must be BASEC
approved in the UK). Ensure that the protective
earth conductor is made longer than the live and
neutral conductors, and that the cable clamp grips
both the sheath and insulation.
5.3 Torque Settings
In order to avoid damaging some of the internal xings and components it
is important that the specied torque settings are not exceeded.
Unless otherwise stated within this manual, the maximum torque to be
used for all xings within the VALI machine should be 1.2 Nm

VALI Range user manual
5.4 Mounting the machine
1. Screw the installation bracket to the wall/ceiling Horizontal: 6 mm
threaded hanging bars should be used. These should be located on
the slots at the ends of the hanging bracket and tightly fastened into
position.
2. Ensure that the cables are routed through the bracket and fed through
the grommet bushes. The access hole in the installation bracket
should allow the cables to be easily fed into position.
3. Offer the machine into place and push back until you feel it slide into
position.
4. Use the 4 xing points to secure the machine in position.
5. Follow the instructions for wiring and connecting the machine.
16 VALI Range user manual
Wall mounting: It is not recommended to install
the machine in excess of 2.5 m high, otherwise the
smoke coverage near the oor may be compromised.
Horizontal mounting: Ensure the machine is no
more than 3 m above the oor, otherwise smoke
dispersal may be compromised.

VALI Range user manual
6. Choosing and
changing the nozzle
VALI will come as standard with no nozzle installed. It is the
job of the installer to assess, install and test which of the
nozzles supplied should be used in order to ensure that the
machine is best suited to the particular installation.
Straight Nozzle Provides a single powerful burst directed
perpendicular to the front of the
machine.
30-Degree Nozzle Provides a single powerful burst
directed at 30° to the front plane of the
machine.
Note: by changing the orientation of
the nozzle the effect can be projected
in varying directions.
18 VALI Range user manual
7. Installing the correct nozzle
for the rst time:
1. By making a quick assessment of the area to be protected by the
SmokeCloak, decide which of the two available standard nozzles
should be used. You can see examples on the previous page.
2. Remove the warning label
3. Take the required nozzle and install it within the nozzle body.
4. Take the circlip provided and using a pair of internal circlip pliers,
engage the circlip into the ridge running around the inside of the
nozzle body. It is crucial this is installed correctly in order to retain the
nozzle safely.
5. Once the nozzle is correctly engaged, install the grille plate using the
4x black taptite screws found in the accessory pack. It is important
that the suggested torque settings are adhered to.
6. Follow the test procedure.
Take great caution when changing the nozzle, it
becomes extremely hot as the machine heats up.
Do not attempt to handle the nozzle once the
machine has heated up to temperature.
Following any installation or changing of the nozzle
– Ensure that a test ring is carried out to ensure
that the new nozzle has been correctly and safely
installed. When performing this rst test ring
insure that the grille plate is installed correctly and
everybody is standing back from the front of the
machine.

8. Fluid
FL600-V uid is used to generate the vapour cloud. This glycol based
uid is made to a special formula, which is designed to produce 40%
obscuration of light at 40 cm with minimum condensation.
8.1 Installing the Fluid Bottle
Your VALI product will be supplied with a full uid container installed. It
will arrive with a sealed travel cap installed. The following steps should
be taken in order to correctly install the uid bottle and the uid sensing unit.
1. Remove the uid bottle from the machine,
2. Slide the uid sensor assembly inside the bottle – screw down the cap
tightly to create a seal.
3. The bottle can then be slid back into position within the machine.
4. Connect both the uid sensor wire and the quick release uid line
coupler ensuring that it ‘snaps’ rmly back into its engaged position.
5. It is recommended that following any installation of the bottle a short
test re is carried out to ensure the uid line has been correctly re-
installed and to re-prime the uid feed lines.
