Xtralis VESDA VIC-020 Multi-Functional Control Card for VLF-250 (VIC-020)
Gulf Oil & Gas International supplies the genuine Xtralis VESDA VIC-020 (VIC-020) Multi-Functional Control Card for VESDA VLF-250 LaserFOCUS aspirating smoke detection systems to enable advanced relay control and fire panel integration in high-stakes environments like oil & gas facilities, data centers, and manufacturing plants. This field-installable MCC provides 4 programmable Form C relays (each rated 30VDC/2A, 110mA quiescent) for fan, alarm, fault, and auxiliary functions, plus enhanced connectivity options including VESDAnet, remote relays, and Modbus. The VIC-020 supports seamless integration with conventional fire alarm panels, building management systems, and suppression controls through flexible relay programming and status monitoring. Easy installation via VLF detector socket restores full relay functionality without system downtime. The VIC-020 is specifically designed for VESDA VLF-250 detectors used for very early smoke detection in critical infrastructure applications.

Vesda Xtralis VIC-020 Multi-Functional Control Card VLF for VLF-250 & VLF-500
The VESDA VLF MCC (Multi-function Control Card) is an interface card for the range of Xtralis VESDA VLF smoke detectors. An MCC expands the range of input and output communications a VLF detector can perform.
Why use a VLF MCC?
Installing a VLF MCC into a VLF detector provides a cost-effective solution for customers who need enhanced connectivity, fault detection and monitoring, and annunciation of alarms and faults. The principal benefits include:
- Description
Improved FACP connectivity: The VLF is fitted with two (2) alarm relays in its standard form. With an extra two (2) relays, the Multi-function Control Card allows reporting of all four (4) alarm levels on dry relay outputs.
Enhanced annunciation: An MPO (Monitored 24 V Powered Output) is available on the VIC-030 version of the card. The MPO provides power to devices such as sirens or strobes, and monitors the line integrity.
Enhanced control and fault detection: With a VLF MCC installed, a VLF has two (2) General Purpose Inputs (GPIs), allowing, for example, one GPI to report on loss of mains power and the other GPI to be used as a reset input. The VIC-030 version of the card has a self-configuring GPI, depending on the jumper selection for MPO/Relay3.
- If MPO is selected, activation of the GPI will disable the MPO.
- If Relay3 is selected, the GPI will be set to External Fault (e.g. for mains power supply monitoring).
- Key Features
- Provides two (2) additional relays
- Provides an extra General-Purpose Input (GPI) with line monitoring
- Quick and simple to install
- Out-of-the-box operation, with minimal configuration required for extra features
- Diagnostic LEDs give visual indication of the card’s status
- Fully compatible with Xtralis VESDA VLF smoke detector
