PSA Announces New Vendor Partner

Tuesday, August 30, 2011– VES Fire Detection Systems is proud to announce that their VES Elite product line is now available via PSA Security Network. As a PSA vendor partner, both member companies and distribution customers are able to purchase VES product and become certified on Elite networked systems.

The Elite line of Analog Addressable fire detection systems is competitive with addressable systems of all sizes. Elite is suitable and ranges from small single panel applications to large multi-node networked systems up to 32,000 points. Because the Elite system is based on one flexible and highly capable control panel, everything is streamlined.

Design, installation, programming, commissioning, inspecting and servicing are more straightforward and predictable. VES also offers a unique set of web-based tools for integrators including online systems programming, troubleshooting, and backup.

Andy Johannsen, Director of Sales for VES says: “We are very excited to be the first and only full-line Fire Alarm manufacturer to partner with PSA. We feel that VES is uniquely positioned to provide innovative fire alarm products and a superior level of service and fulfillment to PSA members and customers.”

When asked about the motivation for bringing VES onboard, Bill Bozeman replied: “With VES, PSA is now able to offer a competent and competitive solution to our network of integrators for every major product group to our members and customers. We have been searching a while for the right partner in Fire Alarm and we’re glad to welcome VES.”
