8100(A)

Conventional FAAST Fire Alarm
Aspiration Sensing Technology®

General

The FAAST 8100(A) conventional aspirating smoke detector
combines dual-source (blue LED and infrared laser) optical
smoke detection with advanced algorithms to detect a wide
range of fires while maintaining enhanced immunity to nui­sance particulates. This enables the 8100 to accurately detect
incipient fire conditions as early as 30 to 60 minutes before a
fire actually starts for Early Warning Fire Detection and Very
Early Warning Fire Detection. For initial system creation, the
PipeIQ

® software guides users through pipe layout. The soft-

ware also provides intuitive control over system configuration
and ongoing system monitoring. An installed device can be
monitored through its integral display, from a computer con­nected to the device, or remotely through a computer browser
or mobile device when the detector is connected to a network,
or by Modbus/TCP protocol over Ethernet. When Internet-con­nected, the 8100 can also e-mail status updates to appropriate
personnel. The detector can communicate alarm levels, urgent
and minor faults, and isolate inputs via eight form C relays. To
enable a full detection strategy, the 8100combines its
advanced communications capabilities with an extensive
range of customizable settings. The detector provides five
alarm levels that can be programmed for latching or non-latch­ing relays. To accommodate specific codes or environments,
alarm delays can be set anywhere between 0 to 60 seconds.
The 8100 also supports two sensitivity modes: In Acclimate™
mode, the detector automatically adjusts itself to current envi­ronmental conditions to reduce nuisance alarms. Day/Night/
Weekend mode enables technicians to preset alarm thresh­olds based on routine changes in the environment.

Features

• Detection as precise as 0.00046%/ft obscuration.

• Five alarm levels and two sensitivity modes provide applica­tion flexibility.

• Dual flow detection including both ultrasonic and electronic
sensing for pipe and chamber air flow measurement.

• A single device protects up to 8,000 square feet.

• Advanced detection algorithms reject common nuisance
conditions.

• Patented particle separator and field-replaceable filter
remove contaminants from the system.

• PipeIQ™ software provides intuitive system layout, configu­ration, and monitoring all in one package.

• Using the onboard Ethernet interface, you can monitor the
detector from any Internet browser, smart phone or mobile
device with VPN capability. You can also configure the
detector to e-mail status updates to appropriate personnel.

• Monitoring and configuration can also be accomplished
using Modbus/TCP protocol over Ethernet.

• Fault indicators exhibit a broad spectrum of events.

• Unique air flow pendulum graph verifies pipe network func­tionality.

• Particulate graph displays subtle environmental changes for
early problem indications.

• 5 programmable alarm levels for latching or non-latching as
well as a 0 to 60 second delay to best accommodate local
codes or environments.

DN-60791:A

Conventional Smoke Detector

• At startup 8100 self-adapts to its environment in just 24
hours, not weeks. The exclusive Acclimate mode automati­cally adjusts within your specified parameters to reduce nui­sance alarms and adjust to current conditions.

• Comprehensive, simple and intuitive display has real-time,
quick-read information at the device including five alarm
levels, ten particulate levels, air flow, power and a wide
range of faults to quickly identify the problem for prompt
correction.
