SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual is intended as a guide for technicians to install, set up and provide preliminary system checks for the FAAST (Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology) aspirating smoke detection system. Before installing, please
read the Comprehensive Instruction Manual for the FAAST aspiration detection system (available at SystemSensor.com/faast), which provides detailed information on pipe design and system configuration.
The performance of the system depends on the designed pipe network for
the site. Any alteration to the pipe network will alter the performance of
the system and must be verified by a technician. The PipeIQ® design tool
can be used to verify the suitability of any pipe network design and subsequent alterations. The PipeIQ software program can be downloaded from
systemsensor.com/faast.
DESCRIPTION
The FAAST aspirating smoke detection system is an advanced particulate detection system for use in early warning and very early warning applications.
The system continuously draws air from the controlled environment (up to
8,000 sq. ft.) through a series of sampling holes to monitor the environment
for smoke particulate.
FAAST system conditions are displayed at the user interface and at a fire alarm
control panel. System conditions can also be displayed remotely in two ways
through the network interface: integrated Web server or PipeIQ software. The
display provides a clear indication of the system status, particulate levels,
alarm levels, air flow and faults. Additionally, e-mail notification can be sent
upon status changes. These can all be discerned by monitoring the user interface at either the local or remote display.
FEATURES
• Clip intelligent protocol
• Advanced detection using blue LED and IR laser technology
• Monitors up to 8,000 sq. ft. (dependant on local code and ordinances)
• Wide sensitivity range of 0.00046% to 6.25% obs/ft.
• Programmable alarm thresholds and delays
• Six sets of relay contacts
• Advanced dust discrimination for reduced false alarms
• Air filtration
• Particle separation for increased filter life
• Electronic filter life monitoring
• Ultrasonic air flow sensing
• Field service access door

INSTALLATION
This equipment must be installed in accordance with all local and national
codes and regulations.
PIPE INSTALLATION
The pipe layout is designed using the PipeIQ software package. Refer to the
Comprehensive Instruction Manual available at www.systemsensor.com/faast
to design the pipe network. All pipe must be installed in accordance with local and national codes and regulations. The pipe network should be complete
before proceeding with the physical and electrical system installation.
PHYSICAL UNIT INSTALLATION
Make sure that there are no pipes or electrical wires within the wall before
drilling any mounting holes.
Securing the Mounting Bracket
The typical mounting location for the FAAST unit is on a wall. The unit is
mounted to the wall using the enclosed mounting plate. Figure 1 shows the
wall mounting plate. For easier access to the FAAST unit, it is preferred to
position the mounting plate in an easily accessible location.
1. Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and use it as
a template to locate the necessary mounting holes.
2. Mark the hole locations and remove the bracket. It is recommended to
secure the bracket using the 4 outer mounting holes.
3. Using a drill and the proper size bit for your mounting hardware, drill the
necessary holes.
4. Use appropriate fasteners to accommodate the mounting surface and
FAAST device weight.
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.

Mounting the Detector to the Bracket
Po
Once the mounting plate is attached, the unit is ready to be mounted onto the
plate. Perform the following procedure to mount the unit.
1. Before installing the unit onto the bracket, remove the appropriate conduit cap from the top or bottom-left side of the unit to match the orientation of the wiring. See Figure 14 for location of the wiring access plugs.
2. Line up the unit with the four mounting clips and the mounting studs on
the left side.
3. Push the unit down onto the mounting clips and secure it with the supplied washer and nut on at least one of the two mounting studs protruding through the mounting slots shown in Figure 2.

Exhaust Pipe
The device should always be exhausted into the space that it is monitoring.
There are some circumstances when it may be necessary to connect a pipe to
the exhaust port to divert the exhaust away from the location of the unit. The
output ports are tapered the same as the input ports, to provide fast, easy,
push-fit connection of an exhaust pipe to the unit. Perform the following procedure to connect the exhaust pipe to the unit.
1. Square off and de-burr the end of the exhaust pipe. Ensure that the pipe
is free from any particles that might interfere with the pipe connection.
2. Remove the exhaust plug from the output port being used (either the top
or bottom of the unit).
3. Insert the exhaust pipe into the output port, ensuring a snug fit. DO NOT
glue these pipes.
WIRING
WARNING
Before working on the FAAST system, notify all required authorities that the
system will be temporarily out of service. Make sure all power is removed
from the system before opening the unit. All wiring must be in accordance
with local codes.
Power Cables
Use the power ratings of the unit to determine the required wire sizes for each
connection. Use the power ratings of the connected products to determine
proper wire size.
Conduit Usage
If electrical conduit is used for system wiring, terminate the conduits at the cable
entry ports on the top or bottom of the unit, using the appropriate conduit connectors.
1. Run all wiring, both power and alarm, through the conduit and into the
left side of the unit enclosure, as shown in Figure 3.
2. Attach the appropriate wires to the supplied Euro connector. Follow appropriate local codes and electrical standards for all cabling.
3. Plug the appropriate connector into the mating connector on the unit.

Connecting the Air Sampling Pipe
The input and output ports are designed to accept standard one inch pipe (25
mm) OD. The input ports are tapered to provide fast, easy, push-fit connection
of the sampling pipe to the unit. Perform the following procedure to connect
the air sampling pipe to the unit.
1. Square off and de-burr the end of the sampling air pipe. Ensure that the pipe
is free from any particles that might interfere with the pipe connection.
2. Remove the input plug from the input port being used (either the top or
bottom of the unit).
3. Insert the sampling air pipe into the input port, ensuring a snug fit.
DO NOT glue these pipes.

CABLING REQUIREMENTS
The FAAST system provides a series of Euro style pluggable terminals, located
behind the left side door of the unit.
Refer to Table 1 for the proper electrical connections to the unit. Refer to Table
2 for a typical connection for monitoring the FAAST system at a Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP).
