USER INTERFACE CARD INSTALLATION
The user interface card must be installed on the front panel of the FAAST
aspirating smoke detection system. For installation, first slide the card into
the bottom pocket, then beneath each of the mounting tabs. If necessary,
use a flathead screwdriver to gently press the card in place beneath each of
the mounting tabs. The card is moderately flexible to allow for some bending
during installation. The user interface card is available in various languages.
PARTICULATE LEVEL DISPLAY
The particulate level display, shown in Figure 5, consists of ten amber LEDs
that correspond to the current level of the particulate detected. The LEDs illuminate in order from Level 1 to Level 10, starting from the bottom of the
display and moving up as the particulate level increases. Each LED represents
a ten percent increase in the particulate level necessary to reach the user programmable level.
FIGURE 5. PARTICULATE LEVEL DISPLAY
These alarm levels are configured at default levels when shipped. Each of these
alarm levels can control a set of form C relay contacts. When an alarm level threshold is crossed, the corresponding level LED illuminates and the relay activates a
signal. These alarm levels and associated relay outputs can be programmed for
either latching or non-latching operation, in addition to a programmable delay for
each level. The programmable ranges for each level are shown in Table 3.
FIGURE 6. ALARM LEVEL DISPLAY
ASP-10
AIR FLOW/FAULT DISPLAY
The FAAST system uses ultrasonic airflow sensing and displays the status in
real time on the User Interface. The air flow/fault display consists of 10-bicolor LEDs and operates in one of two modes. A default warning occurs when
airflow increases or decreases by 20% or greater. The green segments indicate
how close the current air flow is to either of these thresholds. During normal
operation two adjacent indicators are green and correspond to the current airflow entering the detector. When airflow is at a balanced level the two green
segments are centered on the graph at levels 5 and 6, see Figure 7. As airflow rises and falls, the green segments move right and left accordingly. The
segment on the far left represents a decrease in airflow of 20%. Conversely,
movement to the segment on the far right represents an airflow increase of
20%. A flow fault occurs within 3 minutes of reaching either of these levels
and the minor fault relay is indicated. During a fault condition, the fault LED
as well as the corresponding high or low fault segment is lit in amber.
Labels
Detector faults are labeled adjacent to the indicators on the Air Flow Fault graph.

USER INTERFACE BUTTONS
The user interface has three buttons, shown in Figure 8, that are used to operate the unit. Functionality of these buttons are locked out by default from
the factory and require a passcode to enable them (refer to Passcode Access
section). The passcode can be programmed from the PipeIQ software tool.
ASP-09
FIGURE 8. USER INTERFACE BUTTONS
ALARM LEVEL DISPLAY
The Alarm Level Display consists of five red LEDs that correspond to the current alarm level, shown in Figure 6. These LEDs are located directly above the
Particulate Level LEDs. They illuminate sequentially upward as the severity of the
ASP11-01
alarm increases.

MODES OF OPERATION
INITIALIZATION
(Refer to the Configuration section below for further instructions). Once configuration has started, the device performs an automatic initialization. This
initialization sets the air flow baseline, the filter clogged baseline and the particulate level baseline. It is important that the system is connected properly
and the filter is installed correctly when the device is initialized. These initial
readings are used as a reference baseline to indicate when a fault occurs. Innitialization may take up to five minutes to complete.
STARTUP
Once powered, the FAAST system initializes using its stored configuration.
The device checks and establishes its initial airflow, filter and fan settings.
If all measurements are normal it begins normal operation. If any fault is detected the appropriate fault LED will illuminate.
CONFIGURATION
The FAAST system is configured using the PipeIQ software (available at www.
systemsensor.com/faast). Data is sent via the built-in Ethernet connection.
The device receives the configuration and performs a validation before the
configuration becomes active. After validation of the data, the device performs
an initialization with the new configuration.
ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
The SLC address for a Clip FAAST unit is set using the PipeIQ software. Each
unit consumes one SLC address.
To assign the device a SLC address, navigate to the ‘Network’ tab in the ‘Configuration’ portion of your PipeIQ project. Use the ‘Identification Number’
drop box at the top of the page to assign the Clip FAAST an address of 1
through 99. Each SLC loop can support a maximum of 99 Clip FAAST devices.
Failure of Configuration Validation
If configuration validation fails, the software configuration tool indicates a
failure and the FAAST system illuminates the amber CONFIGURATION fault
LED on the user interface. The device will not accept any of the data as valid.
If a configuration fault occurs during the initial configuration or the device is
unable to operate due to the configuration, the device must be re-configured
using PipeIQ. If the configuration fault occurs after the initial configuration
has been accepted, a Minor Fault relay will be set and the device reverts back
to its last valid configuration.
Power or Network Loss during Configuration of E-mail
During an upload of configuration data, the FAAST system keeps the last
known valid configuration in memory until a complete validation is completed on the new configuration data. This prevents data corruption in the
event of a power loss or network failure. When power is restored the device
performs a Startup with the last valid configuration. The device also indicates
a CONFIGURATION fault on the user interface. This occurs only once. When
the next Reset or Power On Reset is performed the device continues to use the
last valid configuration.
NORMAL MODE
In Normal operating mode the FAAST system displays the air flow and current
particulate levels on the user interface. The particulate level is compared to
the threshold levels programmed into the device and activates the appropriate
alarm as particulate levels exceed that threshold. If any fault occurs it activates the corresponding fault LED and relay.
TEST MODE
Test mode is initiated through the FACP or by depressing the TEST button on
the user interface, when the button is enabled (refer to passcode access section for activation details).
ACCLIMATE
The FAAST system includes an available Acclimate mode. By allowing the device to operate in Acclimate mode, a device’s susceptibility to nuisance alarms
can be reduced. This provides maximum protection for a device located in
changing environments. The sensitivity of the unit continuously adjusts over
time, within the set limits as the local environment changes. Acclimate mode
must be activated and configured using PipeIQ. In Acclimate mode the device automatically adjusts the alarm point between a specified minimum and
maximum sensitivity, programmed by the user. For the first 24 hours of operation the device monitors its environment. After the initial 24 hour period, the
device adjusts the alarm point based on the particulate levels over a rolling
1 hour period. It then adjusts the alarm level starting from the insensitive
boundary, based on the stability of the environment being monitored.
Setting Acclimate mode
The user chooses the boundaries for each alarm level in the Acclimate mode.
The FAAST system starts from the insensitive boundary and adjusts itself to
stay within the sensitive boundary.
ISOLATE
Isolation mode is initiated by pressing and releasing the ISOLATE button on
the user interface when the button is enabled (refer to the passcode section).
When the ISOLATE button is activated the FAAST system resets the fault and
alarm relays. It then sets the isolation relay and the isolation fault indicator
illuminates on the user interface. In this mode the device operates normally
but will not activate relays for any alarm or fault levels (except the Isolation
relay). Fire and fault events can still be seen on the user interface and the
web server will send e-mail notification of events if enabled. Isolation mode
will be held through resets and power outages. The device will remain in
isolation mode until the isolation mode is removed by pressing the ISOLATE
button. ISOLATE mode may be enabled and disabled using the monitoring
portion of PipeIQ.
DISABLE
Disable mode is initiated by pressing and holding the ISOLATE button on the
user interface for 3 seconds when the button is enabled (refer to the passcode
section). When the ISOLATE button is activated, the FAAST system resets the
fault and alarm relays. It then sets the isolation relay and the isolation fault
indicator illuminates on the user interface. In this mode the fan switches off
and the device does not report any alarm or fault levels on the user interface
or activate any relays (except the Isolation Relay). This mode should only
be used when the system needs to be taken offline. This mode will be held
through resets and power outages. The device will remain in disable mode
until the disable mode is removed by pressing the ISOLATE button. Disable
mode cannot be enabled or disabled using the monitoring portion of PipeIQ.
SS-600-000 6 I56-3904-001
USER BUTTON ALTERNATE FUNCTIONS
Passcode Access
The user interface has an option that requires users to enter a security code
before the front panel functions become active. All passcodes must be 4 digits
in length using numbers 1 through 9 (zero cannot be used). Passcodes may
only be changed through the device specific page. In addition, the configuration software tool is capable of locking out buttons individually, so that certain buttons may be accessed without a passcode, if desired.
The default passcode is ‘1111’.
The TEST button enters digits, the MODE button is used to enter the unlock
mode and the ISOLATE button increments the current digit.
FIGURE 9. PASSCODE ACCESS BUTTONS
ASP11-01
To enter the passcode mode, press and hold the MODE button for 8 seconds.
The first segment on the flow indicator first illuminates yellow, then green.
When the segment illuminates green, release the MODE button. The first segment on the airflow display blinks green, indicating the device is ready to
accept the first digit.
To enter the passcode, use the ISOLATE and TEST buttons, shown in Figure 9.
The ISOLATE button is used to increment the current digit. As the current digit
is incremented the segments of the Particulate Bar Graph illuminate accordingly. To complete entry of the digit, press the TEST button. As each digit is
entered the airflow segment illuminates solid green and the next segment begins to flash, indicating the next digit is ready to be entered. After the 4th digit
is entered, the fault indicator illuminates green, if the passcode was accepted
and remains green as long as the detector is “unlocked”. If the passcode was
not accepted, the fault indicator illuminates amber for 3 seconds then the
device returns to its previous state.
Once the passcode is accepted, the locked out button(s) become active. After
45 seconds of inactivity the fault indicator begins to blink green. After an additional 15 seconds the detector re-locks the button(s) and returns to normal
operation.
FIGURE 10. ADDRESS BLINK MODE
in Figure 11. The example shown in Figure 11 shows that the 5th number of the
IP address is 6. The current digit displayed is indicated by the FAULT, FLOW /
FAULT and VOLTAGE indicators (figure 12) starting with the FAULT for the 1st
digit, progressing through the HIGH FLOW, and ending with the LOW VOLTAGE
for the 12th digit. If one of the numbers is zero, then no lights will illuminate for that
number on the particulate graph. The device will return to normal operating mode.

Address Blink Mode
The Clip FAAST can output its’ 3 digit address through the user interface. This
can be accessed from the user interface by pressing and holding the MODE
button for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds the first segment on the airflow display
will turn amber indicating the device is in address blink mode. Release the
MODE button and The device will give the 3 digit address by lighting the
particulate bar graph the appropriate number of segments for each digit. The
current digit displayed is indicated by the 6 left most indicators on the air flow
graph. The first 3 segments will be the loop.
IP Address Blink Mode
If the device IP has been lost or is unavailable, it’s possible to obtain the address
using the IP address blink mode. The IP address can be accessed from the user
interface by pressing and holding the MODE button for 30 seconds. The digits are
displayed using the same method described in the address blink mode, except
that the FAULT and LOW VOLTAGE indicators are used to show the 1st and 12th
digit, respectively. The device gives the 12 digit number by illuminating the particulate bar graph to the appropriate number of segments for each digit, as shown

FAAST system to maintain the date and time for up to 72 hours after a loss
of power. Date and time are configured through PipeIQ. The real-time clock
is used to maintain a time base for the device. This time base is used to time
stamp all log entries. If the device loses power for more than 72 hours the
device sets the TIME fault indicating the time needs to be updated.
LOGS
Event Log
The FAAST system is equipped with internal memory that can be configured
to log detector events. Up to 18,000 events can be stored. Events that are
tracked include alarms, faults and user actions. Event tracking data may be
accessed via the network through the PipeIQ software or the Web server interface. Configuration and management of the log are done using the PipeIQ
software.
Data Trend Log
The FAAST system tracks trend data for each 24 hour time period, up to 1
year. The device records the minimum, maximum and average reading of the
sensor for each day.
Message Log
The message log allows the user to enter generic text messages into the system’s memory. Messages may be retrieved for viewing at a later time. These
messages may be used to track service history, configuration changes, etc. A
maximum of 300 messages may be stored.
ETHERNET CONNECTION
The FAAST system is a network capable device that is compatible with standard
Ethernet networking equipment. Connectivity is provided by an onboard RJ-45
connector located on the bottom of the unit, as shown in Figure 14. Once initial
setup is complete, the Ethernet connection provides optional remote access, monitoring and e-mail notification through the unit’s Web server and SMTP client.
PIPE NETWORK
The unit can monitor up to 8,000 sq.ft. (approx. 743 sq. m) with a properly
designed pipe network. The pipe network must be properly configured using
the PipeIQ software. The pipe network accommodates a maximum single pipe
length of 262 ft. (80 m). If two branches are used, the maximum single pipe
length is 165 ft. (50 m). The device is capable of both metric 25 mm and IPS
1.05 in. pipe outside diameters without the use of an adaptor. The internal
pipe diameter can range from .591-.827 inches (15-21mm). Only 1 inlet and 1
outlet pipe are used at a time. Pipe networks may be constructed of various
materials such as ABS, cPVC, PVC, copper or stainless steel pipe. Travel time
from the furthest hole depends on the application of the device, but is limited
to a maximum of 120 seconds by the PipeIQ software. Refer to local agency
requirements and PipeIQ software for proper configuration.

WEB SERVER
The FAAST system contains an integrated Web server which is used to observe detector configuration and may be used to remotely monitor the unit.
The Web server features include:
• Intuitive interface for remote monitoring of faults, relays, particulate
level, air flow, and power supply
• Facility location and contact information
• Configuration settings display
• Event log viewer
E-MAIL NOTIFICATION
The FAAST system has the ability to send e-mail notifications to an individual
or organization. Up to 6 different email addresses may be stored for notification. Each email address can be configured to be notified of a specific alarm
level, fault level or isolate condition through the PipeIQ software. E-mails from
the device indicate a device’s ID, location and alarm or fault type. A comprehensive networking guide may be downloaded at systemsensor.com/faast.
CANNED SMOKE TESTING
