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 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 XS unit is on the wall. The unit is
mounted to the wall using the enclosed mounting bracket. Figure 1 shows the
wall mounting bracket. For easier access to the FAAST XS unit, it is preferred
to position the mounting bracket in an easily accessible location.
1. Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and use
2. Mark the hole locations and remove the bracket. It is recommended to
3. Using a drill and the proper size bit for your mounting hardware, drill
4. Use appropriate fasteners to accommodate the mounting surface and
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR TO THE BRACKET
Once the mounting bracket is attached, the unit is ready to be secured onto
the bracket. Perform the following procedure to mount the unit.
1. Before installing the unit onto the bracket, remove the appropriate
conduit caps from the top or left side of the unit to match the orientation of the wiring.
2. Align the unit with the three mounting clips and the mounting stud
on the left side. Locate the conduit openings around the wiring access
door.
3. Push the unit down onto the mounting clips and secure it with the
supplied washer and nut on the mounting stud protruding through the
mounting slot shown in Figure 1.

Detailed pipe network information and best practices can be found in the
Pipe Installation Guide, available for download at systemsensor.com/faast
The input and output ports are designed to accept nominal one inch pipe
(25mm). The input and output ports are tapered to provide fast, easy, pushfit
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 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. Inset the air sampling pipe into the port, ensuring a snug fit. DO NOT
glue these pipes.
EXHAUST PIPE
The device should always be exhausted into the space that it is monitoring.
There are some circumstances where it may be necessary to connect a pipe
to the exhaust port to divert the exhaust away from the location of the unit.
Adding as little as 2ft of exhaust pipe also acts as a muffler for the fan – ensuring quieter operation. 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 plug from the exhaust port being used (either the top or
bottom of the unit).
3. Inset the air exhaust pipe into the port, ensuring a snug fit. DO NOT
glue these pipes.
WIRING
Before working on the FAAST XS 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 and any other connected products to determine the required wire sizes for each connection.
CONDUIT USAGE
If electrical conduit has been used for system wiring, terminate the conduits
at the cable entry ports on the top 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.
2. Attach the appropriate wires to the supplied Euro connectors. Follow
appropriate local codes and electrical standards for all cabling.
3. Plug the appropriate connector into the mating connector on the unit.
Refer to Table 1.

SYSTEM POWERING
The following procedure describes how to initially power up the FAAST XS system.
1. Unplug the unit’s power connector to the unit before turning on the
power.
2. Turn on the power.
3. Check the voltage at the connector. Make sure it is within the required
voltage range.
4. If the voltage is within the proper range, reconnect the power connector to the unit.
5. Connect a computer, with PipeIQ installed, to the unit using either the
USB connection, or the Ethernet port located inside the wiring cabinet.
(See the ‘Connecting to FAAST XS’ for detailed connection instructions.)
6. Use the PipeIQ software to set up the unit configuration required for
the particular application.
7. The PC may now be disconnected unless a permanent networked connection is desired.
8. Verify the system fan starts up and air begins to flow out of the exhaust port. The user interface will provide the device status.
9. The device will establish an airflow baseline during the first five minutes of operation. After five minutes, the airflow level display will
provide the true measured airflow status. The device will give visual
indication of the baselining period on the LCD screen.
