INTRODUCTION

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 Technol-
ogy) aspirating smoke detection system. Before installing, please read the Compre-
hensive Instruction Manual for the FAAST aspiration detection system (available
at faast-detection.com), 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 is available from your distributor or can be downloaded from
faast-detection.com.

DESCRIPTION

The 8100 FAAST aspirating smoke detection system is an advanced particulate de-
tection system for use in early warning and very early warning applications.
The system continuously draws air from the controlled environment (up to 2000m
depending on local regulations) 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 via relays. 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 determined by monitoring the user interface at either the
local or remote display.

WARNING

PIPE INSTALLATION

The pipe layout is designed using the PipeIQ software package. Refer to the Com-
prehensive Instruction Manual that comes with the PipeIQ software package to de-
sign the pipe network. All pipe must be installed in accordance with relevant 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

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.
