General

Conventional FAAST Series aspirating smoke detectors deliver highly accurate very early warning fire detection, early warning fire detection, and standard Fire Detection that meets the needs of a variety of environments, including mission-critical facilities like data centers where downtime from smoke or fires can be incredibly costly.

The ability to configure FAAST for standard fire detection allows FAAST to be used in harsh environments where standard spot detectors may be subject to nuisance alarm conditions. As FAAST can be easily tested via a test port within the pipe network it can simplify the testing associated with standard detectors.

The Conventional FAAST Series detectors combine dual source optical smoke detection (blue LED and infrared laser) with advanced algorithms to detect a wide range of fires while maintaining enhanced immunity to nuisance particulates. The combination enables the detectors to accurately detect incipient fire conditions as early as 30 to 60 minutes before a fire actually starts.

Three models are available for use in different size applications. The series consists of FAAST XS, FAAST XM, and FAAST XT; with specific model numbers of 7100X(A), 8100(A), and 9400X(A). The three models can provide standard detection coverage to protect the following areas:

  • 7100X(A) (FAAST XS): Up to 5,000 sq. ft. (464 sq. m) through one pipe.
  • 8100(A) (FAAST XM): Up to 8,000 sq. ft. (743 sq. m) through one pipe.
  • 9400X(A) (FAAST XT): Up 28,800 sq. ft. (2601 sq. m) through one to four pipes.

Conventional FAAST provides Form C relays that connect to input points on any FACP. The detector communicates alarm levels, urgent and minor faults, and isolate inputs via the relays. To enable a full detection strategy, FAAST combines its advanced communications capabilities with an extensive range of customizable settings. Up to five alarm levels 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

Conventional FAAST series detectors offer selectable 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.

Alternate or additional monitoring is supported in several different ways, including: Serial or TCP Modbus, Ethernet over a LAN or a direct connection, or via onboard USB. When connected to a LAN, FAAST series devices email server can provide email event notification to appropriate personnel.

PipeIQ® is intuitive design, configuration, and monitoring software used for all FAAST series devices. The all-in-one program can be used to create a pipe network tailored to meet site specific requirements, configure a FAAST device, and monitor an installed device — including live trending and reading of historic reports.

Features

  • Detection as precise as 0.00029%/ft obscuration.
  • Multiple alarm levels provide application flexibility: five on FAAST XM and FAAST XT, three on FAAST XS.
  • 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. A Conventional FAAST series detector can self-adapt to its environment in 24 hours.
