Intelligent FAAST
Fire Alarm Aspiration
Sensing Technology®
Intelligent FAAST aspirating smoke detectors deliver highly
accurate Very Early Warning Fire Detection directly over the
signaling line circuit (SLC) to a fire alarm control panel via
CLIP protocol, enabling maximum control over missioncritical and challenging environments.
Features
• Approved for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C,
and D Hazardous Locations
• SLC connectivity via CLIP Protocol
• Up to 99 FAAST devices per loop
• Detection as precise as 0.00046 %/ft obscuration
• Five alarm levels and two sensitivity modes provide application
flexibility
• Dual flow detection including both ultrasonic and electronic
sensing for pipe and chamber air flow measurement
• A single device protects up to 8,000 square feet
• Advanced detection algorithms reject common nuisance
conditions
• Patented particle separator and field-replaceable filter remove
contaminants from the system
• PipeIQ® software provides intuitive system layout, configuration,
and monitoring all in one package
• Monitoring and configuration via Modbus/TCP protocol
over Ethernet
• Fault indictors exhibit a broad spectrum of events
• Unique air flow pendulum graph verifies pipe network functionality
• Particulate graph displays subtle environmental changes for early
problem indications

The Intelligent FAAST 8251F aspirating smoke detector
combines dual source (blue LED and infrared laser) optical smoke
detection with fire alarm control panel connectivity via CLIP mode to
provide high sensitivity to fire with intelligent reporting capabilities;
all while providing enhanced immunity to nuisance particulate. As
a result, FAAST can provide Early Warning and Very Early Warning
Fire Detection while seamlessly integrating with an existing fire
signalling circuit.
The intelligent FAAST detector can be wired to a new or pre-existing
SLC for communications directly to a fire alarm control panel via
CLIP mode without extra hardware. In CLIP mode, the 8251F FAAST
will report back to the fire alarm control panel as an ACCLIMATE™
detector. By setting sensitivity levels in PipeIQ equivalent to prealarm and alarm sensitivity settings in the panel, the fire alarm
control panel will initiate pre-alarm (if pre-alarm exists in the panel)
and alarm conditions based on feedback from the FAAST unit.
Using CLIP, up to 99 units can populate one SLC.
For initial system creation, FAAST’s design, configuration, and
monitoring software, PipeIQ*, guides users through pipe layout. An
installed device can be monitored through its integral display, from
a computer connected to the device, or remotely through a web
browser. When Internet-connected, FAAST can also e-mail status
updates to appropriate personnel.
*A complimentary download of PipeIQ is available at systemsensor.com/faast.
