CONNECTING TO FAAST XT
FAAST XT requires a configuration download from PipeIQ in order to initialize.
This connection can be achieved using either the USB port located on the front of
the device, or the Ethernet port located inside the wiring cabinet.
CONNECTING TO FAAST XT VIA USB
NOTE: In order to connect your computer to the FAAST XT using a USB con-
nection, a USB driver must first be installed. The driver installation occurs
during the installation of PipeIQ version 2.0 or later. Once the driver is in-
stalled, connect to the device using the following steps.
1. Launch PipeIQ.
2. Create a new project and select FAAST XT device, or open an existing project
3. Expand the tree view in the left side navigation pane to reveal the device
4. Right click on the device and select ‘Connect Device’
5. Select USB, The USB combo box should already be populated with FAAST
XT (Com Port Number).
6. Select Read only/Administrator(requires password – default is ‘password’)
mode Click Connect.
CONNECTING TO FAAST XT VIA ETHERNET
Default Device IP Configuration
IP Address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
CONFIGURE YOUR PC
Your PC will need to be sitting on the same local area network as the FAAST XT device
in order to establish communication. Change your PC’s IP address to 192.168.1.15 by:
1. Accessing your network setting in your PC’s control panel
2. Open ‘Local Area Connection’ settings and select ‘Properties’
3. Select ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then select ‘Properties’
4. Select ‘Use the following UP address and enter 192.168.1.15. If the
subnet mask does not automatically populate, enter 255.255.255.0
into the subnet mask field.
5. Hit OK and close out of the network menus.
(Important Note: Before changing your PC’s IP address, be sure to take note of
whether your IP is currently dynamically set, or is a static IP address. If your PC
is assigned a static IP address, make note of the IP address and subnet mask so
that you can change back to the proper settings after the FAAST XT is configured.)
CONNECT USING PIPEIQ
1. Launch PipeIQ. (PipeIQ may be downloaded from systemsensor.com/faast)
2. Create and save a new project, or open an existing project
3. Expand the tree view in the left side navigation pane to reveal the device
4. Right click on the device and select ‘Connect Device’
5. Change the User field to ‘Administrator’ and enter the password – the
default password is ‘password’ – then hit ‘Connect’

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
WARNING
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 XT unit is on the 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 XT 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 XT device weight.
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.

CONNECTING THE AIR SAMPLING PIPE
ATTENTION
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 con-
nection.
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 in to 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. Add-
ing as little as 2ft of exhaust pipe also acts as a muffler for the fan – ensuring
quieter operation. The output ports are tapered the same as the input ports, to
provide fast, easy, push-fit connection of an exhaust pipe to the unit. Perform
the following procedure to connect the exhaust 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 con-
nection.
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.
WIRING
WARNING
Before working on the FAAST XT 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 to determine the required wire sizes for each
connection. Use the power ratings of the connected products to determine the
wire size.
CONDUIT USAGE
If electrical conduit is used for system wiring, terminate the conduits at the
cable entry ports on the top or bottom of the unit, using the appropriate con-
duit connectors.
1. Run all wiring, both power and alarm, through the conduit and into
the left side of the unit enclosure, as seen in Figure 3.
2. Attach the appropriate wires to the supplied Euro connector. Follow
appropriate local codes and electrical standards for all cabling.
3. Plug the appropriate connector into the mating connector on the unit.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR TO THE BRACKET
Once the mounting plate is attached, the unit is ready to be mounted on to the
plate. 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 bottom left side of the unit to match the
orientation of the wiring. See Figure 4 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 the mounting stud protruding through the
mounting slot shown in Figure 2.

CABLING REQUIREMENTS
The FAAST XT system provides a series of Euro style pluggable terminals,
located behind the left side door of the unit. Refer to Table 1 for the proper
electrical connections to the unit. Refer to Table 2 for a typical connection for
monitoring the FAAST XT system at a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
TABLE 1. TERMINAL DESIGNATIONS SYSTEM POWERING
The following procedure describes how to initially power up the FAAST XT 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 connec-
tor to the unit. Do not connect the SLC at this point in order to enable
configuration.
5. Connect a computer, with PipeIQ installed, to the unit using either the
USB connection on the front of the device, or the Ethernet port located
in the left side wiring door. (See the ‘Connecting to FAAST XT’ 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 con-
nection is desired.
8. Connect to SLC
9. Verify the system fan starts up and air begins to flow out of the ex-
haust port. The user interface will provide the device status.
10. The device will establish an airflow baseline during the first five min-
utes 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.
