DESCRIPTION
The FAAST LT Series is part of the Fire Alarm
Aspiration Sensing Technology® (FAAST) family.
FAAST is an advanced fire detection system for use
where early warning and very early warning are a
requirement. The system continuously draws air from
the controlled environment through a series of sampling
holes to monitor the environment for smoke particulate.
The FL01 Series is the stand-alone (relay) version of
the FAAST LT range, connected with the Fire Panel or
other monitoring system using clean-contact relays.
The FL01nnE is available in 3 different models each, 6
models total:
FL0111E - has single channel capability with one
laser smoke detector.
FL0112E - has single channel capability with two
laser smoke detectors in a common
chamber for coincidence detection.
FL0122E - has two channel capability with two laser
smoke detectors in separate chambers,
one detector per channel.
This guide provides information for mounting and basic
installation using the unit’s default factory settings.

Setting the Detector Addresses:
Sensor : the Sensor address is
set on rotary decade switches on
the rear of the Laser (7251)
detector. The sensors are located
under the Sensor Cover inside the
unit (see Figure 10). The Smoke
Detector section of Service (refer
to Page 9) shows how to remove
the sensors
Each aspiration channel uses a
Loop Address to report its Status
information to the FAAST
detector. The default Sensor
addresses, generally used with
Stand-Alone ASDs, are:
Channel 1 7251 = 01
Channel 2 7251 = 02
Module:
The Module address is set using
rotary decade address switches
located behind the door - rotate
the wheels to the desired address.
The selected address refers to
Channel 1; on 2 channel units the
device assigns the next (+1)
module address to Channel 2
automatically

POWER UP
Using Default Settings
1. Connect a suitable 24VDC supply (eg Pertronic AUX24V/1.3PSU-BLK) to pins 1 and 2 on Terminal T1 (refer to
Table 2)
2. Check the voltage at the connector. Make sure it is within the required voltage range.
3. If the voltage is within the specified range, connect the power connector to the unit.
4. Close and secure the housing door; verify the fan starts up and air flows out of the exhaust port. The unit takes
1-3 minutes to initialise and stabilise in Normal mode.
Configuring Other Options
To change any of the default options, it will be necessary to connect the detector to a PC/laptop with the PipeIQ
software installed; see USB Connection section later in this guide for more information on this (and the FAAST LT
Advanced Setup and Control Guide).
EXTERNAL RESET
The default setting for the configurable external input is Device Reset (terminal block T8). A short circuit
connection between these terminals will cause the FAAST LT unit to perform a Reset.
FRONT PANEL
The front panel differs depending on which of the 6 x FAAST LT models is being installed - each is shown below.
The following information is displayed:
- Detector Status: Normal, Alarm, Fault or Isolate
- Alarm Level: Pre-Alarm and Alarm - available with FL01nn detectors
- Particulate Levels:; 1-9 - available with FL01nn detectors
Notes: Pre-Alarm and Alarm LEDs (Red) activate when the particulate level reaches the Particulate
Level (1-9) selected in PipeIQ. That is, if Pre-Alarm is selected at Level 2 and Alarm selected at
Level 5, The Red Pre-Alarm LED will activate when the Particulate Level 2 LED (Yellow)
activates and the Red Alarm LED will activate when the Particulate Level 5 LED (Yellow)
activates.
Rarely, if ever, will the particulate level reach Particulate Level 10, before the Alarm activates.

TESTING:
Magnet Test:
The alarm signalling can be tested for functionality by placing a test magnet in the position shown in Figure 10
(refer Page 4). This method does not test the air flow in the pipe-work
Smoke Testing:
The system alarm response can be tested for functionality using smoke. The choice of smoke source is
dependent on the installation but Pertronic industries recommends the use of a Smoke Pen (PN: SMOKEPEN)
In all cases the smoke must be present for the duration of the test.
Smoke pellets or matches can be used close to the sampling point to introduce smoke particulates into the
system. It is recommended that smoke with a particulate life cycle of greater than 120 seconds should be used –
standard aerosol sprays for point detector testing do not work well on aspirated systems and therefore a re not
recommended.
Fault Testing:
Simulate a fault on the detector (for example, block the outlet pipe) and check that a fault is signalled on both the
front panel of the unit and at the Fire Panel.

Isolate the Aspirating Detector from the Fire Alarm system to prevent any unwanted Alarms when opening the
front door of the unit. Make sure all power is removed from the system before removing any covers.
Service Mode:
The device enters SERVICE Mode if the cabinet door is opened during Normal operation. The FILTER LEDs
blink, the unit switches off the power to the fans and the Fault relay indicates a Fault.
When the cabinet door is closed, the unit restarts automatically.
Filters:
Periodic cleaning or replacement of the filters is required.
The filters are located inside the cabinet at the top of the unit (see Figure 10 displayed on Page 4) and are
removed as shown in the following sequence:
Either replace the filter assembly or carefully brush off the accumulated dust.
Note: if replacing the filter, remove the foam gasket from the old filter and place onto the new filter. When placing
the new filter into the slot, ensure that the gasket is correctly aligned.
Refit the filter, close and secure the cabinet door. The unit will initialise and restart.
Laser Smoke Detectors:
The smoke detectors are located under the sensor cover (see Figure 10 displayed on Page 4). To access the
detectors, follow the sequence below:
Do NOT interchange the devices and do NOT alter the rotary address switch settings on the detectors.
If replacing a detector, ensure that the address set on the new detector is the same as on the detector being
replaced.
LASER SAFETY INFORMATION:
The detector contains a Class 1 laser product. Radiation emitted inside the smoke sensor is
completely contained within its housings and protective covers during all phases of operation.

E2. Commissioning and Handover (reference: FIA Code of Practice for ASDs, Issue 3, Feb 2012)
E2a Commission Testing
The Commissioning Tests to be performed depend on the ASD system application but should be carried out only
when the building is in its normal, intended running state. Appropriate commissioning tests should also be
performed after modifications and/or additions to the ASD system.
Commissioning
The commissioning process has several stages which should be performed, recorded and checked as necessary:
•Inspection of Installation –verify conformity to design, definition of system (see section 5) including
mechanical and electrical installation.
•Power Up/Configuration –required checks and configuration
•Commissioning Tests –to include mechanical, functional and performance testing.
•Signalling - to verify the connections between the ASD and other connected systems (e.g. FAP, BMS).
•System Check - to verify the detector settings are appropriate for the site
•System Handover –include relevant documentation and recorded drawings.
E2b Inspection of Installation
Inspect the installation to confirm that it has been designed and installed correctly for the application and
conforms to the design documentation - in particular;
ASD used to replace point-type detectors (Class C) - ensure the installation (particularly Sample Point spacing)
conforms to the relevant standard (e.g. NZS4512:2010) and the ASD Sensitivity/Alarm thresholds are correctly
set to ensure that the sensitivity of individual holes meets the minimum performance requirements for
individual points. Note that this may require reference to the approval compliance notes for the particular ASD
system and should also take into account any potential automatic adjustments of the Sensitivity/Threshold
settings, which may occur after commissioning.
ASD used for high and enhanced sensitivity (Class A/B) - ensure that the installation conforms to the design
specification (eg. if necessary, measure the air velocities in the protected area to ensure that the design
spacing is appropriate.
ASD used as a Primary Sampling System (refer to Table: ‘Sensitivity Class vs Detection Requirements’on
page 26), ensure the pipe and sample points are installed correctly onto the Air Handling Unit (AHU) within the
airflow. If monitoring more than one AHU, it is important to ensure different running speeds do not cause an
unbalanced airflow in the pipe, which may affect ASD performance.
ASD used for other installations (cabinet, duct work or other specialist protection) - confirm that the ASD
system is in accordance with the design.
Perform a thorough inspection of the mechanical and electrical installation - include;
pipe network including correct supports.
clear identification of Sampling Points.
no obstructions to Sampling Points or remote capillaries.
all internal and external electrical wiring has been installed correctly.
power supplies are correctly rated and provide the correct emergency battery standby period.
correct hole position and sizes.
Before the ASD is powered up, it is very important to check that the pipe is clear of any foreign articles eg. swarf,
dust, etc. that will impede or stop the ASD performance.
E2c Power Up/Configuration
It is very important that the ASD manufacturer’s technical documentation is followed during system set-up. If there
is any doubt refer back to the manufacturer for clarification.
The system should be powered up in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Prior to carrying out
any functional and performance tests the ASD equipment should be configured for:
•Fire signal Alarm thresholds and detector sensitivity settings to give required sampling point sensitivity.
•Alarm and Fault delay periods.
•Airflow parameters.
•any other defined parameters.
