Conventional FAAST Fire Alarm
Aspiration Sensing Technology®
Conventional Smoke Detector
DN-60791:A
General
The FAAST 8100(A) conventional aspirating smoke detector
combines dual-source (blue LED and infrared laser) optical
smoke detection with advanced algorithms to detect a wide
range of fires while maintaining enhanced immunity to nui-
sance particulates. This enables the 8100 to accurately detect
incipient fire conditions as early as 30 to 60 minutes before a
fire actually starts for Early Warning Fire Detection and Very
Early Warning Fire Detection. For initial system creation, the
PipeIQ ® software guides users through pipe layout. The soft-
ware also provides intuitive control over system configuration
and ongoing system monitoring. An installed device can be
monitored through its integral display, from a computer con-
nected to the device, or remotely through a computer browser
or mobile device when the detector is connected to a network,
or by Modbus/TCP protocol over Ethernet. When Internet-con-
nected, the 8100 can also e-mail status updates to appropriate
personnel. The detector can communicate alarm levels, urgent
and minor faults, and isolate inputs via eight form C relays. To
enable a full detection strategy, the 8100combines its
advanced communications capabilities with an extensive
range of customizable settings. The detector provides five
alarm levels that can be programmed for latching or non-latch-
ing relays. To accommodate specific codes or environments,
alarm delays can be set anywhere between 0 to 60 seconds.
The 8100 also supports two sensitivity modes: In Acclimate™
mode, the detector automatically adjusts itself to current envi-
ronmental conditions to reduce nuisance alarms. Day/Night/
Weekend mode enables technicians to preset alarm thresh-
olds based on routine changes in the environment.
Features
• Detection as precise as 0.00046%/ft obscuration.
• Five alarm levels and two sensitivity modes provide applica-
tion 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, configu-
ration, and monitoring all in one package.
• Using the onboard Ethernet interface, you can monitor the
detector from any Internet browser, smart phone or mobile
device with VPN capability. You can also configure the
detector to e-mail status updates to appropriate personnel.
• Monitoring and configuration can also be accomplished
using Modbus/TCP protocol over Ethernet.
• Fault indicators exhibit a broad spectrum of events.
• Unique air flow pendulum graph verifies pipe network func-
tionality.
• Particulate graph displays subtle environmental changes for
early problem indications.
• 5 programmable alarm levels for latching or non-latching as
well as a 0 to 60 second delay to best accommodate local
codes or environments.
• At startup 8100 self-adapts to its environment in just 24
hours, not weeks. The exclusive Acclimate mode automati-
cally adjusts within your specified parameters to reduce nui-
sance alarms and adjust to current conditions.
• Comprehensive, simple and intuitive display has real-time,
quick-read information at the device including five alarm
levels, ten particulate levels, air flow, power and a wide
range of faults to quickly identify the problem for prompt
correction.
