FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology from System Sensor the
world leader in smoke detection technology is a highly sensitive aspirating
smoke detector which provides Very Early Warning type smoke detection in
diverse applications ranging from mission critical to harsh environments.
FAAST aspirating smoke detectors use a pipe network and a fan to draw air
from a protected space in to the detection chamber. This pipe network allows for
smoke detection in hard-to-reach or difficult-to-access areas, including areas with
temperature extremes, and allows for ease of testing and maintenance.

FAAST Technology
High Sensitivity
FAASTs highly specialized chamber uses two-light technology to detect
extremely low concentrations of smoke while maintaining a high level of
immunity to non-smoke particulate enabling Very Early Warning type
smoke detection in harsh and difficult environments.
The chamber, which utilizes a blue LED and an infrared laser to analyze
the air sample, has a configurable range of 0.00046% - 6.25%/ft (0.015%
- 20.5%/m) obscuration and has been specifically designed to provide
high sensitivity and stability. This sensitivity range can meet and exceed
the requirements of Very Early Warning smoke detection, making FAAST
highly customizable to meet site-specific requirements.
FAAST provides 5 levels of alarm, allowing for the implementation of
strategic response plans and ample time to address a smoke event before
it escalates into an actual fire and causes damage and downtime.
Easy Communications

them standard on all models:

Nuisance Immunity
FAAST employs three stages of filtration to ensure high sensitivity to smoke
while effectively eliminating nuisance alarms. These filtration methods allow
FAAST to be deployed in harsh, particulate-heavy environments while
maintaining its high sensitivity. FAASTs
filtration includes:
Particle Separator FAASTs particle separator forces a change in direction of
the air flow coming through the device. This change in direction is impossible
for heavier particulate, which would not be associated with products of
combustion, and those heavy particles are immediately
eliminated from the device by bypassing the chamber
and being exhausted via the fan. This particle separator
not only ensures nuisance particles do not enter the
chamber, but it also prolongs the life of the replaceable filter
and extends the life of the FAAST unit.
Filter FAAST also utilizes a 30-micron filter, which
is easily accessible from the front of the device for
service and maintenance. This harsh filter protects
the chamber from other non-fire particulate which
may have passed through the particle separator.
The filter is highly monitored and will only issue a service
warning when it needs to be changed not before and lasts
several years in clean environments.
FAAST Applications
Mission Critical
Mission critical applications are defined as anywhere that stands to lose
a substantial amount of revenue or productivity from a single minute of
downtime. Traditionally, these are spaces like server rooms and data
centers, telecommunication facilities, and hi-tech manufacturing. Mission
critical spaces generally create high airflow environments, which cause
smoke to disperse and dilute.
Why FAAST?
High sensitivity up to 0.00046%/ft provides Very Early Warning of
smoke, allowing time to deal with the issue and preserve uptime.
Active detection FAASTs pipe network actively transports air through
its pipe network, ensuring it enters the chamber in high air flow
environments.
Nuisance immunity FAASTs technology provides greater nuisance
immunity, meaning no time lost due to false alarms.
Connectivity FAAST connects directly to many major fire alarm control
panels, and can connect to Modbus BMS systems and IP networks
without any additional hardware or software.
Filter life notification FAASTs filter is intelligently monitored and will give
notification when it must be changed. In clean areas, such as
hi-tech manufacturing, FAASTs filter will last several years.
Extreme Environments
Dirty environments, areas with temperature extremes, condensationprone spaces, and areas that could give rise to an explosive
environment all pose challenges to traditional smoke detection devices.
Often, these environments cannot use smoke detection and rely on
conventional or linear heat detectors instead. FAASTs technology
enables smoke detection, even high sensitivity detection, in a variety of
challenging environments.
Why FAAST?
Aesthetic
Museums, galleries, churches, and historic buildings, as well as high value
homes, often contain valuable content that requires sophisticated smoke
detection systems as well as as system thats visually un-intrusive to the space.
Why FAAST?
Discreet sampling FAASTs pipe network can be placed above the ceiling
with discreet sampling points dropped in to the space. These sampling points,
about 2 inches in diameter, provide nearly invisible smoke detection.
High sensitivity Providing Very Early Warning smoke detection, FAAST is
ideal for areas with valuable contents such as museums and art galleries.
Access Restricted
Restricted-access areas such as prisons or MRI rooms are ideal applications
for FAAST. These areas require easily accessible smoke detection that
provides a high level of information so technicians know exactly how to
address any problem that may arise.
Why FAAST?
Easy to access FAAST pipe network allows the device itself to be mounted
outside of the restricted space for ease of test and maintenance.
Easy troubleshooting FAAST devices are easy to troubleshoot because
of the detailed fault information they provide, all available on the devices
user interface.
Connectivity - All device information is also available through FAASTs many
connectivity options:
Over the internet when IP enabled
- Through a modbus BMS
At the fire alarm panel for intelligent models.

FAAST XT
Aspirating Smoke Detectors
The FAAST XT aspirating smoke detector combines dual source
optical smoke detection with advanced particle separation to provide
highly sensitive smoke detection, even in areas with high levels of
non fire particulate. FAAST XT can cover up to 28,800 sq. ft.
(2,676 sq. m.) through four pipe inlets which are each monitored
by ultrasonics for air flow. The device is highly configurable, with
3 selectable fan speeds, and offers an LCD and USB for ease of
programming and device interaction. FAAST XT is approved for use in
Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D Hazardous Locations.
FAAST
Aspirating Smoke Detectors
FAAST aspirating smoke detectors combine 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 nuisance particulates. This enables FAAST 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. FAAST is approved for use in Class I, Division 2,
Groups A, B, C, and D Hazardous Locations.

FAAST Networking
and Connectivity
The FAAST series of aspirating smoke detectors are
equipped with an onboard Ethernet port for network
connectivity. This interface permits a number of
intriguing remote monitoring possibilities, including
the ability to receive alarm and fault notifications via
email. The detector has been designed to operate with
common network technologies, including Modbus.
