E N G L I S H FIRE ALARM ASPIRATION SENSING TECHNOLOGY QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE STAND-ALONE FAAST LT MODELS FL0E FL0E FL0E mm mm 0 mm DESCRIPTION The LT FL0 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 FL0 is the stand-alone version of the FAAST LT range and is available in different models: FL0E - Has single channel capability with one laser smoke sensor. FL0E - Has single channel capability with two laser smoke sensors in a common chamber for coincidence detection. FL0E - Has two channel capability with two laser smoke sensors in separate chambers. (One sensor for each channel). This guide provides information for mounting and basic installation using the unit s default factory settings. For more extensive information please see the FAAST LT Advanced Setup and Control Guide - reference D00-00-00. SPECIFICATIONS Electrical Characteristics Voltage Range:. -.

Connect a suitable VDC supply (complying with European Standard EN -) to pins and on terminal block T (See Table ). Check the voltage at the connector. Make sure it is within the required voltage range.. If the voltage is within the specified range, connect the power connector to the unit.. Close and secure the housing door; verify the fan starts up and air flows out of the exhaust port. The unit takes - 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 PipeIQLT 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 T). A short circuit connection between these terminals will cause the FAAST LT unit to perform a reset. D00-0-00 I--0

If no button is pressed for 0s during the password sequence, the unit returns to Normal mode. If there is no activity in Maintenance mode for minutes (default), the indicator blinks green for s and then the unit returns to the Normal state. TESTING Magnet Test The alarm signalling can be tested for functionality by placing a test magnet in the position shown in Figure (displayed earlier in the guide). 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 dependant on the installation but 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 0s should be used standard aerosol sprays for point detector testing do not work well on aspirated systems. 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 CIE (Fire Panel). SERVICE WARNING 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 Opening the cabinet door during normal operation will cause the unit to enter Service Mode. The LEDs will blink, the unit will switch off power to the fans and the fault relay will indicate a fault. When the cabinet door is closed, the unit restarts automatically. Filters Periodic cleaning or replacement of the filters will be required. The filters are located inside the cabinet at the top of the unit (see Figure displayed earlier in the guide) and are removed as shown in the sequence below: F i lters Either replace the filter assembly or carefully brush off the accumulated dust. Refit the filter, close and secure the cabinet door. The unit will initialise and re FOAM GASKET D00-0-00 I--0 Pittway Tecnologica S.r.l. Via Caboto /, TRIESTE, Italy
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. Smoke Sensors The smoke sensors are located under the sensor cover (see Figure displayed earlier in the guide). To access the sensors, follow the sequence below: PipeIQ LT QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS Overview of PipeIQLT The PipeIQLT software program is a convenient and powerful Windows based application that can be used to quickly and accurately design pipe networks, generate configuration parameters for correct set-up and operation, and facilitate commissioning and monitoring of the performance of FAAST LT Aspiration devices. PipeIQLT provides a graphical interface on a PC to: Develop and verify the performance of pipe network solutions. Configure the design parameters to suit local fire codes and standards. Generate Pipe Layouts, BoMs, Configuration and Event Log Reports. Control, Test and Monitor FAAST LT devices. There is a comprehensive Help Menu to guide the user through the different windows and options. The contents have a detailed index and a versatile search facility to locate relevant topics. Minimum System Requirements Microsoft Windows XP SP or Windows GB of RAM. Graphics hardware with MB of memory and support for OpenGL.0 or later. GB of free hard disc space Installing PipeIQLT PipeIQLT is supplied on a mass storage device with each FAAST LT unit, or it can be accessed as a download from www. systemsensoreurope.com. To install from the mass storage device Insert and view the removable storage device. Click on PipeIQLT Setup: Do NOT interchange the devices and do NOT alter the rotary address switch settings on the sensors. If replacing a sensor, ensure that the address set on the new sensor is the same as on the sensor being replaced. LASER SAFETY INFORMATION The detector contains a Class laser product. Radiation emitted inside the smoke sensor is completely contained within its housings and protective covers during all phases of operation. USB CONNECTION PC connectivity is provided by an on board USB B socket located centrally between the filter and the sensor (see Figure displayed earlier in the guide). The USB interface allows access to a range of additional options, via the PipeIQLT application software, when connected to a PC. The USB connecting cable should be removed during normal operation. Click OK and follow the instructions (see: PipeIQLT Setup and Installation Wizard section below). To install from the website Click on the link to PipeIQLT at www.systemsensoreurope.com. Click on PipeIQLT download. The download security warning will appear. Select Save, then click OK. When the download completes, click Run to display the above dialog box. Click OK and follow the instructions (see: PipeIQLT Setup and Installation Wizard section below). PipeIQLT Setup and Installation Wizard When the below dialog box appears, click Setup to start the wizard: D00-0-00 I--0
Quitting Exiting the program closes the application completely. To quit the PipeIQLT application, click X in the upper-right corner of the window. Or click Exit from the File menu.
