FAAST Testimonials The technology that is utilized to prevent nuisance alarms is impressive Martin C. Smith, SET, President and CEO, Alarm Tech Solutions, LLC There was an actual smoke event on the production floor Smoke had seeped from the production floor into the compressor room next door, where FAAST was installed, creating an alert It didn t initiate in the control room, but it still picked up the early stages of smoke in the area FAAST really did exactly what it was supposed to do. Jamie Colley, President, Integrated Technical Services The FAAST air sampling system worked the first time, and everything flowed really well. John Waldrop, Senior Project Manager, S & S Sprinkler Systems 29 An Intro to FAAST and Aspirating Smoke Detection
FAAST Testimonials We recommended System Sensor s FAAST system for a primary reason: to ensure that the high nuisance dust factor in the storage area does not cause an alarm state. Dan Westberg, VP, Low Voltage Contractors...any situation at the hospital is known instantly with FAAST s unique onboard Ethernet interface monitor.
