Configuration

The FAAST detector has a number of configurable parameters that can be used to control its behavior. Parameters include the smoke

thresholds at which the unit will enter alarm, the latching behavior of the relay outputs, networking and e-mail settings, and more.

These parameters are stored in the device when it is configured. The PipeIQ software provides a means of retrieving, editing, saving,

and sending configuration data.

Retrieval

The current configuration data in a FAAST detector can be retrieved and copied

into a device profile using the PipeIQ software. This is accomplished by right-

clicking on the detector and selecting the Get Remote Configuration command.

The PipeIQ software will confirm the retrieval was successful with the following message.
