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.
