INTRODUCTION

The LT-200 MI-FL20 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 MI-FL20 is the addressable version of the FAAST LT-200 range, 

communicating with the CIE (Fire Panel) via a proprietary loop protocol. 

It is available in 3 different models:

MI-FL2011EI-HS -

 Has single channel capability with one high 

sensitivity smoke sensor.

MI-FL2012EI-HS -

 Has single channel capability with two high sensitivity 

smoke sensors in a common chamber for coincidence detection.

MI-FL2022EI-HS -

 Has two channel capability with two high sensitivity 

smoke sensors in separate chambers. (One sensor for each channel).
This guide provides information for mounting the unit, basic installation 

and advice on pipe layout designs, together with an overview of 

using the PipeIQ software (version 2.9.1 or higher) to achieve EN54 

compliant designs. For more complex designs using increased 

functionality (experienced users only) please see the FAAST LT-200 

Advanced Setup and Control Guide - reference D200-100-01.

Important Note

Aspirating Smoke Detectors supplied and installed within the EU must 

conform to the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) 305/2011 

and the related European Product Standard EN 54-20. FAAST LT-200 

has been tested and certified to ensure that it conforms to the necessary 

Standards, but strict adherence to this instruction guide is advised to 

ensure that the installation meets the requirements of the CPR.
The PipeIQ software (use version 2.9.1 or higher) is a design 

application to help a user create or verify EN54 compliant pipe layouts, 

and to allow configuration of the FAAST LT-200 unit.

Warning

The performance of this system is dependent upon the pipe 

network.  Any extension or modification to the designed installation 

may  cause  improper  operation.  The  operational  effects  of  such 

changes need to be verified using the PipeIQ  design software.

This equipment and all associated pipe work must be installed in 

accordance with all relevant codes and regulations.
