DESCRIPTION

The LT NFXI-ASD 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 NFXI-ASD is the addressable version of the FAAST LT range, 

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

protocol.  It is available in 3 different models:

NFXI-ASD11 -

  Has single channel capability with one laser smoke 

sensor.

NFXI-ASD12 -

  Has single channel capability with two laser smoke 

sensors in a common chamber for coincidence 

detection.

NFXI-ASD22 -

  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 advanced information 

please see the FAAST LT Advanced Setup and Control Guide.

Important Note

Aspirating  Smoke  Detectors  supplied  and  installed  within  the 

EU  must  conform  to  the  EU  Construction  Products  Directive 

(89/106/EEC)  and  the  related  European  Product  Standard  EN 

54-20. FAAST LT 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 CPD Directive.
