Introduction
The XAS-1-US is an aspirating smoke detection system that utilizes an air-sampling pipe network to draw air
towards conventional or analog addressable point detectors installed inside a sealed enclosure.
The single channel XAS-1-US detector enclosure (Figure 1-1) has one pipe inlet and provision for one or two point
detectors allowing for redundant or double-knock detection. The range of supported point detectors is detailed in
Section 2.3.1 on page 11.

Point detectors are wired directly into the Initiating Device Circuit (IDC) or Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which
provides connectivity to the fire alarm control panel for the reporting of alarms or faults originating from a point
detector.
The detector enclosure provides a configurable aspiration system and airflow monitoring. Airflow status is displayed
on a ten element bar graph with adjustments for flow sensitivity and high/low flow thresholds. Flow faults are
indicated on the display interface LEDs, and reported to the fire panel via isolated dry relay contacts.
Note:
The XAS-1-US system has been tested and listed to UL 268 and UL 268A and must be installed in strict
compliance with these instructions to maintain the UL listing.
