CONNECTING TO FAAST XT

FAAST XT requires a configuration download from PipeIQ in order to initial-
ize. This connection can be achieved using either the USB port located on the 
front of the device, or the Ethernet port located inside the wiring cabinet.

CONNECTING TO FAAST XT VIA USB

NOTE: In order to connect your computer to the FAAST XT using a USB con-
nection, a USB driver must first be installed. The driver installation occurs 
during the installation of PipeIQ version 2.0 or later. Once the driver is in-
stalled, connect to the device using the following steps.

1.  Launch PipeIQ. (Download from systemsensor.com/faast.)

2.  Create a new project and select FAAST XT device, or open an existing project

3.  Expand the tree view in the left side navigation pane to reveal the device
4.  Right click on the device and select ‘Connect Device’.
5.  Select Host/IP and type in the device’s IP address - default is 192.168.1.10 
6.  Select ‘Admin’ and enter the password – the default password is ‘pass-

word’ – then click ‘Connect’.

XT device in order to establish communication. Change your PC’s IP address to 
192.168.1.15 by:

1.  Accessing your network setting in your PC’s control panel.
2.  Open ‘Local Area Connection’ settings and select ‘Properties’. 

3.  Select ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then select ‘Properties’

4.  Select ‘Use the following UP address and enter 192.168.1.15. If the sub-

subnet mask field.

5.  Click OK, and close out of the network menus.

Important Note:

 Before changing your PC’s IP address, be sure to take note of 

whether your IP is currently dynamically set, or is a static IP address. If your PC 
is assigned a static IP address, make note of the IP address and subnet mask so 
that you can change back to the proper settings after the FAAST XT is configured.

PHYSICAL UNIT INSTALLATION

WARNING

Make sure that there are no pipes or electrical wires within the wall before 
drilling any mounting holes

SECURING THE MOUNTING BRACKET

The typical mounting location for the FAAST XT unit is on the wall. The unit 
is mounted to the wall using the enclosed mounting plate. Figure 1 shows the 
wall mounting plate. For easier access to the FAAST XT unit, it is preferred to 
position the mounting plate in an easily accessible location.

1.  Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and use it 

as a template to locate the necessary mounting holes.

2.  Mark the hole locations and remove the bracket. It is recommended to 

secure the bracket using the 3 outer mounting holes.

3.  Using a drill and the proper size bit for your mounting hardware, drill 

the necessary holes.

4.  Use appropriate fasteners to accommodate the mounting surface and 

FAAST XT device weight.

5.  Secure the bracket to the wall.
