INSTALLATION
This equipment must be installed in accordance with all local and national
codes and regulations.
PIPE INSTALLATION
The pipe layout is designed using the PipeIQ software package. Refer to the
Comprehensive Instruction Manual to design the pipe network. All pipe must
be installed in accordance with local and national codes and regulations. The
pipe network should be complete before proceeding with the physical and
electrical system installation.
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 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 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 4 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 device weight.
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR TO THE BRACKET
Once the mounting plate is attached, the unit is ready to be mounted on to the
plate. Perform the following procedure to mount the unit.
1. Before installing the unit onto the bracket, remove the appropriate
conduit caps from the top or bottom left side of the unit to match the
orientation of the wiring. See Figure for location of the wiring access
plugs.
2. Line up the unit with the four mounting clips and the mounting studs
on the left side.
3. Push the unit down onto the mounting clips and secure it with the
supplied washer and nut on at least one of the two mounting studs
protruding through the mounting slots shown in Figure 2.

CONNECTING THE AIR SAMPLING PIPE
ATTENTION
Detailed pipe network information and best practices can be found in the Pipe
Installation Guide, available for download at systemsensor.com/faast
The input and output ports are designed to accept nominal one inch pipe
(25mm). The input and output ports are tapered to provide fast, easy, push-fit
connection of the sampling pipe to the unit. Perform the following procedure
to connect the air sampling pipe to the unit.
1. Square off and de-burr the end of the sampling pipe. Ensure that the
pipe is free from any particles that might interfere with the pipe con-
nection.
2. Remove the input plug from the input port being used (either the top
or bottom of the unit).
3. Inset the air sampling pipe into the port, ensuring a snug fit. DO NOT
glue these pipes.
EXHAUST PIPE
The device must always be exhausted in to the space that it is monitoring.
There are some circumstances where it may be necessary to connect a pipe to
the exhaust port to divert the exhaust away from the location of the unit. Add-
ing as little as 2ft of exhaust pipe also acts as a muffler for the fan – ensuring
quieter operation. The output ports are tapered the same as the input ports, to
provide fast, easy, push-fit connection of an exhaust pipe to the unit. Perform
the following procedure to connect the exhaust pipe to the unit.
