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. Insert the air sampling pipe into the port, ensuring a snug fit.
DO NOT glue these pipes.
WIRING
WARNING
Before working on the FAAST system, notify all required authorities that the
system will be temporarily out of service. Make sure all power is removed
from the system before opening the unit. All wiring must be in accordance
with local codes.
POWER CABLES
Use the power ratings of the unit to determine the required wire sizes for each
connection. Use the power ratings of the connected products to determine the
wire size.
CONDUIT USAGE
If electrical conduit is used for system wiring, terminate the conduits at the
cable entry ports on the top or bottom of the unit, using the appropriate con-
duit connectors.
1. Run all wiring, both power and alarm, through the conduit and into
the left side of the unit enclosure, as seen in Figure 3.
2. Attach the appropriate wires to the supplied Euro connector. Follow
appropriate local codes and electrical standards for all cabling.
3. Plug the appropriate connector into the mating connector on the unit.
