Description
The Fike intelligent Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology (FAAST) aspirating smoke detector (P/N 68-140)
combines dual source blue LED and infrared laser optical smoke detection with advanced algorithms to
detect a wide range of fires while maintaining enhanced immunity to nuisance particulates. The detector
continuously draws air from the controlled environment through a series of sampling holes to monitor the
environment for smoke particles. This technology is typically used in early warning and very early warning
applications.
The FAAST detector is fully integrated into Fike’s family of intelligent fire alarm and releasing control systems
and reports just like other Fike devices.
Features:
• Full integration into Fike’s fire alarm and releasing control systems
• Wide sensitivity range: 0.00046 – 6.25 %/ft obscuration
• Five alarm levels and two sensiti vity modes for fl exibility
• Dual fl ow detecti on including both ultrasonic and electronic sensing for pipe and chamber air fl ow
measurement
• A single device protects up to 8,000 square feet
• Advanced detecti on algorithms reject common nuisance conditi ons
• Patented parti cle separator and fi eld-replaceable fi lter removes contaminants from the system
• Soft ware support provides intuiti ve system layout, confi gurati on and monitoring
• Standard onboard ethernet interface enables remote monitoring and e-mail status updates
• Fault indictors exhibit a broad spectrum of events
• Unique air fl ow pendulum graph verifi es pipe network functi onality
