codes and regulations.
PIPE INSTALLATION
The pipe layout is designed using the PipeIQ software package. To design the
pipe network, refer to the Aspirating Smoke Detector Pipe Installation Guide
(available at www.faast-detection.com). All pipe must be installed in accor-
dance with local and national codes and regulations. The pipe network should
be complete before proceeding with the physical and electrical system instal-
lation.
To maintain compliance with EN54-20, all pipes and accessories used with
FAAST XT must comply to clause 5.7 of EN54-20.
PHYSICAL UNIT INSTALLATION
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 bracket. Figure 1 shows
the wall mounting bracket. For easier access to the FAAST XT unit, it is pre-
ferred to position the mounting bracket 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 se-
cure the bracket using the three mounting holes.
