Intelligent FAAST® Series Detectors
Intelligent/Addressable Devices

General
Intelligent FAAST® Series aspirating smoke detectors deliver
highly accurate very early warning fire detection, early warning
fire detection, and standard Fire Detection that meets the needs
of a variety of environments, including mission-critical facilities
like data centers where downtime from smoke or fires can be
incredibly costly.
The ability to configure FAAST for standard fire detection allows
FAAST to be used in harsh environments where standard spot
detectors may be subject to nuisance alarm conditions. As
FAAST can be easily tested via a test port within the pipe net-
work it can simplify the testing associated with standard detec-
tors.
The Intelligent FAAST® Series detectors combine dual-source
optical smoke detection (blue LED and infrared laser) with
advanced algorithms to detect a wide range of fires while Intelligent FAAST® Series Detectors
maintaining enhanced immunity to nuisance particulates. The
combination enables the detectors to accurately detect incipi- site specific requirements, configure a FAAST device, and
