Description

Aspirating smoke detector providing a highly flexible and cost-effective solution.

FAAST FLEX™ provides consistent detection with minimum nuisance alarms to reduce operational costs enabled by improved detection chamber design.

Features and benefits:

  • Reliable smoke detection for consistent performance and minimum nuisance alarms.
  • Single and dual channel variants with area coverage up to 1600 m² for single channel and 2000 m² for dual channel.
  • Double knock capability (dual channel) for coincidence detection.
  • Pipe length up to 270 m for single channel and 420 m for dual channel allowing extended coverage and convenient detector mounting.
  • Class A, B, C performance allowing: One channel: 5, 15, 32 holes respectively; or two channels: 8, 28, 56 holes respectively.
  • An ultrasonic flow sensing element per chamber for accurate and reliable flow detection.
  • A metallic mesh filter per chamber for optics protection and improved detector longevity.
  • Action, Alarm and Fault relays per channel for connection to fire alarm control panel (FACP) and building management systems (BMS).
  • Simplified and intuitive light emitting diode (LED) user interface for immediate status indication.
  • Pre-engineered pipe networks for hassle-free and expedient design and installation.
  • Two configuration modes: Out-of-box with built in user-friendly configuration and control mechanism for speedy commissioning, or extended for enhanced user experience.
  • Modular design with in-field replaceable chamber, filter and aspirator for ease of service and maintenance.
  • Installation template, different mounting orientations (upright, inverted) and ample wiring room to save time and effort.
  • Suitable for cold storage environments with -40 °C operating temperature.
  • Bluetooth interface with mobile device App for extended configuration options and rapid diagnostics.
  • General Purpose Input (GPI) for remote Reset, Disable, External Fault.
  • Password protected access for secured detector operation, diagnostics and maintenance.
  • IP40 rating for protection against ingress of foreign bodies.
  • Onboard event log up to 2100 events for user actions and smoke trends.
  • EN54-20 Certified.

Power supply unit - VPS-220-E5.

Guidance for specification option:

This is the original unit within the range. Internally is an EN 54-4 certified Power Supply rated to provide a 0.5 A continuous 24 V d.c. supply while also charging the batteries (not supplied) which can be a 7, 12 or uniquely, 14 Ah arrangement. As such the unit can be used with confidence to power, and provide 24 hr standby (plus 0.5 hr in alarm), for the detectors.

Power supply unit - VPS-215-E5.

Guidance for specification option:

This is the budget unit within the range. It is intended as a low-cost unit to supply a single pipe ASD detector which only requires 7 Ah batteries. A simple but elegant construction and no LEDs on the lid keep the cost of the unit to a minimum. The unit can also be inverted where necessary by rotating the lid. The internal charger is EN 54-4 certified and internal LEDs are provided to indicate OK (output healthy) and Fault.

Power supply unit - VPS-250-E5.

Guidance for specification option:

This power supply is capable of powering larger ASD units. It may also be used for installations with multiple detectors and/ or remote displays. The internal charger is EN 54-4 certified to power loads up to 3 A with space and charging capacity for batteries up to 38 Ah. Uniquely, the unit is supplied with the provision to deliver 4 separately fused outputs – recommended when it is used to power multiple detectors or disparate loads.
