For details on connecting the air return, please see Section 5.6 Air-return pipe, page 72.
For FAS-420-TM planning in these applications, see Section 3.9 Planning for forced airflow,
page 52.
CAUTION!
If the smoke aspiration occurs in a forced airflow (fan, air-conditioning units), direct the air
sampling openings depending on the exhaust speed in the airflow (see Figure 5.4).
