DESCRIPTION
The LT NFXI-ASD Series is part of the Fire Alarm Aspiration 
Sensing Technology
®
 (FAAST) family.  FAAST is an advanced 
re detection system for use where early warning and very early 
warning  are  a  requirement.  The  system  continuously  draws  air 
from the controlled environment through a series of sampling holes 
to monitor the environment for smoke particulate.
The NFXI-ASD is the addressable version of the FAAST LT range, 
communicating  with  the  CIE  (Fire  Panel)  via  a  proprietary  loop 
protocol.  It is available in 3 different models:
NFXI-ASD11 - Has single channel capability with one laser smoke 
sensor.
NFXI-ASD12 -  Has single channel capability with two laser smoke 
sensors in a common chamber for coincidence 
detection.
NFXI-ASD22 -  Has two channel capability with two laser smoke 
sensors in separate chambers. (one sensor for 
each channel).
This  guide  provides  information  for  mounting  and  basic  installation 
using the unit’s default factory settings.  For more advanced information 
please see the FAAST LT Advanced Setup and Control Guide.

Important Note
Aspirating  Smoke  Detectors  supplied  and  installed  within  the 
EU  must  conform  to  the  EU  Construction  Products  Regulation 
(CPR) 305/2011 and the related European Product Standard EN 
54-20. FAAST LT has been tested and certied to ensure that it 
conforms to the necessary Standards, but strict adherence to this 
instruction guide is  advised  to ensure that the installation  meets 
the requirements of the CPR.
