ADVANCED SET-UP AND CONTROL GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The FAAST LT-200 aspirating smoke detector is an advanced
smoke sensing system for use in early warning and very early
warning applications. The system continuously draws air from
the controlled environment through a series of sampling holes to
monitor the environment for smoke particulate. A range of sensing,
operating and output facilities can be congured in the FAAST LT-
200 unit by the end user. This is accomplished by programming
and downloading control parameters from a PC running the
proprietary software application, PipeIQ™. Note: Only PipeIQ™
version 2.9.1 or higher can be used with a FAAST LT-200. Other
versions of PipeIQ will not work with this detector. (See Appendix E
for PipeIQ™ and PipeIQ™ download and set-up details.)
