FAAST LT USB Connection
PC connectivity is provided by an on board USB B socket located
in the middle of the FAAST LT unit behind the hinged front cover.
The USB interface allows access to a range of additional options,
via the PipeIQ™ application software (supplied).
Note: To connect, access or change any FAAST LT conguration
parameters, the device must be in Maintenance mode (See
Password Procedure to enter Maintenance mode).
Connecting a PC to a FAAST LT Device for the First Time
Minimum System Requirements
Microsoft Windows 7, 8 or 10 (for 10, PipeIQ™ version 2.5.1 or
higher required), XP - SP3 (not recommended).
1 GB of RAM.
Graphics hardware with 128 MB of memory and support for
OpenGL 2.0 or later.

The USB driver will be installed automatically during the PipeIQ™
installation procedure. This should NOT be declined during the
installation process.
Note: It is strongly recommended that some form of training
is taken before using PipeIQ™ (contact your distributor for
information on this). The information provided in this manual is
only a short overview.
Power-On/Initialisation
A FAAST LT device always powers on in the Initialisation state where
internal checks are completed before entering the Normal state.
Normal
In the Normal state the FAAST LT operates as a smoke detector.
The main button actions are not active, apart from the combination
Reset + Disable which shows the fan speed number, and the
Reset button itself providing access to the Password Procedure to
go to the Maintenance state.
Note: For the loop based FAAST LT device, the module address
will only respond to a panel poll when in Normal mode.
Maintenance
When the correct password is entered, a FAAST LT device will
enter the Maintenance state (See Password Procedure for more
information). The front panel buttons are enabled for maintenance
functions and the FAAST LT unit can be linked to a PC. (See
Remote Maintenance state).
A FAAST LT device will automatically time-out of the Maintenance
state after a preset period of inactivity (Default is 5 minutes).
Remote Maintenance
The USB connection can only be used when the FAAST LT
device is in the Remote Maintenance mode. To enter the Remote
Maintenance mode, rst put the device into Maintenance mode,
open the hinged front cover and connect to a PC with a USB cable
(within 5 minutes). In Remote Maintenance mode it is possible to
control, monitor and re-programme the FAAST LT device via the PC
using PipeIQ™ (Version 2.3 and above).
The Remote Maintenance mode does not have a time-out. The
FAAST LT device will return to Maintenance mode when the USB
cable is unplugged and the door is rmly shut. (Note: if the door is
not shut within 5 minutes of removing the USB cable, the unit will
enter Service mode.).
Service Mode
When the FAAST LT device is in Normal, the Service Mode state is
entered automatically when the front cover is opened. The FAAST
LT unit switches off the power to the unit. Once the service action
is complete, and the front cover is closed, the FAAST LT device
restarts automatically.
Power Out Of Range State
If the PSU voltage is out-of-range, the FAAST LT unit will stop
working, switching off the power to the unit and signalling a power
fault and a general fault.
The FAAST LT device remains in this state until it is re-powered or
restarts automatically when the supply voltage returns to within the
correct range.
PASSWORD PROCEDURE (To enter Maintenance Mode)
Press and hold RESET; left hand ow indicator will turn yellow
then green.
Release RESET and FAULT indicator will switch on green. The left
hand ow indicator will blink green indicating the device is ready
for the rst digit.
Press DISABLE to increment the LEDs 1…9; press TEST (tick
button) to select a digit.
The ashing airow segment will turn solid green and the next
segment will begin to ash indicating set the next digit. When the
4th digit is selected, all 4 airow segments are turned off. If the
password is accepted the FAULT indicator will remain green and
the unit enters Maintenance mode. If the password is incorrect
the FAULT indicator ashes yellow and the unit remains in Normal
mode. The Default password in 3111.
If no button is pressed for 10s during the password sequence, the
unit returns to Normal mode. If there is no activity in Maintenance
mode for 5 minutes (default), the fault indicator blinks green for 15s
and then the unit returns to the Normal state.
When the USB cable is plugged into the unit, it switches to Remote
Maintenance mode; the maintenance time-out is disabled.
