NFPA 72. Note: The XAS-1-US inlet port is tapered to allow a push fit of the sampling pipe. The pipe should be cut squarely to ensure a good, airtight seal. Solvent adhesive should not be used for this joint. Using adhesive on the inlet and outlet port connections will void the warranty of the detector enclosure.
Xtralis XAS-1-US Product Guide Xtralis Pty Ltd Sampling Holes Sampling holes can either be pre-drilled or drilled in situ. Use a low speed drill with a sharp drill bit to prevent debris from entering the pipe. Always blow compressed air through the pipe after drilling to clear any debris before final connection to the equipment.
Figure 3-3: Capillary Tube Exhaust Where the XAS-1-US is located outside the protected area, consideration must be given to returning the exhaust air to the protected environment to balance pressure differences that may exist between the two areas. In the majority of applications, this is not necessary as pressure differences are minimal.
The sampled air is passed through a filter (order code 02-FL53) before entering the detector chamber. Figure 3-5: Inline Filter Additional filtration of sampled air may be required in harsh environments. Refer to the Xtralis Inline Filter Application Note (17785) for further information.
Figure 3-6: Example of an XAS-1-US system with one pipe 3ft ( Figure 3-7: Example of XAS-1-US system with a tee and two pipes Distance from unit to Tee must be at most 1 m and pipes should be balanced, be of equal length and have equal number of holes.

Xtralis Pty Ltd 3.9.1 Open Area Sampling Pipe Network Design The XAS-1-US supports a number of pre-engineered pipe network designs.These designs incorporate suction pressure and transport time considerations. Caution: The performance of this system is dependent upon the pipe network. Any extensions or modifications to the designed installation may cause improper operation.

Xtralis Pty Ltd Xtralis XAS-1-US Product Guide 3.10.2 Duct Pipe Network Installation Rules 1. While not mandatory, it is recommended that when possible locate probes a minimum of six duct widths downstream from bends or inlets. Such locations ensure that air flow is non-turbulent and that smoke is properly mixed with air in the duct for maximum detector/sensor efficiency.
Page 38
Xtralis XAS-1-US Product Guide Xtralis Pty Ltd 8. Do not position the probes next to outside air inlets unless you want to monitor smoke entry to the handling system from an adjacent area. 9. Position the probes upstream of air humidifiers and cooling coils.

6. Test the operation of the system. 7. After successful completion of the test, tighten all the flexible tube connectors until secure. If CPVC pipes are used, bond the pipes together using suitable adhesive. Do not use adhesive on the XAS-1-US inlet and outlet port connections.

Page 44
Xtralis XAS-1-US Product Guide Xtralis Pty Ltd 4.3.3 Flow Sensitivity This setting determines the system's responsiveness in reporting blocked sampling points or broken pipes. The number of sampling points and fan speed are the main factors to consider for this setting.
System The installed system must be checked with the top cover securely fitted. For open area applications, smoke should be introduced to the furthest sampling point from the XAS-1-US system on each branch of the pipe. The choice of smoke source is dependant on the installation but in all cases the smoke must be present for the duration of the test - some aerosol sprays for point detectors may not work on aspirated systems.

(ESD) damage to the unit. Notes: Prior to carrying out any work or maintenance on the XAS-1-US, take the necessary steps to advise the monitoring authority that power may be removed and the system disabled. Point detectors should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Point Detector Replacement To remove and replace the point detector: 1. Disconnect power from the XAS-1-US. 2. Loosen the four screws that secure the clear plastic cover to the housing base. 3. Insert a small blade screwdriver into the lock release slot in the base. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise to remove it from the base.
