Preparing To Configure Or Monitor A Faast Lt-200 Device; Monitoring A Faast Lt-200 Device; Important Notes On Altering Faast Lt-200 Settings; Configuring A Faast Lt-200 Device - System Sensor FAAST LT-200 Setup Manual

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 any version of PipeIQ™ (contact your
distributor for information on this) . The information provided in
this manual is only a short overview .

Preparing to Configure or Monitor a FAAST LT-200 Device

To connect and communicate with a FAAST LT-200 device via the
PC USB port, PipeIQ™ must be running a project (.mdf file) that
matches the type of FAAST LT-200 device being used . If no project
exists on the PC, one will have to be created prior to connecting
(See Creating a Project section) .
To communicate with a FAAST LT-200 Device.
Ensure that the FAAST LT-200 unit is in Maintenance mode,
PipeIQ™ is running on the PC, then open the front door and
connect a USB cable from the internal socket to the PC .
In PipeIQ™, open the project file associated with the FAAST LT-
200 device to be monitored . The Left pane in PipeIQ™ will show
the aspirating system tree (loading the file may take a little while).
Click on the FAAST LT-200 Device to highlight it .
Select Connect Device from the Tool menu .
Follow the on-screen instructions to make the connection .
Note: The Send Configuration option in PipeIQ™ enables a saved
configuration to be sent to a FAAST LT-200 device.
A user must be connected to the device as an administrator (tick
the Admin box and enter the Administrator password) to access
and perform this command . The Administrator password is the
same as the Remote Maintenance password (the default is 3111)
The device is connected when a Green Tick is indicated by the
device . A Red Cross indicates that the device is not connected .
Select the Monitoring/Configuration tab as required .

Monitoring a FAAST LT-200 Device

Once connected to a FAAST LT-200 device, PipeIQ™ can be used
to monitor the device; it is possible to check the status (read device
information), review event logs, activate relays, test the fan speed
and reset the device .
Open a relevant project, highlight the FAAST LT-200 device, Select
Connect Device from the Tools menu and make the connection .
Double click the FAAST LT-200 device to open the large pane on
the right side of the screen . View the device status features by
clicking on the Monitoring tab . An additional tab at the top of the
pane provides access to further features .
Ensuring that the FAAST LT-200 device is highlighted in the left
pane, Select Device information from the Tools menu to view
further info .
For more information on using the Monitoring options, see the
PipeIQ™ Help Menu .
IMPORTANT NOTES
SETTINGS
FAAST LT-200 devices are shipped with factory default parameters
that should be adequate for many aspirating applications; a list of
these parameters is shown in Appendix A . If these factory default
parameters are altered, the validity of the new settings must be
confirmed.
The FAAST LT-200 device is approved to EN54-20 classes A, B
and C (CPR 305/2011). To ensure adherence to this standard,
the class of any pipe/hole configuration and detector
sensitivity must be determined using the design feature of the
PipeIQ™ software version 2.9.1 or higher.

ON ALTERING FAAST
Air Flow Settings
The FAAST LT-200 operating settings can only be changed using
the PipeIQ™ application. Pipe layouts should be verified for
EN54:20 compliance by running a PipeIQ™ simulation project (via
the Pipe Design tab) and evaluating the results against the strict
approval criteria in the program. Sensitivities, air flow rates and
limits etc are adjusted and optimised within PipeIQ™; the FAAST
LT-200 parameter values are created in the pipe design project
and stored in an associated configuration file. The resulting air flow
rate should be set as the reference flow into the configuration by
pressing the Apply to Configuration button in the PipeIQ™ Pipe
Design mode, which will automatically set the new airflow limits.
Modifying the reference flow arbitrarily from within the Configuration
screen is not recommended . Changing the fan speed using the
manual mode from within the Configuration screen should be
avoided . These change options are available primarily for test
purposes only . Manually setting the fan speed to change the air
flow will not alter the associated hi/lo flow limit settings in the
FAAST LT-200 unit . Therefore this option should not be used to set
or change air flow values in an EN54 compliant pipe system; the
PipeIQ™ Pipe Design facility should always be used .
Delay Settings
The default values for flow fault delay, general fault delay, pre-
alarm and alarm delay, and remote output alarm time that are pre-
set into the FAAST LT-200 unit are critical for compliance to the
EN54:20 standard.
Within the Configuration options it is possible to increase delay
times for these actions, but any changes should be made with
extreme caution . Increasing any of these delays should not be
done without a clear understanding of the consequences to the
requirements of the EN54:20 standard.
An increase/decrease in flow above/below the Flow High / Flow
Low limits will result in a Flow Fault after a factory default delay of
60 seconds. Once the flow is returned to a normal level, the fault
condition will be cleared immediately .
In environments where the sampled airflow may be affected by
sudden temperature/pressure changes due to air handling units,
doors opening/closing etc. or there is a risk of physical interference
with the sampling point, it may be necessary to increase the delay
between the flow going out of limits and signalling a Flow Fault
condition. Delay values of up to 240 seconds before signalling a
fault are available when setting up the detector . This is to allow
time for the air pressures to stabilise after the temporary event .

Configuring a FAAST LT-200 Device

The PipeIQ™ configuration interface provides a method for viewing
and editing the device configurations. Once connected to a FAAST
LT-200 device, PipeIQ™ can be used to configure the device; it
is possible to set up relay actions, fan speed, critical times and
dates, event log requirements and other operational parameters .
For the Stand Alone versions it is also possible to configure the
alarm thresholds .
With the Configuration options selected, the General tab displays
LT-200
in the right pane, with further options available using the Advanced
button (details such as passwords, time-outs and external input
information) . If a new project was created, the initial screen display
will show the factory default settings for the device type selected .
Select the Alarms and Relays tab to show details such as relay
latching, alarm mode settings and delays .
Select the Channels and Sensors tab to show details such as fan
speed settings and sensor or channel disablement .
Note: There are some differences between the graphic screens for
the FAAST LT-200 stand alone and loop based units, owing to the
variation in control and operation between the two .
