In the case of the FA100 device two detector modules are installed, the overall length is  given by the sum of the pipes lengths of each detector module.   The maximum distance of a sample hole from the FA100 device is 100m.   The piping system can have a maximum of 4 branches for each detection module.   The maximum length of the exhaust pipe is 10m. To reduce the noise of the exhaust it is advisable to connect a pipe of a least 50cm.   The sampling holes must be positioned at least 25cm from the system parts such as:  ...
  • Page 32 Valve position/Air  flow Aspirator Separate environments Care should be taken in cases where the  FA100 device is installed in a separate  environment from that protected  (environment where the sampling holes  are located). If there is any possibility of a pressure  difference between the two environments,  it is necessary to provide for the return of  Max 10 m the air from the exhaust to the protected  room. Condensation In environments with particular conditions  of humidity or high temperature  differences which predict the formation of  condensation in the pipes, it is necessary  to install a condensate trap (WT025) in  the immediate vicinity of the FA100  device. To eliminate the possibility that the condensate can reach the detection modules, the  condensate trap must be installed at a lower height than the last section of pipe connected to  the FA100 device. Anti-dust filter In the event of a high presence of dust in the environment, the use of the dust filter  (504F075ABS) must be taken into consideration. The installation must be planned before the sampled air reaches the FA100 device. FA100 | © 2024 Inim Electronics S.r.l.

    To compensate for these variations in length, it is advisable to provide expansion joints, i.e.  extensions made with the standard pipe or with sections of flexible pipe. To  determine  the  distance  between  two  expansion  joints,  it  must  be  considered  that  the   expansion coefficient of one meter of ABS TUBOABS0250M pipe is approximately equal to 0.1  mm / °C. 8.1.1 Using a second FAD100 FA100 can house a second detection module FAD100 (Description of parts, [N]) that gives  the possibility to have two protected areas, with the relative signals, clearly distinct from  each other. During the programming phase it will be possible to combine these signals in order to  process the output signal to the fire control panel. However, the piping system of one detector must remain separate and independent from  the system relating to the other detector and there must be no fittings or joints between  the two systems. If one of the two detection modules is no longer used, this must be disabled, removed  from the device and the caps near the relative compartment (Description of parts, [O]) ...

For the insertion of the FAD100 module in the appropriate housing (Description of parts, [N]) it is first necessary to remove the fitted caps (Description of parts, [O]).

    90° To obtain a precise cut and to avoid chipping, the use of a pipe cutter is recommended. By  means of this tool it is also possible to obtain the flaring useful during the insertion process. The insertion of the pipes into their locations must be done thoroughly,  ensuring the pipe penetrate as much as possible. Note The pipe and fittings used for the aspirating pipe system must comply with requirements of Class  1131 according to EN 61386-1 standard. In order to guarantee that the aspiration system pipes are perfectly sealed, the connection  between the pipes and the fittings must be carried out using the special sealant glue available  in packages of 250 ml (SGLUEN0250) or 500 ml (SGLUEN0500). To simplify maintenance and possible replacement operations, the final section of the pipeline  connected to the 1 and 2 aspiration pipe fitment (Description of parts, [H], [I]) and to the  exhaust pipe fitment (Description of parts, [J]) of the FA100 device must not be glued. 8.2.3 Installation of the 504F075ABS filter The 504F075ABS should be installed along the sampling pipe of aspirating smoke detection  systems, in the vicinity of the detector inlet. The maximum distance of the filter from the FA100 device is 2 m. Sampling holes must not be made in the section of piping between the FA100 device and the  filter. Note Protect from direct sun light.

In case of “fire tests”, the filter meshes must be cleaned once the tests of each sensitivity class  have been executed. 8.4.1 Cleaning of the FAD100FILTER filter meshes The complete cleaning of the filter meshes requires their removal from the housing.

  • Page 39 Chapter 8  Plant engineering The removal of the FAD100FILTER filter meshes ([A]) must be  carried out by pressing on the their tabs ([B]) and by  unthreading through the appropriate opening ([C]). For cleaning the use of cans of “compressed air” normally used  for cleaning electronic devices is recommended. It is recommended to hold the can nozzle approximately 5cm  from the mesh. If necessary, use a clean brush with soft bristles. If it is not possible to clean the filters completely or if they are  damaged, replace them. A  high  quantity  of  dust  or  dirt  on  the  meshes,  or  the  presence  of  a  contamination  fault,   suggests the need to clean the interior of the detector module (sampling chamber). For this kind of intervention also, the use of cans of “compressed air” is recommended. Holding  the   can   nozzle   approximately   5cm   from   the   inlet/outlet   vents,   spray   air   into   the   detector.module.

     the  table  provides  pre- calculated  programming  data,  to  be  entered  via  the  device   programming menu. The tables show, distributed over the rows, the number of branches and their lengths, divided  by intervals. “Length” is the distance the air drawn into the pipe travels from the most distant  hole to the detector. The columns show the required number of holes for each branch. The holes are numbered from  closest (hole # 1) to furthest (hole with maximum number) from the detector. Parameters In the boxes at the intersection of number/length of branches and number of holes are the  programming parameters to be used:   Holes diameter, in mm ("Ø")   Detection sensitivity (depending on the balance of sampling holes, "S")   Aspiration speed, in RPM (fan revolutions per minute, "V")   Expected airflow, in l/min ("F")   Balancing of the air aspiration between the holes ("B")   Transit time of the smoke from the most distant hole to the detector ("T") The calculation of this parameter is based on the length of the branches. Since the  length is indicated in the table as a range, the calculation is carried out using the  average length.

  • Page 44 Appendix B Pre-calculated installations These parameters, in addition to the branches length and the total length of the pipework,  determine the validity of the system for the specified sensitivity class. Conditions of The use of these tables requires the following constraints to be satisfied:   The pipe system connected to the detector is considered as divided into 1, 2 or 4  branches.   All the branches into which the installation is divided are equal to each other in terms of  length and number of holes. "Branch length" stands for the distance between the FA100 device and the farthest hole.   The sampling holes must be equidistant from each other (with a 10% tolerance).   For each pipe line only one dust filter may be used, this must be positioned upstream of  the detector and downstream of any sampling holes.   For each line only one condensate trap may be used, this must be positioned upstream  of the detector and downstream of any sampling hole.   The length of the exhaust piping should not exceed 3 meters.   If both FAD100 detector modules are used for only one FA100, both pipes must have the  same class, same filter and condensate trap, the same number of branches, length and  number of holes. The sampling holes must be equidistant from each other (with a 10% tolerance).   The distance between the FA100 device and a T fitting must be 10% of the branch length  maximum.   The ambient temperature must be between 10 and 40°C.
