COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL PipeIQ® Operation SCOPE This section provides information for pipe network designers and administrators on the use of the PipeIQ® software program for the FAAST system. It describes how to use the PipeIQ software to configure device settings, design pipe networks, and monitor FAAST detectors. The PipeIQ software also supports FAAST systems with trend graphs, reports, and data storage options. TABLE 2.

FIGURE 4. PROJECT SETTINGS POP-UP WINDOW Floor Configuration After finishing the building configuration, the floor must be configured by providing the necessary information. To configure the floor, double-click on the Floor name in the left pane. The Floor screen opens in the right pane. Highlight the current name and type in the appropriate floor name, then click the OK button at the bottom of the window to accept the new name. Additional devices can be added to a floor, if required.
PAGE 6
Button Lock-Out Depending on the model selected, the button lockout feature may or may not appear. If the button lock out option is not available, this configuration must be set via the Fire Alarm Control Panel. Under Button Lock-Out, select the following options: FIGURE 8.

PIPE HOLE DETAILS FIELDS DESCRIPTION Hole Diameter Relative Distance ASP96-00 ADDING A DETECTOR To add a FAAST detector to the design, select the drawing area, then select the Detector (FAAST detector) button on the toolbar in the right pane. A FAAST detector must be the first item added to a pipe network design.
PAGE 11
USING THE PIPE WIZARD The easiest way to design a pipe network is by using the Pipe Wizard feature of the PipeIQ software. The wizard walks through the design of a pipe network in accordance with the preset application standards. REPORTS Once the pipe design is complete, Bill of Material, consolidated Bill of Materials and Pipe Layout Reports can be generated using the report button on the tool bar. Bill of Material Report The Bill of Material report provides information regarding a particular site.
PAGE 12
When all settings are correct, select the Next button to move to the next page of the wizard, the Pipe Network Screen, as shown in Figure 21. FIGURE 21. PIPE WIZARD PIPE NETWORK SCREEN To select the Pipe Diameter being used in the network, select the down arrow to the right of the Pipe Diameter field and select the appropriate diameter. If Other is chosen, the ID field is enabled and the diameter may be changed by highlighting the default value and typing in the value.
PAGE 13
Live View Select the Monitoring tab in the lower left corner of the window to view a Live View of the FAAST system status, as shown in Figure 26. This view shows the User Interface panel of the FAAST system. In this mode the screen refreshes approximately every 15 seconds. Therefore, there may be a slight delay between the detector user interface and the Live View in PipeIQ. TREND MODE Trend mode indicates whether the graph is displaying live or stored data.

COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL Commissioning Scope This section provides an overview of the commissioning process for a system and describes how the commissioning papers should be completed. Roles of Each Party in the Commissioning Process Commissioning Agent The commissioning agent functions as the central contact point to disseminate information. The commisioning agent assists the design and construction teams in completion of the construction process.
PAGE 18
CONFIGURING a New FAAST System If the FAAST detector has never been configured before, when initially powered it indicates a configuration fault. Begin the configuration process by performing the following procedure. 10. Connect PipeIQ to the detector by selecting the device in the left pane, right-clicking and selecting “Connect Device.” This opens the Connect Screen, shown in Figure 4. The text box should contain the default Host IP address of 192.168.1.10.

PipeIQ will inquire if you wish to send the changes to the device. If this is not desired, select No and select the save icon to save the changes. 13. Select the Relays and Thresholds tab at the top of the window and select the appropriate relay and threshold settings for the system as referenced in Table 7.

Relay Function Testing The Relay function can be verified by setting the system into Test mode. The Test mode is initiated through the PipeIQ Live View or by depressing the TEST button on the user display when the button is enabled. The Test mode simulates a fire condition by activating all ten segments in the Particulate Level display and each segment in the Alarm display. Each corresponding alarm relay is also activated after any programmed delay associated with that relay.

PipeIQ FAAST Connection Troubleshooting In order to connect to a FAAST device at its default IP address (192.168.1.10) the PC network adapter must be configured to operate in the correct address range. Below are the steps required to make a direct connection to a FAAST device. Take note of current adapter settings. They will be needed if you wish to restore your existing network connection later. To configure a direct connection to a FAAST device choose: • Use the following IP address • IP address: 192.

AVAILABLE LANGUAGES FOR USER INTERFACE CARD Note: Not all parts and accessories are available in all markets. PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Table 1 lists additional Parts and Accessories available for use with the FAAST detector.
PAGE 29
COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL The Pipe System SCOPE This section provides details on the physical installation of the pipe network for the FAAST system. Knowledge of local codes and regulations is required in addition to this manual. FITTINGS Fittings are used to connect sections of pipe together on longer network runs and are made from the same material as the pipe. There are several types of fittings to allow for various bends, straight runs, branches and connections.
PAGE 30
CAPILLARY TUBES AND SAMPLING POINTS A capillary tube is a length of flexible tubing that is connected to the main sampling pipe with a sampling point at the end. The purpose of these tubes is to extend the placement of the area being sampled away from the main pipe network. This may be necessary to reach into an enclosed space, such as a cabinet, or for aesthetic and security reasons. This allows the core pipe network to be hidden, while only a small sampling point is located in the main space.
PAGE 31
Pipe Bends Never bend pipes, unless absolutely necessary. Use elbows, tees or other fittings to change the direction of the pipe. If bending is necessary, determine how much bending the pipe can tolerate before beginning the process. Always use bending springs and pipe benders. Never heat the pipe or bend it around sharp objects. If a pipe is kinked while bending, replace it with a new section of pipe. Conform to all local codes and regulations for bending of pipes.
PAGE 32
COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL Application and Design In locations that are normally subjected to difficult environmental conditions, such as loading docks or warehouse spaces, the FAAST detector is typically located within a controlled environment, while the pipe network is located in the harsh environment. SCOPE This section is intended to provide general design and application guidelines for designing pipe networks in conjunction with the FAAST system.
PAGE 33
OPEN AREA PROTECTION Ceiling Sampling In typical ceiling installations, the pipe network is suspended from 1 in. to 1 ft. (25 mm to 300 mm) below the ceiling level in the protected area. This type of installation is the most common installation. It could be used in offices, warehouses, equipment rooms and a variety of other types of installations. The pipes and hence the air sampling holes are exposed to the protected environment. The PipeIQ software can also provide guidance for the design.
PAGE 34
HIGH AIR EXCHANGE AREAS Typically, high air exchange areas have some form of mechanical ventilation to maintain constant or cyclical air flow for heating, cooling or maintaining some other sort of special environment. Smoke tends to travel with the air flow, so positioning sampling pipes near the return of an air handling unit or heating/air conditioning unit ensures early detection of particulate in the area.
