The  FAAST  LT  Series  is  part  of  the  Fire  Alarm 
Aspiration  Sensing  Technology®  (FAAST)  family.  
FAAST  is  an  advanced  fire  detection  system  for  use 
where  early  warning  and  very  early  warning  are  a 
requirement.  The  system  continuously  draws  air  from 
the controlled environment through a series of sampling 
holes to monitor the environment for smoke particulate. 
The  FL20  Series  is  the  addressable  version  of  the 
FAAST  LT  range,

 

communicating  with  the  Fire  Panel 

via a proprietary loop protocol. 
The FL20nnEI is available in 3 different models each, 6 
models total: 

FL2011EI

 -   has  single  channel  capability  with  one 

 

laser smoke detector. 

FL2012EI

 -   has  single  channel  capability  with  two 

laser smoke detectors in a common 
chamber for coincidence detection. 

FL2022EI

 -   has two channel capability with two laser 

  

smoke detectors in separate chambers, 

 

one detector per channel. 

This guide provides information for mounting and basic 
installation

 

using the 

unit’s default factory settings.
