8251BPI

FAAST XM Intelligent Aspirating Smoke Detector

The FAAST 8251BPI Intelligent Aspirating Smoke Detector combines dual source (blue LED and infrared laser) optical smoke detection with intelligent fire alarm panel connectivity using an analogue addressable loop.

The detector provides class A, B or C smoke detection, using an air sampling system that continuously draws air from the controlled environment into the detector chamber through a sampling pipe.

The three-stage filtering and particle rejection system ensures high sensitivity to smoke with excellent immunity to nuisance particles. The particle separator ensures that heavy particles bypass the detection chamber, extending filter life and preventing detection chamber contamination.

The detector can be connected to an analogue addressable loop for direct communication with a fire alarm panel. The 8251BPI detector reports to the panel as a FAAST detector. FAAST’s PipeIQ* software allows the detector’s sensitivity levels to be configured to match the panel’s pre-alarm and alarm settings.
