How to Specify and Install FAAST ASD Applications: A New Honeywell Guide

Honeywell has released an in-depth FAAST Aspiration Smoke Detection Applications Guide to help system integrators, consultants, specifiers and installers during the specification, design, installation and commissioning process.

Drawing on industry codes of practice and guidance from major associations the guide outlines the benefits of aspiration devices and application considerations, as well as best practices for installation, commissioning and maintenance.

Adaptable to a range of applications, aspiration Smoke Detection (ASD) – where air is drawn through sampling holes in a pipe network for smoke particulate analysis – has become one of the most popular detection methods in challenging applications.

Honeywell’s new guide covers the application of products from the FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology range in the following applications:honeywell faast asd

  • Telecoms
  • Large open spaces
  • Extreme temperature locations
  • Dirty environments
  • Transportation facilities
  • Historic and cultural sites
  • Ducts and lift shafts
  • And many more

“We developed the guide to provide a detailed, informative resource for anyone interested in learning more about the implementation of Aspiration Smoke Detection in specific environments,” says Gintare Budriunaite, Marketing Manager, Speciality Products, Honeywell Fire Safety.

“It provides particular value to those working in areas where earliest detection is required, interior design aesthetics cannot be compromised, standard detection methods fail, and areas with restricted or limited access.

“We are seeing significant growth in the use of aspiration technology in these applications and many more for its ability to meet specific challenges.

“Ever-evolving safety standards and insurance prerequisites are driving fire protection to new levels, which is in turn increasing the demand for advanced detection technologies.

“Next-generation ASDs such as FAAST from Honeywell, go one stage further, incorporating state-of-the art technologies designed to deliver the earliest and most accurate fire detection in the most challenging applications, while removing the false alarm issues that plague so many sites and industries.”

Choosing the right fire detection method for a specific environment not only ensures an appropriately high level of protection but also saves money through reduced downtime and improved maintenance.

FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology provides early warning of fire in tough and mission-critical environments where very early smoke detection is needed or standard smoke detection systems are prone to failure or false alarm.
