IAS-1 Product Guide Introduction The Xtralis ICAM IAS-1 system is an aspirating smoke detection system that utilizes an air-sampling pipe network to draw air towards conventional or analog addressable point detectors in an aspirated enclosure. Point detectors can be selected according to specific needs of an installation and are listed in Section 9: AS 1603.8 Listed Detectors.

ICAM by Xtralis IAS-1 Product Guide Wiring For correct operation of the unit it is essential that the case is fully sealed so that air can only be drawn into the system through the aspirating pipe. For this reason, all wiring must pass through the cable seals provided and no additional holes should be made.

IAS-1 Product Guide ICAM by Xtralis 3.1.1 BATTERY Terminal Figure 3-2: Ferrite core and battery supply wiring The IAS-1 unit is designed to run from a 24 VDC supply. The supply should be connected to the two-way BATTERY connector on the main circuit board ensuring that the wires are correctly orientated. The minimum recommended wire size is 16 x 0.25 mm (18 AWG), or larger if the supply is further than 5 m (16.4 ft) from the...
Each baffle is shaped to match a particular model/range of detectors and simply clips into position in the slots provided in the transparent lid. Please contact your local Xtralis ICAM distributor for ordering information. Detector Installation One or two conventional or analog addressable point detectors are attached to the mounting board using the provided screws.

ICAM by Xtralis IAS-1 Product Guide Pipe Installation This section provides a simple guide to pipe installation and should contain all the information required for simple installations based on the standard configurations shown in Section 5.8: Standard Configurations. More information on achieving an ActivFire compliant pipe installation can be found in Section 9: AS 1603.8 Listed Detectors.
The sampled air is passed through a filter (order code FL53) before entering the detector chamber. Figure 5-4: Xtralis Inline Filter Additional filtration of sampled air may be required in harsh environments. Refer to the Xtralis Inline Filter Application Note (17785) for further information.

IAS-1 Product Guide ICAM by Xtralis User Functions Press and hold SELECT and CHANGE keys simultaneously for 1 sec to initialize function selection. Press and release SELECT key to sequentially step through functions. Press and release CHANGE key to modify setting.
ICAM by Xtralis IAS-1 Product Guide Set-up Notes The Fan Speed, Flow Limits and Flow Sensitivity need to be set for each installation prior to Flow Calibration and testing. It is not possible to provide the settings for all possible installations but the following guidelines should assist in the commissioning of the unit.
Page 26
IAS-1 Product Guide ICAM by Xtralis 6.3.3 Flow Sensitivity This setting determines the system's responsiveness in reporting blocked sampling points or broken pipes. The number of sampling points and fan speed are the main factors to consider for this setting.
ICAM by Xtralis IAS-1 Product Guide Testing Note: Testing should only be carried out by qualified personnel. To prevent unwanted alarms, ensure that the proper authorities have been informed and that the unit has been isolated from the fire system.

ICAM by Xtralis IAS-1 Product Guide Maintenance With normal use, the filter element will eventually become contaminated with dust particles, impeding airflow, and it is recommended that the filter element (order code FL53) is changed every six months. Note: Maintenance should only be carried out by qualified personnel. To prevent unwanted alarms, ensure that the proper authorities have been informed and that the unit has been isolated from the fire system.

2. The IAS decal on the front of the detector must be removed when this point is installed. Sampling Pipe Network Design The IAS-1 supports a number of pre-engineered pipe network designs.These designs incorporate suction pressure and transport time considerations. For setup details, refer to the Xtralis ICAM Pipe Network Design Guide (Document 14966). CAUTION: The performance of this system is dependent upon the pipe network.
