FAAST LT (COM17) Driver

The FAAST LT (COM17) driver allows Windows to recognize the USB connection to your System Sensor FAAST LT device and make its serial communication port available to compatible software. It is intended for technicians and users who need to connect the equipment to a PC for supported configuration or maintenance tasks. If the device appears as unknown hardware or its COM port is unavailable, installing the appropriate driver may help resolve the connection issue.

Key Features

• COM port access: Enables a serial connection shown here as COM17; Windows may assign a different port number on another computer.
• Legacy Windows compatibility: Listed supported operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the requirements of the selected driver package.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the connection correctly, making it easier to locate the device and check its status in Device Manager.

How to Install FAAST LT (COM17) Driver

1. Check your Windows version and system architecture. Select a package that matches your operating system and, where applicable, its 32-bit or 64-bit edition. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, while Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed here.
2. Choose a trusted source. Before starting your FAAST LT (COM17) driver download for Windows, verify that the package identifies System Sensor and supports your device. If offered as a free download, it should not require unrelated software.
3. Prepare the driver files. Extract the archive if necessary and read any included instructions. Follow the manufacturer's guidance on when to connect or disconnect the USB cable.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer, or open Device Manager, locate the device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Device Manager for warning icons and the assigned COM port. Select that same port in the compatible application.

Keep the driver updated when System Sensor provides a compatible release that addresses your needs. Check the latest version against your operating system before applying an update, and retain a working installer in case you need to restore the previous setup. For equipment used in a fire-detection installation, follow authorized maintenance procedures before changing its PC connection or software.
