Fire Dampers

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a technical supplement for ALDES COMPULSOR Fire Protection Edition No. 8, focusing on fire dampers used for compartmentalization and fire protection. It covers various types of ISONE dampers, their specifications, installation procedures, and regulatory compliance.
Product Features: ALDES offers a range of fire dampers, including surface-mounted and flush-mounted ISONE+ dampers, ISONE 1500 dampers, and MINiSONE dampers. These products are designed for easy installation and upgradeability, featuring mechanisms adaptable with electromagnetic tripping devices, signaling contacts, and reset motors.
Regulatory Compliance: The document discusses the impact of the European Union's "Construction Products" directive on fire dampers, emphasizing compliance with EN 15650 standards. It explains the new Euroclass fire protection vocabulary and the importance of selecting dampers based on service pressure and fire resistance classification.
ISONE Mechanisms: The ISONE mechanism is highlighted for its adaptability, allowing for quick upgrades and remote testing capabilities. The document details the installation and operation of the EHOP 30S remote reset motor and the various tripping and signaling options available.
Installation Guidelines: Detailed instructions are provided for installing ISONE dampers on different types of walls and ducts, emphasizing ease of installation without the need for sealing or suspension elements. The document also includes pressure drop data for different damper configurations.
Technical Specifications: The document provides technical details for various damper models, including voltage requirements, consumption rates, resetting times, and weight. It also includes a summary table of fire resistance properties for different ISONE+ dampers.
Installation on Plasterboard Wall: Advantages include no grouting or suspension required, removable installation, and compatibility with horizontal or vertical blade axis. Mechanism features dual voltage (24/48 V) with space for fire safety control unit (CMSI) equipment. Compliance with CE marking as per EN 15650: 1812-CPR-1100 and 1101 is noted.
Installation on Light Plasterboard Partition Wall: Frame construction involves adapting metal frame dimensions to the damper. Plasterboard installation ensures joints are not aligned on each side, and the damper is screwed to the metal framework.
Specific Mounting for Rectangular ISONE+ EI 90 S: The fire damper is positioned in the framework without mineral wool insulation or screws.
Surface-Mounted Installation on Plaster Brick Wall: Advantages include ideal for hopper installations, no grouting required, and supports horizontal or vertical blade axis. Installation involves placing the damper against the wall and anchoring with VBA screws.
Offset Installation of Fire Damper Duct: Advantages include simple and economic installation, no grouting required, and modular installation. Compliance with CE marking as per EN 15650: 1812-CPR-1100 and 1101 is noted.
Circular ISONE+ - Flush-Mounted: Advantages include Ø160 mm body, authorized for walls and floors, traditional grouting with mortar, and optional Class B airtight seals. Suitable for compartmentalization of commercial premises.
Specifications: ISONE circular fire dampers are compliant with CE marking as per EN 15650: 1812-CPR-1096 and 1098. Fire protection ratings include EI 120 S - 500 Pa for 150mm concrete slabs and cellular concrete, and EI 90 S for 70mm plaster blocks.
Installation Procedures: For concrete installations, openings should be made according to provided diagrams, with grouting using standard mortar for standard concrete and specific mortar for aerated concrete. For plaster brick walls, adhesive mortar is used.
Advantages: Installation is simplified with no need for additional support, and mechanisms can be mounted above or below slabs. Mechanisms offer dual voltage options (24/48 V) and sufficient space for fire safety control units.
Compliance and Certification: CE certificates and classification reports are available on the manufacturer's website. Fire dampers are approved for installation in various wall and floor types, with traditional mortar sealing and no suspension support required.
Technical Details: Electrical connections and mechanism options are detailed, including voltage and consumption specifications. Pressure loss values are provided for different air velocities.
Fire Protection Description: The ISONE 1500 series includes fire dampers designed for installation in concrete walls or slabs. They feature a mobile damper blade made of refractory material and are sealed using traditional mortar.
Installation Procedures: Installation involves embedding the dampers into concrete walls or slabs, sealing with mortar, and ensuring the damper blade shaft is horizontal.
Accessories and Dimensions: Various dimensions and weights for the ISONE 1500 series are provided, along with codes for adhesive and other accessories.
Advantages and Compliance: The equipment is designed for easy installation and connection, with dual voltage options to prevent control errors. It complies with CE 1812 - CPR - 1016 standards.
MINISONE Fire Dampers: The MINISONE series is designed for compartmentalization in commercial premises. It features a galvanized steel tunnel and a refractory blade, with an automatic trip device activated at 70°C.
Terminal Fire Dampers: The CF1 and CF2 terminal fire dampers meet CE certification and fire protection ratings of EI 60 S and EI 120 S.
ALDES Control Pack: The ALDES Control Pack is a portable automatic functions controller for testing fire damper systems.
Specifications: The document outlines the specifications of a fire damper mechanism, including an electromagnetic power emission tripping device, position indicator contacts with LEDs, a resetting servo-motor, and priority management for safety positions.
Components and Kits: The range includes a controller, protective bag, charger, and ISONE cable. Various kits are available for thermal fuses, electromagnets, and contact kits.
Advantages: The VRFI fire damper mechanism is upgradeable since 1987, offers simplified maintenance, and has proven reliability.
Signal and Activation Equipment: Signal equipment includes FCU, DCU, FCB, and DCB contacts for transmitting damper position information.
Installation and Maintenance Recommendations: Fire dampers should be stored in dry, frost-protected locations and protected during installation from projections and water damage.
General Data: Fire dampers are dual-position devices with open blades in standby and closed blades in safety positions.
Inspection and Maintenance: Before activation, dampers should be in standby to avoid stress on retention devices. Maintenance should be performed with power off, and periodic inspections are recommended.

The regulatory environment for fire dampers is changing For over 10 years, the European Union has been gradually implementing the "Construction Products" directive on a product by product basis. Today, it is the turn of fire dampers to respect marking. This new regulation may disrupt the habits of stakeholders in the fire protection industry. In particular these changes concern: • New fire resistance testing and classification methods. • New European vocabulary concerning fire resistance. Fire protection FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT, WHAT CHANGES AFFECT FIRE DAMPERS? The answer is illustrated...

Fire protection Compartmentalisation ISONE mechanisms : fully adaptable in just a few minutes! Since 1984, all ALDES dampers have been upgradeable. This means that, once installed, the damper mechanism can be improved by fitting an electromagnetic tripping device, one or more signalling contacts and a reset motor. The dampers can therefore be adapted to match changing regulatory requirements and operational needs. With the ISONE mechanism, upgradeability is simplified to the limit! Thanks to plug-in, tool free fittings, the ISONE mechanism can be transformed into its most complete version in...
