FIRE CURTAIN FM1

Product catalog summary
Purpose: FM-1 fire curtains are designed to act as temporary barriers during a fire, preventing the spread of fire and smoke while maintaining access to escape routes without compromising fire resistance.
Applications: Suitable for residential, retail, and industrial buildings, these curtains can replace fire doors or shutters, protect lift doors, close smoke shafts, provide escape routes in open-plan areas, and cover atrium balconies.
Features: FM-1 fire curtains are lightweight, compact, and easy to install, even in tight spaces like false ceilings. They are tested to EN 1634-1 standards and classified under EN 13501-2 with fire resistance ratings of E60-C, E120-C, and E180-C. The fabric is glass fibre with a fire-retardant coating, achieving class A2-s1,d0.
Design: The curtains include a stable headbox, variable sizes, and guide systems to ensure closure under air pressure. They are discreet when rolled up and can be powder-coated to match the building's aesthetics.
Controls: The system features user-friendly controls with a 48 V DC gravity fall motor, intelligent electronics, and options for emergency opening and fireman’s override buttons. It operates without power, descending under gravity in a fail-safe manner.
Configuration and Sizes: Available in single, double vertical, or double horizontal units, with dimensions from 1000 mm to 5000 mm in width and 500 mm to 6000 mm in drop. Larger sizes are approved based on expert reports.
Fabric and Bottom Bar: The fabric provides fire integrity for 60, 120, or 180 minutes, with some options limiting heat radiation. The bottom bar ensures a floor-level seal, accommodating uneven floors.
Side Guide System: Ensures a seal between the curtain and walls, resisting deflection from fire-induced pressures, and can be integrated into walls or niches.
Controls and Operation: Two control options are available, featuring UPS for power interruptions, maintenance switches, and modular panels for project-specific functions. Additional options include emergency opening and safety features.
Overview: The document outlines technical specifications and applications for a fire curtain system, emphasizing its deployment options and control features.
Specifications: The system allows for multiple deployment positions, enabling partial deployment to control smoke early in a fire, followed by full deployment for fire protection. It includes a multi-tone siren and strobe light, with an optional voice warning system.
Applications: Suitable for basements, warehouses, retail spaces, and factories, the system is designed for installation with a headbox and local control boxes for effective operation.
Installation Example: An installation setup for Option 1 controls is referenced, demonstrating their application in a project.
