Product catalog summary
Declaration of Performance
The VU120 is a rectangular smoke control damper designed for multi-compartment smoke control systems. It complies with EN 12101-8:2011 and has been fire resistance tested according to EN 1366-10. Manufactured by Rf-Technologies NV, it is certified by Efectis (ID: 1812).
Product Presentation
The VU120 damper is noted for its airtightness and minimal pressure loss at 1500 Pa. It is suitable for various shaft types, including calcium-silicate and concrete, and is maintenance-free. Custom dimensions are available upon request.
Range and Dimensions
Available in sizes with 50 mm increments, the damper features a refractory casing, connection flange, damper blade, and intumescent strip.
Installation
Installation must follow the manual and classification report, adhering to shaft manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper orientation and avoid obstruction.
Storage and Handling
The VU120 should be stored and handled to prevent damage, water contact, or deformation, and should not be used as a scaffold or table.
Operation and Mechanisms
Includes BLE and NF/SF actuators for automatic and remote control, available in various voltages.
Approvals and Certificates
Approved for multiple shaft types with fire resistance classifications of EI 60, EI 90, and EI 120, depending on installation.
Specifications
Installation and specifications for smoke dampers are outlined, applicable to ducts tested according to EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9. Materials must meet or exceed tested fire resistance, thickness, and density.
Installation Procedures
Includes general installation, positioning in shafts, and specific instructions for horizontal or vertical shaft installations with various materials.
Sealing and Classification
Details on gap specifications, sealing methods, and fire resistance classifications (EI 60, EI 90, EI 120).
Recommendations and Cautions
Ensure bolts do not exceed sleeve thickness, support the tunnel during sealing, and check damper blade movement.
Installation at Minimal Distances
Dampers can be installed at minimal distances if mounted in separate sleeves with required fire resistance.
Installation and Specifications
Requirements for smoke evacuation dampers in concrete shafts, including reinforcement for multiple dampers.
Maintenance
No specific maintenance required, but visual checks twice a year are recommended. Follow local maintenance regulations.
Operation and Mechanisms
Describes unlocking mechanisms, including manual, remote, and motorized options.
Actuators
Details on NF, SF, and BLE actuators for remote control, including manual and motorized resetting options.
Electrical Connection
Provides electrical connection diagrams and specifications for actuators, emphasizing correct voltage and polarity.
Weights and Selection Data
Tables show damper weights and pressure loss coefficients for system design and performance evaluation.
Specifications
Numerical data on parameter ζ [-] indicating a relationship with increasing values.
Selection Data
Table of 'VU120 - Free air passage (m²)' showing area increases with height and width.
Approvals and Certificates
Products are tested by official institutes, with certifications like Efectis - 1812-CPR-1595 and NF-label for fire safety conformity.
Important Note
Manipulation outside described procedures voids the guarantee and releases manufacturer responsibility.

Product presentation VU120 The rectangular VU120 smoke evacuation damper is noted for its superior airtight properties. It was developed in accordance with the European product standard EN 12101-8 and tested according to the EN 1366-10 standard. The VU120 offers a fire resistance up to 120 minutes, and ensures minimum pressure loss. Smoke evacuation shutters and dampers are suitable for use in ventilating protected lobbies, venting to shafts either naturally or mechanically. They open to evacuate smoke in emergency situations whilst maintaining fire resistant integrity in standby position. 5...
