Installation Kit for Fire Dampers: Essential for mounting fire dampers on solid ceiling slabs, ensuring sealing integrity during subsidence. Includes an extension piece and a U-channel, pre-assembled at the factory.
Cover Grille: Used when only one end of the damper is ducted, providing approximately 70% free area.
Circular Spigot: Facilitates direct connection to circular ducts, made of galvanized sheet steel.
Flexible Connector: Recommended for installations in lightweight walls and fire walls to accommodate expansion and deformation during a fire.
Extension Piece: Required when using cover grilles, circular spigot plates, or flexible connectors.
Limit Switch: Indicates damper blade position (OPEN/CLOSED) and available in explosion-proof versions.
Spring Return Actuator: Allows remote control of the fire damper and closes the damper if the supply voltage fails.
Air Transfer Damper: Allows remote control and closes upon smoke detection or power failure, suitable for airflow velocities from 1 to 20 m/s.
Specifications: Includes details on duct smoke detectors and fire dampers, focusing on integration into building safety systems.
Procedures and Standards:
  • LON System: Ensures product compatibility through a uniform protocol.
  • AS-i Interface: Global standard bus system for sending control signals.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure proper installation and wiring of modules outside potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • Utilize the Easy Product Finder for project-specific product sizing.
Data and Sizing Examples:
  • Tables for quick sizing of fire dampers based on volume flow rate and sound power level.

Type FK-EU-7

Fire dampers General information Function Construction with spring return actuator Functional description The spring return actuator enables the motorised opening and closing of the damper blade; it can be activated by the central BMS. In the event of a fire, the damper is triggered thermoelectrically at 72 °C or 95 °C (use in warm air ventilation systems). As long as power is supplied to the actuator, the damper blade remains open. If the supply voltage fails, the damper closes (power off to close). Motorised fire dampers can be used to shut off ducts. The torque of each actuator is sufficient...

Type FK-EU-9

Fire dampers General information Function Air transfer damper Functional description Air transfer dampers are designed to shut off openings for air transfer in fire resistant internal walls and ceiling slabs. To prevent smoke from spreading in buildings, it is extremely important that the smoke is detected at an early stage. Duct smoke detector Type RM-O-3-D is required to control and trigger the air transfer damper. The smoke detector operates on the principle of light scattering and detects the smoke regardless of its temperature so that the fire dampers can be closed before the release temperature...
