Maintenance
Weekly/monthly inspection and test
Although our products have been through stringent cyclic testing, over 1000
cycles for a 8m drop curtain on our smoke curtain to obtain BS EN 12101-1 at our
maximum width, our fire curtain has also been cyclic tested to over 850 cycles
to achieve the requirement of annex D (BS8524) there is still a requirement to
carry out weekly or monthly tests and an annual full service.
• Initially inspect the installation paying particular attention to the guide channels
to check there has been no pinching which in turn could prevent the curtain
from closing, there should be a continual gap of approx 8mm top to bottom.
• Check there are no obstruction in the curtain line to prevent the curtain from
deploying correctly.
• Check no modifications have been made to the head box or ceiling slot which
again would prevent the curtain from deploying correctly.
• Turn the key on the Main control Panel from stand by to test, the curtain or
curtains should deploy if there is a delay set in the programming check the
wait time, if a split drop descent is programmed then this will activate at the
programmed position. If multi curtains are controlled by the MCP then they will
all close.
• Check all curtains reach their fire/smoke correct position.
• Check the LCD on the display is not indicating any faults.
• Turn the key to stand by and all curtains should fully retract into the open
position and the bottom bar should touch the box housing.
Correct service and maintenance will increase the life expectancy
of our product .
