1.

 

Smoke vents are designed to open thermally when a UL listed fusible link melts at 

temperatures of 165˚F, 212˚F, 280˚F, 350˚F, 360˚F, 370˚F, 386˚F or 450˚F. Fusible 

links are easily accessed from the roof for replacement, as detailed.

OPTION: Electrical Belimo Actuator 
 
Smoke vents can include an option to open 
electrically with a low voltage (24VDC/AC) or High 
Voltage (110VAC/220VAC) at 2.5Watt signal. The 
electrical option is ideal to coordinate vent opening 
with a fire alarm, smoke detector, sprinkler system or 
other. 
 
Smoke vent covers are closed manually from the 
exterior roof top level. Make sure to disengage the 
hold open arm prior to closing the doors.

 

 

 

Acceptance Testing 

 
An acceptance performance test and inspection of all vents shall be immediately conducted 
following installation to establish that all operating mechanism functions properly. Vents 
should be operated in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
