Operating and Maintenance
Instructions
All Ductgard units are tested before
leaving the factory but should be test
operated prior to commissioning to
ensure correct operation. Quick and
easy testing and reset procedures for
each operational mode are detailed on
their respective data pages in this
brochure. In addition to their initial test
however, being a fire safety product, it
is also recommended that the units are
test operated regularly thereafter . Test
frequency will depend upon the
damper environment but, in the
absence of any other information, a
maximum interval of 6 months is
recommended. In addition an annual
visual inspection is also advisable to
permit cleaning and removal of any
airborne contaminants which may
affect the dampers operation.
Note
For safety the damper blades should
be closed on Modes 5,9, and open on
modes 6,10, before personally
approaching them for
inspection/cleaning.
Since the drive, linkage, motors and
electronic components on the ductgard
units are ‘sealed for life’ there should
be no requirement for periodic
maintenance and spares are not
normally required. Items such as reset
levers and test keys however can be
misplaced over time. In this event
replacements are readily available from
Head Office.
