2. PURPOSE OF DEVICE
mcr-PROLIGHT smoke vents are automatic smoke venting devices. The principal function of
mcr-PROLIGHT smoke vents is the removal of heat energy, fire gases, and smoke from
enclosed spaces (production floors, storage rooms, public amenity buildings, etc.) outside the
building, contributing to the protection of life and property, through:
• maintaining escape routes in a state of moderate smoke intensity,
• facilitating fire fighting and rescue operations by providing a bottom corridor with
moderate smoking intensity,
• ensuring protection for the building structure and its equipment,
• limiting fire damage caused by smoke, hot burning fumes and thermal decomposition
byproducts
The smoke vents may also serve the purpose of ventilation vents, smoke & ventilation vents, or
roof skylights.
The use of smoke vents provides the following opportunities to the Investor:
• lowering the building's fire resistance grade
• extending permissible fire zones,
• elongating evacuation routes
mcr-PROLIGHT smoke vents are part of a smoke control system that comprises other
MERCOR SA products, including, among others: mcr-PROLIGHT smoke vents in continuous
skylights and single skylights, mcr-PROSMOKE smoke curtains, mcr 9705 and mcr 0204 control
units, and others.
mcr-PROLIGHT smoke vents have a Certificate of Conformity WE 1488-CPD-0151/W,
issued by the Institute for Building Technologies in Warsaw, certifying the conformance
