5.0 SPECIFIC COMMISSIONING AND SERVICING 
REQUIREMENTS

400°C for 2 hours Units for Smoke Extract

Exposure temperature/time: 400°C for 2 hours

These units are used to provide a SAFETY FUNCTION for people 
in the event of fire in public premises or in the home: they are 
therefore subject to strict constraints concerning their operating and 
maintenance. 

Operating Constraints

 

i. Check on the nameplate that the selected unit corresponds to the 
maximum exposure temperature and duration.

ii. Non ventilated motors MUST be placed in the airflow from the driven 
fan. Ventilated motors can be placed outside the flow.

iii. AFTER THE UNIT HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO ONE EMERGENCY 
DUTY OPERATION, IT MUST BE REPLACED.

iv. With variable speed control. Ensure that the maximum speed never 
exceeds the speed of the motor supplied by the mains and that the 
delivered power corresponds to the previous definitions. The unit 
should be equipped with PTC thermistors connected to the protection 
system during S1 duty and switched off during S2 duty (operation 
during an emergency).

These qualifications ensure the qualification of the driven fan by the 
manufacturer. 

Maintenance Constraints

 

Regular service visits must be performed on the installation AT 
LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS, incorporating the following checks:

i. Checking the insulation resistance (R>100 MOhms, 500V DC)

 If the drain holes are blocked, open them to eliminate any 
accumulated condensation.

 If R<100 MOhms, dry the stator in an oven and check the 
insulation resistance. If the fault persists, replace the stator.

 The stator must be replaced 5 years after installation or after 
20,000 hours of operation.

ii. Cooling check

 Ensure there is no dust or grease in the entire ventilation circuit 
(housing fins, motor cover/fan if fitted driven fan).

 Ensure the motor runs normally when switched on for a few 
minutes.

iii. Bearing check (C3 or C4 play) 

Run the motor during each maintenance visit. When the motor is cold, 
a high level of noise may be caused by the texture of the grease. This 
does not indicate a bearing fault. 
 

S2 duty only: 

The bearings must be replaced by an identical type every 5 years. 
Ensure the motor runs normally when switched on for a few minutes.

S1 duty and Emergency in S2 duty: 
a) Permanently greased bearings. 

400°C range; replace on 2 pole motors after 10,000 hours of operation 
and on motors with 4 poles or more after 20,000 hours.

b) Re-greaseable bearings 

The information on the motor nameplates must be strictly respected 
(grease quantity, grease quality and re-greasing frequency).  
The bearings must be replaced after 20,000 hours of operation.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

Ensure that all mechanical and electrical connections and fixings are 
secure and that inlet and outlet ductwork is free of any obstruction or 
debris.

Briefly switch the fan on/off to ascertain correct direction of impeller 
rotation, compare with the rotational label fitted and correct if 
necessary.

Complete the test by running the fan for approximately 15 minutes, 
taking and comparing voltage, full load and starting currents with the 
fan rating label. Monitor flexible connections to ensure no leakage and 
AV mounts for correct alignment.

It is important that maintenance checks are recorded and that the 
schedule is always adhered to, in all cases, the previous report should 
be referred to.

6.1 Routine Maintenance

Clean all areas of unit and treat any areas of corrosion.

Check all access doors for leakage and if necessary locks should be 
adjusted and any replacement gasket materials should be replaced 
as required. 

Check that safety grilles are secure and free of obstruction.

6.2 Semi-Annually 

Thoroughly inspect the unit and its components for corrosion, 
acting immediately to treat/restore any damaged areas. 

All electrical terminals within the unit should be tightened. 

Check all earth connections. 

Check resilient mounts (where applicable) and replace any that 
have any wear or deterioration.

Check motor for undue wear, signs of overheating and apply 
winding insulation and continuity tests.
