General information
During mounting or installation, there is a risk of injuries.
To avoid any possible injuries, personal protective equip-
ment (PPE) must be worn.
Fire dampers must be installed such that external forces
do not impair their permanent functioning.
Ventilation ducts must not exert significant forces on walls,
supports or ceilings and thus also on fire dampers as a re-
sult of thermal expansion (in case of fire).
Appropriate compensation measures, such as the ar-
rangement of flexible spigots (SCHAKO type FS) or a suit-
able duct routing (duct angles and distortions), must be
taken as required. National regulations must be obser-
ved and adhered to.
Prior to installing the fire damper, the possible connec-
tions of the ventilation ducts must be checked. Extension
pieces (on site or as accessories SCHAKO type VT) may be
necessary, for example, for large wall and ceiling thick-
nesses. When connecting duct components, the type of
fastening must be selected such that no damage is
caused to the fire damper or its accessories.
During mounting it may be required to provide reinforce-
ments for the housing or the like.
The requirement of statically load-bearing lintels may
have to be taken into consideration.
If a fire damper is not filled with mortar on all four sides,
installation and mounting aids on site must be removed.
Improper transport/handling may result in damage/func-
tional impairment. In addition to that, the film of the
transport packaging must be removed and the delivery in-
spected for completeness.
In storage, fire dampers must be protected from dust, dirt,
moisture and the effects of temperature (e.g. direct sunlight,
heat-emitting light source, etc.). They must not be exposed
to direct effects of the weather and must not be stored be-
low -20 °C or above 50 °C.
The fire damper must be protected from dirt and damage.
After installation is complete, any dirt must be removed im-
mediately.
Enough space must be provided for installation, mortar lin-
ing, etc.
Carry out a functional check of the fire damper before and
after mounting and ensure ready access.
Electrical installations or work on electrical components may
only be carried out by skilled electricians. The supply voltage
must be switched off when performing this work and se-
cured against being switched on again.
On the non-operating side, either fastening materials (e.g.
screws, press-in nuts, etc.) must be provided and attached
for mounting duct components prior to installation of the
BKP-EN. Alternatively, extension pieces (on site or as acces-
sories, e.g. SCHAKO type VT) can be mounted.
We would like to point out that only suitable cleaning mate-
rials may be used to clean the stainless steel version of fire
dampers!
