Important
The purpose of your Smoke Guard System is to reduce the risk of death or serious injury
due to vertical smoke migration in the elevator shaft during a fire.
The Smoke Guard System is designed to meet the requirements of the International
Building Code. Our manufacturing quality control programs and network of factory-
trained installers help ensure that your system functions as designed at the time of
installation.
As with other components of your fire protection system,
periodic maintenance is
required
. The building owner must inspect and test each Smoke Guard system unit at
least once every six months. Damage to the housing, improper painting of the elevator
door frame, or other factors could hinder the proper operation of your unit. Failure to
properly test and maintain your Smoke Guard System could result in death or serious
injury in the event of a fire.
