Introduction
Advanced Air (UK) Ltd have been manufacturing a comprehensive range of fire dampers and fire smoke
dampers since 1975. We have always taken pride in our products and tested to the highest standards,
originally to BS476 and now more stringent testing to CE labelling under the Construction Product Regulation
which was introduced 1st July 2013.
All our fire, fire smoke and smoke control dampers have been tested to BS EN 1366-2 and BS EN 1366-10.
This is to cover a variety of installations used on sites today. Under CE labelling all dampers must follow the
Product Standards BS EN 15650 and BS EN 12101-8 which ensures the product is consistent and supplied to
the same specification and standard as tested. Any deviation or changes from the installations in this manual
would require the dampers to be subject to a new test or approval sought from Local Building Control.
In line with product standards we are pleased to offer this installation manual covering installation, operation
and maintenance instructions together with Health and Safety information. We have also included within this
manual an example of the Fire Damper Checklist DW145 Inspection and Handover Check Sheet which is to
be completed by the installer. A separate certificate is required per damper.
The installation contained in this manual cover most installation on site. However, there are still installation
which Advanced Air (UK) Ltd have not yet tested. We are continually reviewing requirements and continuously
developing the products. As additional installation tests are carried out and classified, installations will be
added to this manual, and the Declaration of Performance (DoP) updated accordingly.
Health and Safety
Any instruction contained within this manual must be undertaken by competent trained personnel. When
completing the installation standard PPE should be used, steel toe cap boots, hard hat, gloves, protective
eyewear along with any other specific site or material instructions.
The size and weight of dampers vary, and it may require two or more persons to safely handle and move
them. Do not lift the dampers by the blades or the actuator.
For the installation of dampers at high level, the correct lifting equipment shall be used in accordance with
the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and specific site rules.
All waste materials should be collected and disposed of defined by the suppliers.
