Upon receipt of unit - Before signing for the delivery
Flourescent yellow stickers are attached to every package we
despatch detailing receipt instructions and what to do if your goods
are damaged.
The instructions on this must be followed or HVC will not be able to
assist with any claims for damage.
Prior to installation
If damper is to be stored on site, ensure it is stored in a clean and
dry environment.
Immediately prior to fitment, remove all packaging from the unit. Take
particular care inspecting the inside of the unit for any packing
materials which may disrupt damper operation.
Installation
Fire damper installation should only be carried out by competant
persons. As life safety devices, correct operation is reliant on correct
installation.
Damper edges can be sharp. PPE should be used when handling.
Larger dampers can be very heavy, ensure suitable lifting methods
are used to help prevent injury.
Adjacent dampers should be positioned not less than 200mm apart
at their extremities.
Remove the safety cable tie around the fusible link. Failure to remove
this will render the damper inoperable.
For detailed installation instructions see the following page.
Operation
Fusible link fire dampers are designed to operate without any
command from an operator or building maintenance system (unless
equipped with an electromagnet or solenoid).
Fusible links will release at the temperature embossed onto the link
body.
The use of electromagnets and solenoids enables the damper to be
operated remotely, even when the damper itself is not being exposed
to elevated temperatures.
The activation command may originate from an automated command
or a human operator through the building maintenance system.
Once the damper has been shut, it can only be opened by hand.
Once exposed to elevated temperatures/flames resulting in the
damper closing, the damper must be replaced.
Spares
A spare amount of replacement fusible links should be kept on site.
