7. DELIVERY/TRANSPORT
Individual elements of SCD smoke dampers are transported on pallets or in factory-
made packages. Between the elements being in touch there are spacers made of
cardboard or stretch foil. Individual packets are placed in wooden containers or on pallets.
Small elements and made-up fixings are delivered in the foil packaging or in cardboard
boxes. During transport all elements should be protected against moving and weather
conditions.
After every delivery it is necessary to carry out the visual inspection of individual
elements of the set. Do not expose to mechanical damage.
The elements of SDS smoke dampers should be stored in closed spaces providing
protection against weather conditions, where
•
Relative humidity φ < 80%, at t = 20 °C
•
Ambient temperature -20
°C < t < +60 °C
•
The elements should not be in any contact with dust, gas and corrosive vapours
nor other substances that could cause corrosion.
8. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
8.1.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
The dampers are designed for mounting onto flat roofs slanted by not more than 15°.
The dampers are delivered as sets of matched elements, which makes the trouble-
free mounting possible. In exceptional cases the dampers may be delivered ready
assembled. In such a case, due to the comfort and safety of transport, the deflectors are
delivered separately. The thermal trip unit and, eventually, E ventilation actuator are
delivered separately too. Before running the device into operation all delivered elements
shall be mounted definitely, according to the Installation Manual.
When unloading it is necessary to check the compliance of delivery with element
specifications. Unloading should be done manually or by means of standard warehouse
equipment, observing all valid safety rules.
Before mounting in a system check the elements of SCD dampers for mechanical
damage. Send any defective elements back to the Manufacturer in order to have them
assessed in terms of any repair options and repaired if possible. Independent repair of
damaged elements of SCD dampers is forbidden.
Every supply includes: Element specification, Operating and Maintenance Manual
and Installation Manual
Dampers may only be installed by companies trained by Smay Sp. z o.o. within the
range of the product technical properties, terms and conditions of installation work, and the
inspection of performed works. Workers should have personal certificates issued by Smay
Sp. z o.o, with the authorization for mounting SCD dampers. The certificate is valid for
3 years after training. Moreover, they should have certified expert qualifications,
appropriate for the given scope of work, as well as certificates for carrying out operations
under specific environmental conditions.
Works associated with installation, and then operation, maintenance and service of
the dampers should be carried out in accordance with OSH regulations. In this case, work
at height is particularly dangerous. Persons, who carry out this kind of work should be
secured by means of professional equipment.
This Operation and Maintenance Manual presents the installation issues only in a
demonstrative way.
