Introduction
This installation, operation and maintenance manual concerns
round fire and evacuation dampers, type PKIR-E60S and EK-
IR-E60S, manufactured by IMOS-Systemair. It consists of ba-
sic information and recommendations concerning the design,
installation, start-up and operation, which shall be followed to
ensure the proper failfree operation of the unit. The key to proper
and safe operating of the unit is to read this manual thoroughly,
use the damper according to its guidelines and follow all safety
requirements.
Operating Conditions
Systemair fire dampers can be defined as fire shutters for ventila-
tion ducts in the place where they pass through walls or ceilings,
which are the borders of the fire area. In case of fire, the dam-
pers function as a fire safety element and by closing they prevent
the fire and smoke from expanding through the ventilation duct
during the defined time.
•
PKI fire dampers are designed for installations in accordance
with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2
•
All fire dampers are with an electric driving mechanism as
standard.
•
They are intended for installation in places which are protected
against weather disruptions in the ducts distributing air without
any mechanical or chemical contamination in the following
operating conditions:
•
Maximum air flow velocity 12 m/s
•
Temperature within the range -10 up to 60 °C
From the noise perspective all Systemair dampers are passive.
Increased noise can only be heard when the damper is being
closed or opened in case of inspection or fire (which lasts less
than 20 seconds).
Warnings
Some damper parts can have sharp edges – therefore it is neces-
sary to use gloves during damper installation and manipulation.
In order to prevent electric shock, fire or any other damage
which could result from incorrect damper usage and operation, it
is important to:
1. Install the damper in accordance with the installation manual
and by a properly trained employee.
2. Perform damper inspection in accordance with the main-
tenance and inspection manual.
3. Before you can install the fire damper, it‘s functionality must
be checked as per chapter 3 (Fire Damper Functionality
Check). This procedure prevents installation of a damper that
has been damaged during transportation or handling.
Do not install non-functioning fire dampers!
