WARNING

CAUTION

1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIO NS

Before installing and using the Smoke Screen read, follow and retain this manual and safety
instructions for future reference.

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons, or damage to the Smoke Screen:

• Do not work on the Smoke Screen unless qualified by the manufacturer to do so.

• Disconnect the mains power supply before working in the heater block compartment or

anywhere that mains voltage is indicated by the warning labels shown below.

• Install in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

• Operate the Smoke Screen only from the type of power source indicated on the label.

• Do not modify the Smoke Screen.

• Adjust only those controls specified in this manual.

• Use only consumables and replacement parts specified by the manufacturer.

• Do not spill liquid of any type on, or inside, the Smoke Screen.

The following signs, or a variation, may be used for safety notices in this manual or on the Smoke
Screen:

This type of warning note is
used to indicate possible
electrical shock hazards that
may cause serious injuries
or death.

This type of warning note is
used to indicate the
possibility of injury caused by
hazards other than electrical
shock.

1.2 HOW DOES YOUR SMOKE SCREEN WORK?

Your Smoke Screen passes a non-toxic fluid through an efficient heat exchanger to create smoke,
or more accurately a thermally generated fog, that obscures visibility, discouraging intruders from
entering your premises.

This fog is very persistent and will stay suspended in the room for a significant length of time unt il it
is vented by opening the doors and windows.

The Smoke Screen uses a sophisticated electronic control system to ensure it heats up to, and
maintains, its ideal operating temperature using a minimal amount of electricity.

This control system similarly provides a flexible interface with intruder detectors, alarm systems
and remote monitoring centres to ensure that you are always protected and free of inadvertent
activations.

Before commencing instal lation of the Smoke Screen ensure that you have all o f the following

equipment suppli ed in the box:

• 1 x Smoke Screen

• 1 x Mounting Bracket

• 1 x Swift-fit fluid reservoir

• 2 x 12v Batteries.

• 1 x Literature Pack & Warning Sign

You will also require:

• Mains power supply and connections into the Alarm Panel or other triggering system.

• PIR (or equivalent) to provide the hold-off where required.

• Optionally a Screen Sensor fo r top-up functionality

1.4 OVERVIEW

The Smoke Screen is designed to form part of an ex istin g intruder alar m syste m but m ay also be
configured as a ‘stand-alone’ system or as part of a cent rally monitored , comm and and con trol sy stem .
A typical installation is sho wn i n the following schematic:

1.5 TYPICAL INSTALLATION

A typical installation can be configured in the following way:

• The Smoke Scre en is wall or ceiling mounted in the appropriate location.

• A Hold-off PIR (or similar device) located within the same area as the Smoke Screen providing

a confirmation signal to the Smoke Screen to start, or re-start, ‘smoke’ production.

• A Set command supplied by an Alarm Control Panel, or equivalent, in the form of an N/C
(Normally closed) or an N/O (Normally open) relay changing state when the Alarm system is
set for operation.

Page 6 of 30

• A Trigger command supplied by the Alarm Control Panel, or equivalent, in the form of an N/C
(Normally closed) or an N/O (Normally open) relay changing state when the Alarm system
confirms an intruder alert.

2.1 POSITIONING

The Smoke Scre en should ideally be sited in a covert position away from prying eyes and thereby
reducing the possibility of tamper or an attack. The ideal place for the Smoke Screen is above a
ceiling from where the smoke plume is used to its best effect, bursting on the ground and
spreading outwards and upwards through 360°. If no suitable ceiling location is available then the
next best location is a wall mounting as close to ceiling height as possible.

Wall-mounting.

The optimum wall mounting position for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor facing the
area to be protected and using an appropriate angle nozzle. The maximum recommended
mounting-height above floor level is 3 metres, the minimum is 1 metre and there should be no
obstacle within 1 metre of the smoke output nozzle.

Ceiling-mounting.

The optimum ceiling mounting height for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor over the
area to be protected and using a straight nozzle. The maximum recommended mounting-height
above floor level is 3 metres and there should be no obstacle within 1 metre of the smoke output
nozzle.

Page 7 of 30

2.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDUR E

1. Site the Smoke Screen, fix to the wall or ceiling as appropriate.

2. For wall mounting leave minimum 150mm clearance on all sides of the generator.

3. Make connections as required to the Alarm Panel and Hold-off PIR.

4. Make connection to the Smoke Screen Interface (if used) and set the key switch to isolate.

5. Connect mains power.

6. The Sm oke Scre en will heat up to operating temperature in approximately 20 minutes.

7. Make relevant programming settings and set smoke timing for the specified room size.

8. With the power applied insert and connect the fluid consumable.

9. Make sure all tamper switches are closed and you are ready for test.

2.3 ACCESS

1 2 3

To access the PCB connections, programming panel and mounting holes (battery and fluid access
is covered in the relevant sections) remove the front cover by unscrewing the 2 set screws on
either side and unhooking it from the top of the case; refitting is the reverse process. Installation
cable entry is through the serrated grommet on the left back of the case.

2.4 MOUNTING

The Smoke Screen can be mounted on a ceiling or a w all using the simple standard brac ket supplied
with the unit. This flush-fitting bracket maximizes security by concealing all the mounting fastenings
such that they can only be acce ssed, o r the S moke Screen dismounted, by di smantling the uni t.
Moreover, the Smoke Sc reen has a ta mper pro tection sw itch to provide an al ert in the unlikely event that
it is disturbed. In all cases, the installer must attach the Smoke Screen to the building structure using
appropriate fasteners.

NB: When mounting the Smoke Screen ensure that the airflow through the vent holes in the rear
of the unit is no t obstruc ted.

Wall and ceiling mounting

Ceiling or wall mounting is the same process except that rather than fixing the Smoke Screen
direct to a ceiling an intermediate unistrut section may be used or it can be suspended as
described in the next section. Attach the bracket to the wall or ceiling using appropriate fixings (1).
Carefully hook the slots on the back of the Smoke Screen onto the bracket (2) and slide along to
align the screw fixing holes. The unit will now hang on the bracket. Fit, and ensure tight, 4 x M6
set screws with washers in the holes in the back of the Smoke Screen alongside each mounting
slot (3) - access to the fixing holes is through the fluid and heater block compartments.

Suspending the Smoke Screen is achieved using a ‘Suspension Kit’ comprising a length of Uni­strut, two sections of threaded bar and fixings (4). Prepare the Smoke Screen by fitting the angle
brackets as described above. Fix the required length of M8 threaded bar to the bracket using 4 x
nuts and 4 x 25mm washers (5). Fix the uni-strut into place. There are a range of fixings to
accommodate concrete ceiling, girders etc; if in doubt contact the fixing supplier. Attach the
threaded bar to the uni-strut using the channel nuts, 38mm washers and M8 nuts (6). Once this is
done the Smoke Screen can be lifted into position and the set screws tightened as above (3). Any
fine adjustments can be made at this stage as the nuts and the threaded bar will take the weight of
the Smoke Screen. The final assembly, viewed ‘through the ceiling’ is in photo (7).

2.5 NOZZLE CHANGING

WARNING

To change the nozzle, first remove the front cover then remove, and replace, the nozzle using a
12mm ring spanner. Always use a new PTFE tape (S35/S55) or a new copper washer
(S70/TI70/TI100) and ensuring that an angled nozzle is seated in the correct orientation. The

Smoke Screen is delivered with a single-hole straight nozzle and the following are also available –
2-hole horizontal, 3-hole horizontal, 1-hole 30 deg angle down and 2-hole 30 deg angle down.

3.1 CONTROLLING THE SMOKE

Inputs. There are 6 sets of input control connections on the Smoke Screen that control activation -

Alarm Set (Z1), Trigger (Z2), Top-Up (Z3), Hold Off (Z4), Panic (Z5) and Isola te (Z6). These input pins
should be connected to the PCB Ground throu gh clean contacts and can be programmed to “Normally
closed”, “Close = Alarm”, a variety of E OL resistance settings or “input not used”.

Starting an activation. The Smoke Screen will produce ‘ smo ke’ in the following 3 circumstances:

• The 3 connections normall y used in an ins tallation, i .e. Alarm Set (Z1), Trigge r (Z2), and Hold

Off (Z4) (if selected to on) must all be in alarm.
or

• The Panic (Z5) connection must change sta te from restore to an alarm condition. This inpu t is an

edge input and will not trigger a genera tor if it is alre ady i n its alar m condition w hen the genera tor
reaches a “ready” state.

or

• The Alarm Set (Z1) and a tamper are in alar m.

Stopping an activation. Once activated the Smoke Screen will stop producing ‘smo ke’ before the end
of the programmed smoke time only if the Alarm Set (Z1) is selected to a n on-alarm state; in the event of
a Panic activation it may be nece ssary to cycle th e A larm Set (Z1) to “on” then “off”. If ‘Hold-O ff’ is
closed during an activation the S moke Sc reen w il l continue to produce smo ke for the set S moke Time.

Re-triggering smoke (Hold-off attached and set to “On”). If, after it has made smoke for the set time
and reached the end of it’s p rogrammed “Smo ke on” time, the Smoke Screen receiv es anothe r hold -off
alarm while both ‘Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs remain open, it w ill ‘re-trigger’ and make smoke again. The
re-trigger smoke time, as a % of the smoke time set, and the number of repea ts are se t in t he Ins taller
menu.

Preventing an activation. To prevent the S moke S creen from making s moke unde r any
circumstances:

• Select Isolate to “On” in the Installer menu .

or

• Select programmable Z6 to “Isolate” and eithe r conn ect (if se t to ‘cl ose = Alarm ’) or disc onnect (if

set to ‘Normally closed’) the zone from Ground. This i nput is an edge i nput and care must be
taken that when the generator is first ins talled, the input is correctly confi gured to avoid
unintended effects.

3.2 OUTPUTS

Outputs. Clean contact outputs are provided for connection to the Alarm Panel for ‘Ready’,

‘Tamper’, ‘Battery Failure’, ‘Mains Failure’, ‘Fluid Low’, ‘Fluid Empty’, ‘Making Smoke’. There are
also 3 programmable clean contact outputs (PGM 1, PGM 2 and PGM 3) that can be set to
"Disabled", "Follow Trouble", "Follow Run Dry", "Follow Isolate", "Timer Relay" or "Follow Zone".

Page 13 of 30

5.1 SCREEN SENSOR

A Concept Smoke Screen “Screen Sensor” can be used on Zone 3 of the Titanium. When this is
integrated, the system detects a drop in the fog density in the protected area and will re-trigger the
Titanium to maintain the fog level. To ensur e that an installer can set an appropriate “top up” of fog
and avoid overdosing the area the Titanium can be programmed to limit the number of times the
Screen Sensor can initiate a re-trigger. Moreover, the re-trigger “on time” can also be set as a
percentage of the normal running time.

NB: It is critical that the Screen Sensor is installed in an area that receives the maximum fog
coverage. It will not operate correctly if this is not achieved.

5.2 ENERGY SAVING MO DE ( ESM )

There are 3 settings for ESM – “Off” , “ On” and “Extreme ”.

“Off”. When ES M is set to “Off” the Smoke Screen maintains full operating temperature at
all times.

“On”. When ESM is set to “On” and the Alarm Panel input to the Smoke Screen is “Unset”
the Smoke Screen lowers its running temperature to a standby level to reduce power
consumption and cost. When the Smoke Screen receives an “Alarm Set” input it
automatically heats to its normal operating temperature. The Smoke Screen is capable of
satisfying an activation demand immediately after the Alarm Panel is “Set”.

“Extreme”. With ESM to “Extreme” and the Alarm Panel input to the Smoke Screen is
“Unset” the Smoke Screen goes cold and reheats to operating temperature when it
receives an “Alarm Set” input.

NB: IN “EXTREME” ESM MODE THE SMOKE SCREEN WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE
SMOKE FOR THE FIRST 20-30 MINUTES AFTER THE ALARM PANEL IS “SET”.

5.3 ISOLATE MODE

To prevent the Smoke Screen from making smoke whilst work is conducted with power applied it
can be put into a servicing mode by selecting the “Isolate” function at the start of the Installer
Configuration Menu to ‘on’.

FAILURE TO DISABLE ISOLATE WHEN NO LONGER REQUIRED WILL PREVENT THE
SMOKE SCREEN OPERATING.

5.4 TAMPER

There are 4 internal tamper circuits on the Smoke Screen, one on each cover (front, battery and
fluid) and one through the rear of the case for a bracket tamper. There is also an external tamper
input on the PCB for the monitoring of peripheral devices. On a tamper alarm t he Smoke S creen
provides an output indication of the event and automatically activates if the Zone 1 (Set ) is in
alarm. If the Smoke Screen is not mounted on its bracket the bracket tamper should be by-passed
to prevent unwanted tamper warnings.

Page 14 of 30

Removal and replacement. To remove the batteries, open the access

intending to use the battery facility.

5.5 FLUID MANAGEMENT

The Smoke Screen has a replaceable 1 litre fluid reservoir (using Fluid R, also known as p roduct code
SFL-1000) that is accesse d by remov ing the cover o n the right-hand side of the unit. The fluid l evel is
monitored using sensors in the fluid reservoir.

Fluid Replenish: Obtain a replacement fluid reservoir from your Smoke Screen supplier (a
discount is available if the empty container is returned). Open the right-hand access panel. Lift the
reservoir out of the compartment by removing the lower end first (see photo below). Disconnect
the fluid monitoring cable and the fluid feed pipe (pull collar to release). Refit ting the reservo i r is
the reverse of the removal process.

5.6 BATTERY MANAG EMEN T

Operation. The Smoke Screen is fitted with a battery to provide power to the electronic circuits

and pump (not to the fluid heater) in the event of a mains power failure. This ensures that a
minimum of 90 minutes after a mains power failure at an ambient temperature of 20 deg C the
Smoke Screen can provide a minimum 30 second activation. The Smoke Screen is capable of
activating in the event of a battery fault or if the batter ies are not fitted. The Smoke S creen is
supplied with a set of batteries but they are not fitted on delivery. Replacement batteries may be
obtained from your Smoke Screen installer or Concept Smoke Screen.

and replace with new units ensuring that the battery is upright and the
contacts enter the battery compartment first.

Battery Switch. The Smoke Screen has a switch in the battery
compartment to permit the batteries to be disconnected from the system
whilst remaining in place. The delivery setting is “Off” ; select to “On” if

5.7 Enhanced Communi c ation and integrat i on

All Titanium Smoke Screen generators equipped with HW V6 have a number of additional and
enhanced communication options. These are provided over and above the communication
available at the standard contacts.

The generators provide the following:

- SNMPv3 communication over IP and RS485 serial bus

- Master and slave functionality over RS485 serial bus

These communications features can be used in the following ways:

5.7.1 SNMPv3

SNMPv3 IP communication allows the Smoke Screen to be fully integrated with any PSIM solution
which supports this protocol. Additionally, connection to a dedicated SmokeNet server is possible
allowing full remot e command and control capability of the Smoke Screen system. It is also
possible for Smoke Screen installers to remotely diagnose and configure Smoke Screen systems
using the TitanConfig application.

N.B. important – when making changes to IP addresses, the system must be restarted in
order for the change to be registered. To restart the system use the command from the
installer menu.

5.7.2 RS485 serial bus

When this is utilized, one Smoke Screen can be set as the Master system which will then control
up to 9 slaves on the same bus. It is possible to chain many more using a SmokeIPXL.

When making use of this feature, the following things become true:

1. The master SSM operates as a global input and output point for the controlling alarm

system (where used).
In this scenario, any attached slave system that develops a local fault, will trigger a global
fault at the master.
The slaves will follow the “Set” and “Trigger” status of the master and will then operate
when they detect movement on a locally attached hold off detector. If “hold-off chain” is
selected on the master, a slave that detects a hold off alarm, will pass the signal to all
attached generators (including the master) and the whole system will trigger.
Equally, if “Panic propagate” is selected at the master, a triggered panic input at the master
or any attached slave, will trigger the whole chain. When this is de-selected, each panic
input will operate only the SSM it is attached to.

2. The master generator is capable of providing full information over a serial connection

relating to the condition of itself and all of the attached slaves to TitanConfig. This can then
be displayed as a wall of information providing easy visual information of the entire system.
See TitanConfig manuals for more information on this feature.

3. When using the onboard RS485 bus in a master/slave configuration, the amount of

attached slaves must be set at the master, and each slave must have a unique address
assigned from Slave 1-9 in sequence. For instance, It is not possible to assign slaves 1,2
& 3 and jump to 5 without assigning slave 4.

4. It is not possible to have 2 masters on the same bus – each assignment must be unique.

6.1 TESTING

Full alarm test. Where possible a full alarm test should be conducted to chec k that all inpu ts, outputs

and wiring connections to the Smo ke Screen are cor rect. If a PIR or other detector is fitted the Smoke
Screen will fire for the designated Smoke Time period once the ‘Set’, ‘Trigger’ and ‘Hold Off’ (if fitted)
contacts are open. It will stop producin g smoke i f the ‘Set’ contacts are closed.

been in service the heater
block and connected parts
will be extremely hot and will
cause injury if touched.
Therefore, t he Smoke
Screen should be switched

The TCO can be reset using the following procedure:

• Make sure the mains power to the machine is turned off before resetting the TCO.

• Reset the TCO by pressing on the little button on the top area. If the thermal device has

tripped it should be possible to hear a click when it resets.

• Switch on the mains power after resetting.

• Check the machine heats up to normal operating temperature and make sure it archives a

ready state. See the operating “LCD, LED and Sound Indications” for further information on
fault indications.

Note: The position of the TCO can be different depending on the machine version. The location

pictured is for an TI70/TI100 HW V6.

7.3 ACTION AFTER EVERY ACTIVATION

• Wait until the smoke production has ceased. Do not try to enter the affected area as you
will not be able to see through the fog.

• Look for signs of forced entry. If you find any, or you believe that intruders are on the
premises, call the Police and wait for them to arrive. Take no further action.

• Where there are no signs of forced entry, open all external doors and wait for the fog to
start clearing – this may take 10 to 15 minutes. Keep watch for intruders that may have
been screened by the fog.

• As visibility returns open more doors or windows to speed up the venting process.

• Check the fluid level for the Smoke Screen by checking the appropriate LEDs as described

above. It is recommended that the installer or Concept Smoke Screen are requested to
service/replenish the Smoke Screen if there have been 2 or more activations of the Smoke
Screen.

7.4 SERVICING AND FLUID REPLENISHMENT

Please note that it is a requirement of the standards relating to security fogging devices the Smoke
Screen is serviced/replenished by an engineer certified by the manufacturer. If you are unsure,
ask the engineer for his certification ID card. It is recommended that the Smoke Screen is checked
and the fluid changed annually by the installer or Concept Smoke Screen. Always ensure that the
Smoke Screen has sufficient fluid or it will not produce smoke when needed. It is recommended
that the installer or Concept Smoke Screen are requested to service/replenish the Smoke Scree n if
there have been 2 or more activations of the Smoke Scre en.

WARNING - only Smoke Screen fluid should be used as other smoke fluids may cause damage or
noxious fumes.

8.1 FAQ

Q: The Smoke Screen is indicating it is ready to operate but does not respond to a full alarm

test.
A. Ensure the smoke machine is not isolated.
A: With power applied, and keeping clear of the smoke nozzle, disconnect the

“Alarm”/”Trigger” and “Hold Off” connection plugs from the PCB. If the Smoke
Screen produces smoke there is a miss-connection in the system wiring.

Q: Th e Smoke Sc reen is puffing out smoke whilst heating up.

A: This is the result of very small amounts of air and residual fluid in the heater block

being changed into an insignificant volume of smoke and can happen particularly
after the Smoke Screen has been moved about when cold.
