INTRODUCTION

Why do you need to foresee Smoke and Heat Extraction (SHE)?

In case of re, it is not the re itself, but the smoke gasses that make most victims. The heat and smoke gasses ll the building, which complicates evacuation. Skylux developed different natural SHE systems which create smoke free zones and bring down temperature during re, which enables a quick and safe evacuation.

SHE systems are legally required in specic buildings. In such buildings, only CE certied systems, in accordance with European (and Belgian) norms, are allowed to be used.

At the same time, our SHE systems provide free natural daylight and daily ventilation.

Skylux‘ SHE systems:

Each of these SHE systems can be operated by a Skycom® CE Master control, possibly in combination with a Skycom® CE Slave control. We developed also a control unit fort he Skymax® CE : the Skycom® Skymax® CE control.

The SHE survey (p. 4) mentions the combinations of control units and smoke hatches allowed and supported by Skylux.

SHE TABLE

1. The SHE-control must be installed or serviced by a qualied person, authorised for working at electrical Smoke and Heat Extraction systems. The control and accessories must be installed according to the local norms.

2. Service! Before installation or service disconnect electrical power and remove the indicated terminal of the battery. Afterwards reconnect the terminal, mount the housing before switching on electrical power. Now you can test the complete installation.

3. Service of opening system: Before servicing the opening system, make sure the opening system can not start to move unexpectedly. Therefore remove the 8 A glass-fuse before starting service at the opening system. This disables the main supply and the battery supply of the opening system.

4. Batteries:

- To avoid explosion danger follow these safety rules:

• Never short circuit a battery.

• Do not use external chargers. Explosive gasses can be released.

• Always handle batteries with care as they contain strong acids.

- Avoid to store controls with batteries for a long time. Batteries which are not used must be recharged (unload & load) every 3 months to slow down the capacity loss.

- Don’t discharge batteries to deep as they might be damaged.

- There is no guarantee on batteries.

5. Guarantee expires:

• If controls or cables (especially motor cable) are wrongly dimensioned;

• If non-original parts are used. Use only original parts delivered by AG.Plastics. Especially take care to use a control which is suitable for the SHE opening system;

• If opening systems are not connected according the installation instructions. Most opening systems must be connected through a limit switch. Please consult thoroughly the electric scheme of the appropriate SHE system before connection.

6. Next to the installation of a SHE system, make sure you take all necessary steps to be able to proceed to a smooth evacuation. Foresee several escape routes, make sure the remen can reach easily the re place. See to the possibility of a quick signal to the re department in case of re by a full re detection system,… Consult your architect, constructor and re-department.

7. The SHE-system needs mains voltage. In case of power failure, the system will continue to operate on its batteries in a limited period of time (min 72 h).

8. Mains power failure g putting out of service: If the mains voltage is switched off for a longer period of time (> 1 day), disconnect the indicated pin of the battery and insulate the wire end. Otherwise, you will risk that the batteries discharge and will be damaged.

9. There is a possibility that the smoke does not reach the detector due to chimney effects through walls, shafts, roofs. Also behind a closed door or at another oorlevel may the smoke not be detected. A detector may be less sensitive to certain types of re so that the signal is given in a later phase. Make sure to install sufficient detectors at right places.

10. It may occur that the opening system is not correctly operated due to a panic situation in case of re.

11. The SHE-control does not protect people or objects from being stuck when the actuators are activated. This must be done externally.

12. The manufacturer is not responsible for the loss of a life or materials caused by re, smoke, wind, rain, … even when the rain- and wind detector is connected. Make sure no damage (wind, rain, …) can be caused during uncontrolled open- ing of the system.

13. The SHE-control and accessories must not be used as connector box for cables ! Use an external connector box.

14. The wiring for the accessories (re push buttons, detectors, prior key contact, ...) must be at least 1 m off other current wires (not in the same wire drain) to prevent from interference.

15. We reserve the right to modify this manual or the products without prior notice. You can always check the newest ver- sion on www.agplastics.com.

16. The responsible person must keep this manual, if possible near the control unit.

17. In particular cases due to fall-through safety, it’s forbidden to open the smoke hatches more than 30 cm for ventilation.

The Skycom CE controls are intended for opening of skylights, smoke hatches, ... for Smoke and Heat Extraction (SHE) and comfort ventilation of 1 re zone.

The Skycom Skymax CE control is typically used to command 1 Skymax smoke hatch in a staircase. The Skycom Skymax control has the following operation possibilities (upon accessories):

Operation for Smoke and Heat Extraction (control in Alarm-status):

1. Automatically activated: by smoke or heat detectors. Each control has also an internal T-sensor which generates alarm at 75°C.

2. Activated by passer-by: on ‘break-glass’ re-switches

3. Operation by remen: possibility for priority open and close on the priority switch for remen

Operation for comfort ventilation:

Activated by opening-closing switches (push buttons) or by weekly timer, room thermostat, outdoor weather sensor.

The operation status (OK / alarm / fault / smoke hatch open) is indicated by Led’s and is also available on outputs for connection with other systems (AFA-systems, Air-gates, buzzer, ...) in the building.

We advise to consult your re department to choose the best installation place fort all SHE accessories. You’ll nd an example on page 7. Generally, install the control panel for the remen (prior switch) at a visible place and easy to be reached, on the access road of the remen with the bottom at 1,35 - 1,45 m above the oor in the entrance hall of the (main) building.

The Skycom Skymax CE Slave control must be installed as close as possible (max. 5 m) to the opening system, i.e. at the ceiling of the building or against the roof opening.

The control unit weights 7,5 kg and must be installed on a stable underground. The mounting holes for wall mounting are placed on the metal plate underneath the plastic lid.

Foresee (at least) a separate 230V power circuit with its own automatic circuit breaker for each re zone. Don’t connect other devices to this circuit!

It is sometimes required to supply the control unit with a 230V circuit with separate earth leakage circuit breaker and that a circuit breaker is installed on the actuator line.

Connection, operation and settings

Motor (actuator)

The actuators must be connected to output terminals 2-3. The max. load is 5A. It is possible to disable the line monitoring on the motor output. The cables can be connected in series or parallel or a combination of these (see drawings motor and electrical schemes). It is important to keep the right polarity. The motors of most systems must be connected via a limit switch - see electrical scheme of the specic opening system. See table at the end for cable sections and max. motor cable length.

Cable monitoring (line monitoring) on the motor output

The control is equipped with 3 possible settings for cable monitoring (line monitoring), which can be congured by means of jumper J2.

a. Jumper J2 mounted in pos. “Motor line” (Setting for Skylux® 160° CE, Skymax® CE old and new and Cintramax® CE)

Known motor: line monitoring (2-3) with double wired motor connexion. Jumper J3 (actuator output) is set according to the number of termination resistors (27KΩ) to be detected – 1 to max. 4 lines can be detected by moving jumper J3 – this means that the cable installation between the control unit and the motors can be established in series connection (cable connection from smoke hatch 1, further to smoke hatch 2, etc.), or parallel connection (cable connection from each smoke hatch to the control), or a combination of these. However, as mentioned max. 4 different lines can be detected, each of them connected to the end resistor of 27KΩ.
