Introduction

The activation mechanism for PKIR and PKIS re dampers is a crucial part of the damper. Its purpose is
to drive the re damper blade between the open and closed positions. In case of emergency, AM-PKI will
close the damper blade and remain closed to fulll classication parameters of the re damper. Activation
mechanism types for PKIR and PKIS dampers are interchangeable with some degree of compatibility.

The AM-PKI activation mechanism is suitable for PKIR and PKIS re dampers.

Warnings

Some damper parts may have sharp edges; therefore, to protect yourself from injury, please use gloves during
damper installation and manipulation. To prevent electric shock, re or any other damage which could result
from incorrect damper usage and operation, it is important to:

1. ensure that installation is performed by a trained person.

2. closely follow the written and depicted instructions provided within this User Manual.

3. perform damper inspection in accordance with this User Manual.

4. check the damper’s functionality as per the chapter “Fire Damper Functionality Check” before you install

the re damper. This procedure prevents the installation of a damper that has been damaged during

transportation or handling.

Compatibility Check

Before installing an AM-PKI accessory, check the mechanism compatibility by comparing the 3-digit code provided
on the AM-PKI label with codes listed on the re damper body label. If your re damper label has your mechanism
compatibility code listed, the mechanism can be installed.

Use the AM-PKI Selector

IMPORTANT:

Fire dampers are delivered
with an order-specied activation
mechanism by default.

Use this accessory in case of a future

on-site damper upgrade.

1. To remove the activation mechanism, the damper blade must be in the closed position (B).
Look for a small black plug (A) sitting ush with the damper body.

2. Remove the screw sunken inside a red lever with a screwdriver (B).
Do not remove the plastic plug (A) if you change to a different manually operated activation mechanism.

If you change to an actuator operated activation mechanism, use a at screwdriver or a knife and force the plastic

plug out of the hole (A).

Installing the Activation Mechanism

Manually Operated Activation Mechanism

For installing the activation mechanism, the blade must be in the closed position. You should clearly see the coulisse

slot hole. It is recommended to inspect the free movement of the blade and the closure gasket for its condition.

Fig. 6: (part 1/2) Manually operated activation mechanism installation

1. The damper blade must be in the closed position. (A) Find the three small holes that were uncovered
after the actuator fuse removal. Slightly rotate the mechanism to avoid bumping into the damper body (B).

2. Press the fuse opening cover with the foam side onto the damper body and align it with the two smaller holes (A).

While inserting the mechanism, make sure you align and t the lever pin into the coulisse (B).

3. Insert two rivets or screws into the holes (A). Insert nuts in the two opposite corners as shown and x
with maximal torque of 2 Nm. Make sure to add a serrated washer under one of the nuts (B).

4. Fix the two rivets in place (A). Insert the cover by pulling the cable through the gasket in the mechanism’s
plastic cover (B).

For installing the activation mechanism, the blade must be in the closed position. You should clearly see the coulisse

slot hole. It is recommended to inspect the free movement of the blade and the closure gasket for its condition.

Fig. 7: (part 1/2) Actuator operated activation mechanism installation

1. Look for a small black plug sitting ush with the damper body (A). Make sure the gaskets around the damper’s
mechanism opening are in usable condition (B)

2. Use a at screwdriver or a knife and force the plastic plug out of the hole (A). Slightly rotate the mechanism
to avoid bumping into the damper body (B).

3. Fit the actuator thermal fuse into the opening (A). While inserting the mechanism, make sure you align and t
the lever pin into the coulisse (B).

4. Align the fuse with the damper body and x it in place with the two included screws (A). Insert four nuts

onto the threaded pins welded onto the damper’s body (B).

5. Through the inspection opening check that the lever is tted in the coulisse. Fix the four nuts on the mechanism
with maximal torque of 2 Nm (B).

Set the Damper into Operation

After the mechanism installation, it is necessary to adjust the damper into its operating position – open the re damper.

Manually Operated Activation Mechanism

Fig. 8: Manually operated activation mechanism set into operation

1. Turn the mechanism lever into the “OPEN” position using hexagon bent wrench size 10 (wrench not included

in the packaging). If the installation was done correctly, the damper blade should open.

Through the inspection opening, inspect the correct position of the damper and the smooth movement

of the blade. It is now possible to connect the mechanism to the power supply if the mechanism is tted
with switches and/or an electromagnet. The control system must signal the damper blade’s open position.

IMPORTANT: Log the mechanism change in the Operation Journal of the re damper.
Make sure to change the mechanism type on the damper label (e.g. from ZV to DV1-2) by sticking
the included sticker on the existing label.

Fire Damper Functionality Check

Manually Operated Activation Mechanism

1. Open the damper - turn the red lever (2) using a hexagon bent wrench No. 10 (5). Turn the red lever so
that the indicator arrow is pointing to the “OPEN“ position (3). The red lever needs to remain in the “OPEN“
position, and the microswitch for the open position indication must be pushed (if installed).

2. Close the damper – release the mechanism by pressing the red release knob (1), the red lever will adjust its
indicator arrow pointing to the “CLOSED“ position (4) and remain locked in this position, the microswitch

for the closed position indication must be pushed (if installed).

3. Open the damper - turn the red lever (2) using a hexagon bent wrench No. 10 (wrench not included
in the packaging). Turn the red lever so

that the indicator arrow is pointing to the “OPEN“ position. The red lever needs to remain in the “OPEN“ position,
and the microswitch for the open position indication must be pushed (if installed).

Warranty Conditions

For warranty conditions, contact your local Systemair representative.

Before you approve the re damper for service, its functionality must be tested

as per the “Fire Damper Functionality Check” chapter.

MAKE SURE THE DAMPER CAN PROPERLY CLOSE AFTER THE MECHANISM HAS BEEN CHANGED!

Actuator Operated Activation Mechanism

1. The re damper must open automatically after the actuator circuit closes – the arrow on the actuator axis
must show the 90° position.

2. Press the control switch (1) on the thermal fuse (Fig. 11) and hold it until the re damper is fully closed
– the arrow on the actuator axis must show the 0° position.

3. Release the control switch on the thermal fuse. The re damper must become fully open/the evacuation damper
must be fully closed – the arrow on the actuator axis must show the 90° position - which is the operating position.
