Check delivered items immediately after arrival for
transport damage and completeness. In case of any
damage or an incomplete shipment, contact the shipping company and your supplier immediately.
A complete shipment includes:

Installation and operating manual (one per ship-
ment)
Transport on site
If possible, take the smoke control damper in its transport packaging up to the installation location.
Smaller dampers can be lifted and placed in the installation opening by two people. Ask someone to give you a
hand.
Dampers which are supplied with U channel sections as
a transport aid have to be moved with suitable lifting
equipment, e.g. a forklift truck.
1.Unpack the damper and place it upright on the
floor. Do not remove the straps yet.
2.Place the U channel sections between the uppermost blade and the frame.
3.Move the fork carefully underneath the uppermost
blade, then lift it. Put a piece of wood or anything
similar between the blade and the fork so as not to
damage the blade.

Transport and storage
Carefully lift the smoke control damper with the
forklift truck and place it in the installation opening.
4.Once you have installed the smoke control
damper, remove the straps; in case of mortarbased installation, remove the straps only after the
mortar has cured. Remove the corner protectors.
Dispose of the straps and corner protectors.
Storage
If the unit has to be stored temporarily:
Remove any plastic wrapping.
Protect the unit from dust and contamination.
Store the unit in a dry place and away from direct

Parts and function
4 Parts and function
Smoke control dampers are used in mechanical smoke
extract systems. They are used for extracting smoke
gases and for providing additional supply air to one or
more fire compartments.
Smoke control dampers are made from calcium silicate
boards, and the electric actuator and the optional control module are encased such that the functional reliability is ensured even in the event of a fire.
Regular maintenance of the smoke control damper is
required to ensure its functional reliability

During normal operation Type EK-JZ smoke control
dampers remain closed. For smoke extract, the smoke
control dampers in the affected fire compartment fully
open such that smoke can be extracted. All other smoke
control dampers remain closed.
In the event of a fire, smoke control dampers that are
used as additional supply air inlets in the affected fire
compartment also open such that smoke can be
extracted. T
free from smoke, smoke control dampers used as additional supply air inlets should be installed near the
ground.
The control input signal for the actuator may come from
a duct smoke detector or from the central fire alarm
system. Using cables with specific circuit integrity for the
supply voltage ensures that the actuator is supplied with
voltage even in the event of a fire and hence that its
function and the communication are maintained.
Ventilation
During ventilation operation the smoke control dampers
of the smoke extract system remain fully open. Smoke
control dampers which are used as additional supply air
inlets remain closed during ventilation operation.
Depending on where the dampers are installed, countryspecific regulations may apply to ventilation applications.

Please note:
Smoke control damper and electric actuator must
remain accessible for maintenance.
Make sure that no loads are imposed on the casing
as this may impair the function of the smoke control
damper.
Install the smoke control damper without torsion.
Mortar-based installation: The installation gap must
be large enough such that mortar can be filled in
even in case of thicker walls.
Before installation: Perform a functional test and
close the smoke control damper.
Installation position
The smoke control damper has to be installed such that
the damper blade shaft is horizontal. The actuator
encasing has to remain accessible even after installation. The actuator encasing has to be on the right side
of the damper.

General safety notes

Wiring and connection to the central BMS
Personnel:
Skilled qualified electrician
24 V actuators with AS-i module
The connecting cables of the AS-i module are fitted with
wire end ferrules.
Electric cables and system
For manual release (MA), the electric cables and
system must have at least 30 minutes circuit integrity.
For manual release (MA) we recommend using a
ceramic terminal to connect the AS-i cable to the
actuator cable or to the cable of the AS-i module.
Note: Feeding the electric connecting cable through the
actuator encasing requires a drilled hole of the exact
∅ cable + 1 mm). Note that the cable must not be
size (
fed through the cover. A wire clamping bracket is
required.

The smoke control damper may be equipped with a
230 V AC or a 24 V AC/DC actuator. See the performance data on the rating plate.
The actuator must be connected according to the
wiring example shown. Several actuators can be
connected in parallel as long as the performance
specifications are taken into consideration.

Actuators with 24 V AC/DC
Safety transformers must be used. The connecting
cables are fitted with plugs. This ensures quick and
easy connection to the TROX AS-i bus system. For connection to the terminals, shorten the connecting cable.

General safety notes
DANGER!
Danger of electric shock! Do not touch any live components! Electrical equipment carries a dangerous
electrical voltage.
–Only skilled qualified electricians are allowed to
work on the electrical system.
–Switch off the power supply before working on
any electrical equipment.
CAUTION!
Danger due to inadvertently actuating the smoke
control damper. Inadvertent actuation of the damper
blade or other parts can lead to injuries.
Make sure that the damper blade cannot be released
inadvertently.
Regular care and maintenance ensure operational readiness, functional reliability, and long service life of the
smoke control dampers.
The owner or operator of the system is responsible for
the maintenance of the smoke control damper. The
operator is responsible for creating a maintenance plan,
for defining the maintenance objectives, and for the
functional reliability of the damper
Functional test
The functional reliability of the smoke control damper
must be tested at least every six months; this has to be
arranged by the system owner. If two consecutive tests,
one 6 months after the other, are successful, the next
test can be conducted one year later.
The functional test must be carried out in compliance
with the basic maintenance principles of the following
standards:
.
Maintenance
The smoke control damper and the actuator are maintenance-free with regard to wear but smoke control
dampers must still be included in the regular cleaning of
the smoke extract system.
Inspection
Smoke control dampers must be inspected before commissioning. After commissioning, the function has to be
tested in regular intervals. Local requirements and
building regulations must be complied with.
The inspection measures to be taken are listed under
Ä
‘Inspection, maintenance and repair measures’
on page 39.
The test of each smoke control damper must be documented and evaluated. If the requirements are not fully
met, suitable remedial action must be taken.
Repair
For safety reasons, repair work must only be carried out
by expert qualified personnel or the manufacturer. Only
original replacement parts are to be used. A functional
Ä
test is required after any repair work
sioning/functional test’ on page 37.
Any repair must be documented.
Cleaning
All surfaces of TROX components and systems, with
the exception of electronic parts, may be wiped with a
dry or damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents that contain chlorine. All surfaces may also be cleaned with an
industrial vacuum cleaner. To avoid any scratches, a
soft brush should be used on the suction inlet. Equipment for removing stubborn contamination, e.g. scrubbing sponges or scouring cream, may damage the surfaces and must not be used.
