UNIT DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The manufacturer reserves the right to complete the dampers with actuators of choice as long as the dampers comply with the declared technical parameters.
In the closed position the damper construction ensures a tight fit of the blades to the seating faces of the frame.
The frame is the main load-bearing structure of the damper. The frame faces are provided with one or two attachment flanges (depending on the variant).
The smoke damper remains closed in the operating (emergency control) position. In this position the damper blades are aligned with the flow area plane. When the electric magnet is energised, the spring-assisted blade opens causing the end switch to break the circuit and disconnect the electric magnet from the power supply.
The blade is returned to the initial position manually. In variants with Belimo actuators the flap is automatically set to the operating (emergency control) position as soon as the electric actuator is energised.
If a fire breaks out, the electric actuators are de-energised by a control pulse generated by fire-warning detectors, automatic fire extinguishers or other sources while the return spring sets the damper to the open position.
The blade position can be conveniently controlled by means of indicator lights connected to the respective contacts of the electromagnetic actuator. When the power is restored after an outage not related to a fire the damper blades return to the operating (emergency control) position automatically. In variants with Belimo actuators with two-wire control the damper blade is set to the OPEN or CLOSED position by means of a control signal switching the supply power phase from one actuator contact to the other.

POSSIBLE VARIANTS OF RSKE DAMPERS

The RSKE damper with an internally installed electric magnet (220/24 V), single or double flange:

• The single flange variant is intended for wall or ceiling installation. The damper must be installed according to the installation guidelines for the damper with an internal actuator. Upon the test or emergency damper actuation, the louvres can only be manually reset to initial position.
• The double flange variant is intended for duct installation. Upon the test or emergency damper actuation the louvres can only be manually reset to the initial position.

The RSKE damper with an electric actuator (230 or 24 V) installed outside the damper, single or double flange:

• The single flange variant is intended for wall or ceiling mounting irrespective of the dimensional orientation.
• The double flange variant is intended for duct installation irrespective of the dimensional orientation. The louvres of dampers equipped with a two-position electric actuator are set to the “open” or “closed” position by an external actuating signal.

The RSKE damper with an electric actuator (230 or 24 V) installed inside the damper, single or double flange:

• The single flange variant is intended for wall or ceiling mounting irrespective of the dimensional orientation.

ADDITIONAL DAMPER EQUIPMENT
The dampers can be fitted with a range of extra equipment for a particular installation to be purchased separately:

RD smoke exhaust grille
The dampers can be additionally equipped with a smoke exhaust grille. The smoke exhaust grille is used to entirely block the view of the damper internals from outside in the absence of strict requirements to the unit appearance. The smoke exhaust grille also protects the damper and its actuator from tampering. The grille has a single stack of non-adjustable horizontal air flow guides fixed at 45 degrees. The grille can be made of galvanized steel (Ts), carbon steel with a special coating (M), stainless steel (N) or aluminium (A).

Vandal-proof mesh
The dampers can be additionally equipped with a vandal-proof mesh.

Aluminium decorative grille
The dampers can be fitted with a decorative grille made of aluminium for a more aesthetic appearance. The grille has a single stack of non-adjustable horizontal air flow guides fixed at 45 degrees. The grille is polymer-coated or anodised for protection against the weather elements.

INSTALLATION AND SET-UP

BEFORE MOUNTING MAKE SURE THE CASING DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS (E.G. FOIL, PAPER).
WHILE INSTALLING THE UNIT ENSURE CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
The dampers are not intended for installation in air ducts of spaces, in local exhaust systems designed for extraction of flammable and explosive mixtures as well as in systems containing environments more aggressive to plain carbon steels than air or those containing sticky and fibrous materials. Fire safety dampers are only intended for installation in systems subjected to regular cleaning to prevent formation of flammable deposits. The seal fire resistance must be at least equal to that of the building envelope.

When preparing for installation, the damper casing must be fitted with wooden spreader bars to prevent deformation, torsional twisting or geometry perturbation of the frame which may result in blade jamming and, eventually, loss of the damper functionality. Upon completion of the damper brickwork envelope in the smoke shaft, fire division wall or flooring and complete cure (setting) of the sealing remove the wooden spreader bars and check the blade for free and frictionless opening. Earthen the damper, connect the electromagnet or electric actuator (depending on the modification) to the automatic fire-fighting system and test the damper actuation.
