fire damper operation and maintenance instructions
Dampers do not typically require maintenance provided they are kept clean and dry. All moving parts are self-lubricating and additional lubrication is not required. If additional lubrication of multi-blade damper axle bearings, jackshaft bearings or jamb seals is desired, use a silicone or dry graphic lubricant.
Do not use petroleum-based lubricants or other lubricants that attract contaminants and collect dust.
Regular inspection and maintenance is essential to ensure that life-safety systems will perform as intended during emergencies. Dampers shall be cycled and tested in accordance with NFPA 90 recommendations and local codes.
Maintenance
Simulated Fire Closure
• Non-Spring Assisted Dampers
Operate the damper by removing the fusible link (or by ‘melting’ the fusible link with a heat source) and allowing the blades to drop or close naturally.
CAUTION - Avoid injury - keep clear of blade travel path. Lift the blade package to the top of the damper to reopen and replace the fusible link.
Take care not to rack, deform or damage the blades while reopening.
• Dynamic Rated OR Spring Assisted Dampers
Due to spring assisted closure force, removing the fusible link is NOT recommended as a means of closure testing. Instead, when testing is required,
‘melt’ the fusible link with an appropriate heat source and allow the blades to close automatically. CAUTION - Avoid injury - Keep clear of blade travel path. Lift the blade package to the top of the damper to reopen and replace the fusible link. Take care not to rack, deform or damage the blades when reopening.
Reopening Spring Assisted OR Dynamic Rated Fire Dampers may be very difficult and in some cases impossible. If the damper is deemed impossible or impractical to test or reopen, then a thorough examination of the blade travel path is required to insure that nothing will prevent the damper from closing. Common obstructions include: retaining angle installation screws, racked damper frames, construction debris and contaminants.
CAUTION - Testing Spring Assisted OR Dynamic Rated Fire Dampers under airflow conditions is not recommended and may severely damage or destroy duct work.
Operational Testing
Troubleshooting Guide Problem
Damper does not open and/or close fully
Fusible link is separated
Installation screws interfering with damper blade or linkage travel Frame is ‘racked’ causing blades to bind
Contaminants on damper
Excessive heat Replace link.
Note: If the damper is installed near a heat source (heat exchanger, burner, furnace, etc.) higher temperature links may be required to prevent unwanted closure.
Inspect and remove interfering screws or debris
Adjust frame to be square and plumb
Clean with compressed air, mild detergent or mild non-petroleum based solvent

Washing procedure
• Optimum result of laundering can be achieved by turning the ducts inside out before process. If ducts are made with All-in-One – remove the hoops before laundering.
• Pre-rinse: 20oC (70oF) approx. 3 minutes without any detergent.
• Pre-wash: 40oC (104oF) approx. 10 minutes. Quantities of deter- gent as recommended by the supplier.
• Wash: 40oC (104oF) approx. 20 minutes. Quantities of deter- gent as recommended by the supplier.
• Rinse thoroughly after each washing.
• Do not add any softener.
• If possible, ix the ducts immediately after washing and spin- drying them. If ducts are made with All-in-One – reinsert the hoops after laundering.
• Start the ventilation system in order to dry the ducts.
Tumbeling
Tumble at maximally 45oC (110oF) hot air.
Washing interval
We recommend that the ducts are washed 1-2 times per year when using an F85/EU7 ilter. When washing the ducts with this interval the white fabric may, however, take on a greyish colour.
Storing the ducts
Make sure that the ducts are completely dry before folding them up.
The ducts must be stored in a dry room.
