The building owner must inspect and test each Smoke Guard unit at least once every six months. Failure to properly test and maintain your Smoke Guard unit could result in death or serious injury in the event of a fire.
The responsibilities of the building owner The Smoke Guard system is considered “connected equipment” as defined in NFPA 72. As such, the owner or designated representative shall be responsible for inspecting, functional testing, recording of tests, and maintaining the system. Delegation of responsibility shall be in writing, with a copy made available to the authority having jurisdiction under the provisions of the building code and local ordinances.
LEDs.) NOTE: The smoke detector or other initiating device is part of the building smoke and fire alarm system and NOT a component of the Smoke Guard system. However, it is an essential component, vital to the proper operation of the system and all other connected equipment.
How the Smoke Guard system works Ready: The system connects to an auxiliary relay in the smoke detector located in the lobby ceiling. The curtain is rolled up and concealed within the housing. Alarm: When the local smoke detector goes into alarm, the curtain deploys, stopping when it reaches the floor.
If mains power is lost the curtain will deploy and retract on battery power if the smoke detector goes into alarm. If a unit deploys during a fire, notify Smoke Guard (800-574-0330) for a free service visit.
Maintenance/Testing The following topics cover the requirements for testing, inspecting, and maintaining your Smoke Guard system. Before you test NOTE: These instructions assume that installation is complete and the installer has conducted the tests specified in the installation manual to verify proper installation.
Visually inspect the curtain assembly for damage to the curtain material or bottom bar at the floor. If any damage is present, immediately contact Smoke Guard or local distributor for repair procedures. Retract the curtain by clearing the smoke detector.
Record Keeping The following topics explain how to maintain a record of the tests that you perform on your Smoke Guard system: Why keep records? What records should be kept? Why keep records? According to NFPA 72 (2002 edition), the building owner is responsible for keeping the maintenance and testing record for the life safety devices in their building.
Appendix: Troubleshooting a System Fault If the curtain fully deploys on its own (fall-by-gravity) this indicates that it has completely lost power: main power is off and the battery backup voltage has dropped below a critical threshold. If the controller is emitting a steady audible alarm the system is in a fault state.

The controller will recognize this situation and report a brake fault. Attempt to clear the fault by pressing the TDS twice: once to silence the alarm and once to retract the curtain. If the curtain will not remain retracted notify the local distributor or Smoke Guard.
