Infinity Smoke Control System Components

The FSCS

The Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS) is a custom panel that
provides full monitoring and manual control capability over all smoke
control equipment. In the event of an emergency, it is used by the fire
department to override the smoke control system.
Features
The FSCS should contain a building diagram that clearly indicates the
type and location of all smoke control equipment, and the areas served
by the equipment (smoke control zones). Since the FSCS uses a
graphical depiction of the building, each FSCS will be unique and must
be custom made.
The FSCS graphic must show all fans in excess of 2000 CFM, all
dampers or groups of VAV boxes, and all major ducts and how the ducts
are connected together. The FSCS graphic must provide a clear
indication of the direction of airflow in the ducts.
If the FSCS graphic is too large to fit on a single panel, multiple panels
may be used.
Manual Overrides
The FSCS must provide manual controls that will override any piece of
equipment in the smoke control system. The FSCS must have the
highest priority in the smoke control system. The FSCS must be able to
override any other manual or automatic control that is being used in the
system, except when these controls are intended to protect against
electrical overloads, provide for personal safety, or prevent major
system damage. VAV boxes that are all located within and serve one
designated smoke control zone may be controlled collectively.
Fans require a 3-position control that provides ON-AUTO-OFF
capabilities. Dampers require a 3-position control that provides OPEN-
AUTO-CLOSE capabilities. The AUTO position is removed if the
override is for a piece of equipment that can only be controlled by the
FSCS.
In addition to the controls mentioned above, you can also have a 3-
position control for each zone that provides PRESSURIZE-AUTO-
EXHAUST capabilities.
