Installation situations Installation 5.1 Installation situations The table lists the various EK-JZ installation types; for details on the performance level see the declaration of per- formance. Installation locations described here may be combined with other installation location characteristics. For example, a smoke control damper may be installed on a vertical smoke extract duct where a horizontal smoke extract duct branches off.
Requirements for wall systems EK-JZ smoke control dampers may be installed in wall systems if these walls have been erected in compliance with regulations and the manufacturers' instructions, and if the information on the respective installation sit- uation applies and the following requirements are met.

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 con- nection to the terminals, shorten the connecting cable. Feeding the cable into the actuator encasing To feed the cable into the actuator encasing, a drilled hole of the exact size is required (∅cable +1 mm).
If there are integral communication modules fitted inside the encasing, they can be connected to the actuator and establish the communication with the control system as well as the power supply. Smoke control damper Type EK-JZ...
