Dampers are tested according to EN 1366-2:2015 and classified according to EN 13501-3 + A1:2009. The fire damper together with its installation form an inseparable part of the fire resistivity rating. F-R60 fire dampers are designed for the installations listed and described in their Handbook.

Design Material Composition The F-R60 damper has a galvanized sheet metal casing, blades from non-asbestos calcium silicate board with polyurethane foam seals for cold smoke and an intumescent seal that expands in case of fire. Ethylene-propylene rubber as duct seal. The product contains no hazardous substances, except for the solder in the thermal fuse, which contains a milligram of lead.

6/49 | F-R60 Inspection possibility Inspection of blade and gaskets can be done through electro thermal fuse opening with an endoscopic camera. Manually operated additionally by removal of the mechanism through opening for its thermal fuse. In order to access the damper's internal parts a flexible connection or duct with access doors must be connected to the damper.

4. Check the damper’s functionality as per the chapter “Functionality Check” before you install the damper. This procedure prevents the installation of a damper that has been damaged during transportation or handling. Information about installation, maintenance and operation is available in the “Handbook_F-R60” document or more can be found at design.systemair.com.

If any discrepancies are discovered, these need to be entered into the Operating Journal along with a proposal for their removal. The Operating Journal can be found in product's "Documents" section at design.systemair.com. Immediately after the installation and activation of the damper, it needs to be checked under the identical conditions as apply to the above mentioned 12-month inspections.
