Upon receipt of unit - Before signing for the delivery
 Flourescent yellow stickers are attached to every package we
despatch detailing receipt instructions and what to do if your goods
are damaged.
 The instructions on this must be followed or HVC will not be able to
assist with any claims for damage.
Prior to installation
 If damper is to be stored on site, ensure it is stored in a clean and
dry environment.
 Immediately prior to fitment, remove all packaging from the unit. Take
particular care inspecting the inside of the unit for any packing
materials which may disrupt damper operation.

Installation

 Fire damper installation should only be carried out by competant
persons. As life safety devices, correct operation is reliant on correct
installation.
 Damper edges can be sharp. PPE should be used when handling.
 Larger dampers can be very heavy, ensure suitable lifting methods
are used to help prevent injury.
 Adjacent dampers should be positioned not less than 200mm apart
at their extremities.
 Remove the safety cable tie around the fusible link. Failure to remove
this will render the damper inoperable.
 For detailed installation instructions see the following page.

Operation

 Fusible link fire dampers are designed to operate without any
command from an operator or building maintenance system (unless
equipped with an electromagnet or solenoid).
 Fusible links will release at the temperature embossed onto the link
body.
 The use of electromagnets and solenoids enables the damper to be
operated remotely, even when the damper itself is not being exposed
to elevated temperatures.
 The activation command may originate from an automated command
or a human operator through the building maintenance system.
 Once the damper has been shut, it can only be opened by hand.
 Once exposed to elevated temperatures/flames resulting in the
damper closing, the damper must be replaced.

Spares

 A spare amount of replacement fusible links should be kept on site.
