Description Fire dampers are passive fire protection and are designed to utilize compartmentalization to prevent the spread of toxic gases, smoke and fire. By default, F-C2 fire dampers are only supplied with spring loaded activation. In case of fire, the fire damper closes automatically when the temperature of the air in the duct reaches 72°C.

Material Composition The product contains galvanized steel, graphite fire-proof laminate, polyurethane foam. These are processed in accordance with local regulations. The product contains no hazardous substances, except for the solder in the thermofuse, which contains a milligram of lead. Calcium silicate board is used in sizes greater than 125 mm. BOR-S and BOR-R are manufactured from galvanized sheet metal and powder coated to RAL9003 (signal white) as standard.

Diagrams Accessory CBR-C2 and fire resistance class (EI60S, EI90S and EI120S) do not affect the pressure drop and A-weighted total discharged sound power level. The pressure drop and A-weighted total discharged sound power level depend on the complete product: F-C2 damper together with duct piece and air terminal devices.

4. check the damper’s functionality as per the chapter “Fire Damper Functionality Check” before you install the fire 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-C2...VA” document or more can be found at design.systemair.com.

Installation 1. Wet Using Plaster/Mortar/Concrete Filling 1. The supporting construction opening must be prepared as depicted in wall preparation. Opening surfaces must be even and cleaned off. 2. The opening dimension D1 is driven by the nominal dimensions of the damper with added clearance. The flexible wall opening must be reinforced as per the standards for plasterboard walls when a vertical beam was breached with the opening.

Installation 3. Soft Installation in a Soft Crossing with fire-resistive coating With this installation we recommend using flexible connection (see accessory FCR-C2) on one side, due thermal expansion of connected duct during fire. 1. The supporting construction opening must be prepared as depicted in wall preparation. Opening surfaces must be even and cleaned off.
Operation Manual Warning: Both sides of F-C2 blades are spring loaded in the open position and are closing very quick. To avoid injury, make sure to keep the blades movement area clear while manipulating with F-C2. The fire damper is ready for installation when its blades are in open position. To open the damper follow these steps: A Check the thermal fuse link.

If any discrepancies are discovered, these need to be entered in the Operating Journal along with a proposal for their removal. The Operating Journal can be found downloaded from design.systemair.com. Before the first installation, it needs to be inspected under the identical conditions as apply to the above mentioned 6-month inspections.
