Installation and commissioning
Installation is carried out according to
the installation and operating manual.
Mortar-based installation:
– In solid walls and ceiling slabs
– In lightweight partition walls with metal support
structure and cladding on both sides
– In timber stud walls and half-timbered
constructions with cladding on both sides
– In fire walls with metal support structure
and cladding on both sides
– In shaft walls with or without metal support
structure and with cladding on one side
– On wooden beam ceilings
– On modular ceilings (Cadolto system)
Dry mortarless installation:
– In lightweight partition walls with metal support
structure or steel support structure and
cladding on both sides: with installation kit TQ
– In timber stud walls and half-timbered
constructions with cladding on both sides
and installation kit TQ
– In fire walls with metal support structure and
cladding on both sides with installation kit TQ

Maintenance
– The functional reliability of the fire damper
must be tested at least every six months;
this has to be arranged by the owner of the
ventilation system; functional tests must be
carried out in compliance with the basic
maintenance principles stated in EN 13306
and DIN 31051. If two consecutive tests,
one 6 months after the other, are successful,
the next test can be conducted one year later
– A functional test involves closing the damper
blade and opening it again; with a spring return
actuator this can be done via remote control
– Fire dampers must be included in the regular
cleaning schedule of the ventilation system.
– For details on functional tests, maintenance
and inspection refer to the installation
and operating manual

Upstream velocity*
≤ 8 m/s with standard construction; ≤ 12 m/s with spring return actuator
Note: Upstream velocity for the explosion-proof actuator ExMax/RedMax-15-BF TR is ≤ 10 m/s
* Data applies to uniform upstream and downstream conditions for the fire dampers
** Temperatures may differ for units with attachments; details for other applications are available on request.
Condensation and the intake of humid fresh air have to be avoided as otherwise operation will be impaired
or not possible.
