1.2 Correct use
The fire damper is used as an automatic shut-off
device to prevent fire and smoke from spreading
through ducting.
The fire damper is suitable for supply and extract air
in HVAC systems.
The fire damper may be used in potentially explo-
sive atmospheres if appropriate special accessories
are used with it and if the product bears the CE con-
formity marking according to Directive 94/9/EC. Fire
dampers for use in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres are marked for the zones for which they
have been approved.
Operation of the fire dampers is allowed only in
compliance with installation regulations and the
technical data in this installation and operating
manual.
Modifying the fire damper or using replacement
parts that have not been approved by TROX is not
permitted.
If this fire damper is used in Germany:
Do not use it in extract air systems in commercial
kitchens.
Not to be used as an air transfer damper.
Do not use in combined penetration seal.
Do not use in fire protection block bulkhead.
Approvals under building regulations may be
required for the use of upstream shutters for air
transfer units. This must be checked and applied for
by others.
Flame-resistant, non-dripping building materials
(elastomeric foams) must at least correspond to fire
rating class C - s2, d0 according to the specifica-
tions of MVV TB (since 2019/1). The applicable local
building regulations must be observed.
Incorrect use
WARNING!
Danger due to incorrect use!
Incorrect use of the fire damper can lead to dan-
gerous situations.
Never use the fire damper
–
without specially approved attachments in areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres
–
as a smoke control damper
–
outdoors without sufficient protection against the
effects of weather
–
in atmospheres where chemical reactions,
whether planned or unplanned, may cause
damage to the fire damper or lead to corrosion
