CSS Damper Installation Method
CSS - ES Rated Fire Damper (Fire & Smoke Barrier)
www.actionair.co.ukJanuary 2017
Health and Safety
This process must be undertaken by a competent
persons. More than one person may be required to
ensure the safe handling of large dampers and other
materials. Use must be made of access equipment
to ensure unsafe practices are not used to approach
walls or dicult access areas.
Standard site PPE should be used (minimum steel
toe cap boots, hard hat) together with any protective
eyewear, gloves and masks, when drilling or cutting
is being undertaken. The latter should also be used
when handing the wall construction materials, as
dened by the material suppliers. If loud equipment
is being used, hearing protection should be used.
All waste materials should be collected and disposed
of as dened by the relevant supplier.
Rigid or dry Walls or Concrete Floor
construction
Damper installation method
1. Measure the overall damper casing diameter.
Calculate the nished square hole size by adding
10mm ± 5mm to both width and height (For drywall
partitions calculate the hole to cut size by adding
two board thickness to the nished hole width
and height).
2. Mark out the hole on the partition and cut it out,
cutting the top and bottom edges rst to maintain
stability.
3. For drywall partitions, frame out the hole with
stud and track and cover this with board. Finish
edges with joint ller.
4. Install the damper and fasten one installation
ange so the blade in its closed position is in
the centre of the wall.
5. Fill the 4 triangular voids between the damper
and the edges of the hole with re rated stone wool.
6. Fit the remaining installation ange.

Control Mode Wiring Procedure
If integrating this unit with an Actionpac damper
control system (LNS, EMS or EMB) please refer to
the relevant catalogue and specic project details.
General
One metre of halogen free low smoke and fume
electric cable is tted to each control mode for
convenience of on-site wiring. This provides the
distinct safety advantage of all electrics terminating
outside the duct, eliminating potential in-duct re
hazards from wiring faults. The Electrical Thermal
Release is pre-wired with 0.5m halogen free low
smoke and fume cabling to Control Modes 5 and 6.
A Manual test switch tted on the ETR allows
periodic operation of damper, simulating actual
fail safe release under smoke/re conditions.
Commissioning
The procedure detailed under periodic maintenance
should be followed
Periodic maintenance
As detailed in BS 9999:2008
1. For dampers this is at least once per year for
units with spring operation.
2. Units operating in dusty atmospheres should be
frequently often to suit the severity of the conditions.
3. Units associated with systems may be required
to be checked, as part of the system, as often
as once per week or month to ensure ongoing
condence in the life safety system. This may
be seen as analogous to re alarm systems.
Procedure
1. The units should be carefully inspected and
cleaned of dust and debris
2) The units should then be lubricated with a light oil,
by wiping this over all the surfaces
3) Modes should be operated to ensure that it moves
the blades from open to closed and the reverse.
4) If the end switches (in the mode) are being used,
it should be checked that they are actually indicating
that the blades are open or closed. This is done
by running a cycle and checking both the blades
(open and closed) and the indication that the micro
switches are feeding back to.

Inspection and handover check sheet Damper Installation Certicate
This certicate applies only to actionair products. The installer
must complete this installation certicate when installing re and smoke dampers.
A separate certicate must be completed for each individual re and smoke damper.
No. Question Action Tick
1 Are the dampers the correct type? Conrm damper is correct type i.e. SmokeShield ¨
2 Are the dampers located correctly? The damper location is to be checked against the
installation drawings/details ¨
3Are the dampers correctly identied? Unique system ID to be clearly indicated on the damper
or other agreed location. ¨
4 Have supports for both the damper and the adjacent ductwork
been installed in accordance with the approved manner? ¨
5Are the dampers tted in the correct orientation? Conrm the damper is installed the correct way up and
relative to airow and/or access. ¨
6Is access through the ductwork, to the damper unobstructed? Unobstructed space should be provided for safe access
to the damper. This must include access through ceiling
voids and adjacent services. Damper installer to advise
the system designer if problems are foreseen.
¨
7 Has the space around the damper and within the opening been
left clear and not been used for other services?
Other services within the installation opening will
invalidate the installation method. Damper installer to
advise the lead contractor if problems are foreseen.
¨
8 Using the access opening provided, are the damper blades in
the open position?
Check position of damper blades. ¨
9 Has the damper been checked for internal cleanliness, free
from damage and that vertical casings in particular are free
from debris?
With the damper in the closed position, inspect for
damage. ¨
10 Has the damper been released to simulate operation of the
thermal release? (Damper drop test)
Ensure damper operation is free from interference. ¨
11 Have the damper blades been re-set following drop test and
the access panel replaced?
After re-setting the damper, check the position shown
on the blade position indicator is correct. ¨
12 At the time of damper handover, is the re barrier and
penetration seal complete?
Damper installer to record on the handover register if
any following trades are still to complete their activities. ¨
13 Is the damper installation complete and available for handover
prior to system commissioning?
Obtain the relevant acceptance of the damper installation
from the CDM coordinator. ¨
14 Is the completed handover register cross-referenced back to
the identication codes listed in the system designers damper
schedule?

Replacement of Mode & ETR on CSS Dampers
Remove ETR
Undo the 2 self tapping screws with a No.1 Pozidriv
screwdriver and remove the ETR from the hole.
Undoing the 2 screws allows separation of the two
pieces of the ETR. Replace the old ETR with new.
Aligning, tensioning and tting mode
The damper blade is designed to be pre-tensioned
with the mode tted. To ease mode tting the
following is necessary. Wind mode manually 1½ turns
clockwise and ½ turn anticlockwise quickly to lock
for fail-safe-closed position, to align the 2 xing screw
holes. Fit mode to bracket screws through mode
and into bracket then t nuts (they are embossed
to stop them coming loose). Fit screw supplied with
mode through mudguard washer and into the drive
shaft. Tighten screw into the shaft on the mode end
5Nm Max torque. Fully reset and release actuator by
manually winding to fully open, then release, noting
blade contacts both ‘blade stop’ positions using
manual reset key (3mm cranked allen key supplied).
Fit new ETR or replace ETR thermal probe
For damper sizes greater than Ø100mm t the ETR
into the pre-punched hole in the circular case using
a No.1 Pozidriv screwdriver to tighten the two self
tapping screws supplied with the ETR.
For damper size Ø100mm t to pre-punched hole
in the side of mode bracket and through a grommet
in case beneath. Tighten using a No.1 Pozidriv
screwdriver to tighten the two self tapping screws
supplied with the ETR. NOTE fully tighten the ETR
so that its two part case is completely together to
ensure electrical continuity inside.
Electrical Connection and Final Operational Test
When power is available, the unit must be checked
for electrical operation. Power on to motor open,
power o to spring close (fail-safe-closed). The unit
must also be checked by pushing and holding the
test switch on the ETR to conrm that the damper
closes. When pressure is removed from the switch
the damper will reopen. This may be done after the
initial installation test to provide periodic operation of
the damper to simulate actual fail-safe-closure under
re conditions. Note: Supply voltage will automatically
override the manual locking mechanism.
Remove Mode Fasteners
Unscrew and remove the two bolts holding the
mode to the bracket using a 5mm allen key.
Unscrew and remove the bolt and washer holding
the mode to the shaft using an 8mm A/F spanner.
Do not to lose the xings these will be reused later.
Check damper blade starting position
Damper blade in closed position for the ‘Fail-Safe-
Closed’. It is also a good opportunity to check the
condition of the white seal around the circumference
of the blade for any damage.
Orientation of mode
The mode can be tted in one of three positions
depending on preference this is the time to decide.
