DWFX-F Installation Method
Health and safety
• This process must be undertaken by competent per-
sons. More than one person may be required to ensure
the safe handling of large dampers and other materi-
als. Use must be made of access equipment to ensure
unsafe practices are not used to approach walls or dif-
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.
• Actuators: All wiring should be carried out in accor-
dance with the wiring details provided by the IEE and
BS regulations and by a competent person. Care must
be taken when installing and inspecting dampers, as
they are likely to close without warning due to loss of
electrical power or a temperature rise in the ductwork.
This is their prime function. Do not insert any items,
ngers or limbs between the blades. Larger dampers
must be handled in accordance with current regula-
tions and good practice due to weight.

• The methods in this manual should be followed to
ensure a CE-marked installation. This CE installation
document covers single dampers only. If a multiple
damper assembly or, if a non-standard install is requi-
red, talk to us as early as possible in the project to get
important stakeholders engaged and ensure an instal-
lation solution can be found.
• The instructions are based on the tested method using
Actionair Smoke Shield PTC re/smoke dampers and
Firetherm products.
• Our SmokeShield dampers are designed to be used
with re separating elements to maintain re compart-
ments. The SmokeShield is an actuated failsafe close
damper with low smoke leakage, often referred to in
the industry as a Fire/Smoke damper.
• Under the Fire Damper Product standard BS EN 15650
our Fire Damper products are tested to BS EN 1366-2
and classied under BS EN 13501-3.
• Notied body - BRE Global
• Test report P112628-1006 (Vertical Test) P112628-1014
(Actuator in Horizontal test) P112628-1015 (Actuator
out Horizontal Test)
• For smoke control, the product you use should be
tested to BS EN 1366-10 and drive open, drive closed
without failsafe position, see our website for informa-
tion on the Actionair SmokeCommand smoke con-
trol damper documentation and suitable installation
methods.

1. Measure the overall Fire damper casing size w x h, but
for Smoke Shield include the PTC Shroud (28mm) in
the width but do not include any of the peripheral
ange.
2. Calculate the hole size...
3. For Fire Shield calculate the nished hole size by adding
10-40mm to the case width and height.
4. For Smoke Shield calculate the nished hole size adding
10-52mm to the width and 10-40mm to the height.
5. Calculate the hole to cut size by adding two board
thicknesses to the nished hole width and height.
6. Mark out the hole on the partition and cut it out, cut-
ting the top and bottom edges rst to maintain stabi-
lity.
7. Frame out the hole with stud and track and cover this
with board. Finish edges with joint ller.
8. Drill clearance holes in the damper ange at 150mm
centres and such that they will allow screws to pull into
the stud and track around the hole.
9. Install the damper and fasten.
10. Back ll with mineral/stone wool and pattress over
this down to the spigot. Fasten with drywall screws at

Installation Method
1. Mark out the hole on the partition and cut it out, cut-
ting the top and bottom edges rst to maintain stabi-
lity.
2. Frame out the hole with stud and track and cover this
with 2 layers of board. Finish edges with joint ller.
3. Rivet steel duct (by others) to damper spigot on non-
access side, using steel rivets.
4. Suspend the damper from the ceiling, using 10mm
studding drop rods, and support the damper from
lateral movement.
5. Make sure the area within the aperture and the
damper casing is free from any debris and remove any
dust.
6. Where the coated BATT will contact the surrounding
aperture apply Rockwool Fire pro glue to the outer
edges of the BATT. Where two coated BATTS are in
contact use Rockwool re pro glue as the joint adhe-
sive. In both cases ensure that an even cover is achie-
ved over the entire thickness of the BATT.
7. Continue installation of Rockwool ablative coated
BATT, until aperture is completely lled.
8. Apply a bead of Rockwool acoustic intumescent sealant

Installation Method
1. Measure the overall Fire damper casing size w x h, but
for Smoke Shield include the PTC Shroud (28mm) in
the width but do not include any of the peripheral
ange.
2. Calculate the hole size...
3. For Fire Shield calculate the nished hole size by adding
10-60mm to the case width and 5-30mm for the
height as the head of the damper will be against the
slab.
4. For Smoke Shield calculate the nished hole size adding
10-57mm to the width and 10-30mm to the height as
the head of the damper will be against the slab.
5. Calculate the hole to cut size by adding two board
thicknesses to the nished hole width and only one for
the height.
6. Mark out the hole on the partition and cut it out.
7. Frame out the hole sides and bottom with stud and
track and cover this with board. Finish edges with joint
ller.
8. Drill clearance holes in the three damper ange sides at
150mm centres and such that they will allow screws to
pull into the stud and track around the hole.
9. Apply a bead of low pressure intumescent mastic
along top edge of damper as a gap ller and Install the
damper and fasten.
10. Back ll with mineral/stone wool and pattress over
this down to the spigot. Fasten with drywall screws
at 300mm centres on the sides and bottom such that
they will allow screws to pull into the stud and track
around the hole. Fix the top pattress into the track at
the sides.
11. Connecting ductwork omitted for clarity. Ductwork
must be independently supported. There must be an
appropriate break-away joint between the damper and
connecting ductwork on both sides of assembly. Alu-
minium rivets or plastic cleats, clips, clamps and bolts
etc. should be used for this, unless re resisting duct-
work is being used where re resisting xings should
be used. A minimum separation of 200 mm between
re dampers installed in separate ducts and 75mm bet-
ween re damper and a construction element (ie wall/
oor) unless otherwise tested.
12. Alternative partition systems to those shown within

EXPLANATION:
2 Hour fire, smoke rating, & 2 hour fire integrity.
The damper must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and HEVAC/HVCA publication HVC6/5/83 rev 1
APRIL 2002.
This solution has been assessed by BRE to BS476 PT 20 for 2 hours
and tested by BRE to BS-EN1366-2.
Acceptance of this solution must be sought by the system designer
(In writing) from the appropriate LA prior to installation.
Requirements for access openings for inspection and cleaning
purposes are provided in HVCA DW/144 specification for sheet metal
ductwork.
Access provision must be allowed to permit jointing of ducts to fire
damper. It may be necessary to install access doors on both sides of
the partition so that the ducts can be fitted from inside the damper.

shown by test to have at least the same re resistance
when tested to BS EN 1364-1:1999 as is required of
the damper. If the partition system has been success-
fully tested without stone mineral wool it does not
have to be used in practice when only considering the
re performance of the complete system. The mineral
wool may still be needed for other reasons e.g. acous-
tic performance.

Installation Method
1. Rivet steel duct (by others) to damper spigot on non-
access side, using steel rivets.
2. Suspend the damper from the ceiling, using 10mm
studding drop rods, and support the damper from
lateral movement.
3. Make sure the area within the aperture and the
damper casing is free from any debris and remove any
dust.
4. Where the coated BATT will contact the surrounding
aperture apply Rockwool Fire pro glue to the outer
edges of the BATT. Where two coated BATTS are in
contact, use Rockwool re pro glue as the joint adhe-
sive. In both cases ensure that an even cover is achie-
ved over the entire thickness of the BATT.
5. Continue installation of Rockwool ablative coated
BATT, until aperture is completely lled.
6. Apply a bead of Rockwool acoustic intumescent sealant
to both sides of the wall, approximately 15mm wide
around perimeter of the aperture between wall and
BATT, ensuring that any gaps between the BATT and
surrounding edges are fully lled.
7. Allow 12 hours for BATT penetration seal to cure prior

Installation Method
1. Measure the overall Fire damper casing size width x
height, but for Smoke Shield include the PTC Shroud
(28mm) in the width but do not include any of the
peripheral ange.
2. Calculate hole size...
3. For Fire Shield calculate the nished hole size by adding
10-80mm to the case width and 5-40mm for the
height as the head of the damper will be against the
slab.
4. For Smoke Shield calculate the nished hole size adding
10-57mm to the width and 5-30mm to the height as
the head of the damper will be against the slab.
5. Drill clearance holes in the three damper ange's side
and bottom at 150mm centres.
6. Apply a bead of low pressure intumescent mastic
along top edge of damper as a gap ller and install
the damper and fasten through ange using re rated
fasteners, min ø4mm.
7. Dampers are supplied with cleats and only need to be
used to help/assist with the installation before faste-
ning the ange to the wall.
8. Back ll with mineral/stone wool and to retain this use

Periodic Maintenance
Manufacturer Recommended Service Inter-
vals
• After commissioning and handover (see DW145 check
sheet), in order to remain compliant with 15650:2010,
we recommend that you follow a regular service and
inspection programme to ensure correct operation
of dampers in the event the damper is required to
actuate.
• In addition to regular physical inspections (in accor-
dance with 15650:2010) we recommend using a
dedicated damper control panel with a digital reporting
mechanism (such as an Actionpac LNS system) to fre-
quently monitor and report on regular remote damper
testing.
• Ensure maintenance is performed in line with the latest
best practice and relevant local or specialist guidance.
• Our recommended service intervals for life safety pro-
ducts are as follows:
Interval Action Competence
6 Months Check Actuator Wiring (if appli-
cable) for Damage

nager
• *Specialist Persons: A recognised and experienced
person with prior experience in the inspection and
assessment of the functional safety of smoke and re
damper products. If in doubt, please consult with our
technical support team for advice. To talk about our
OEM maintenance inspections, contact our nationwide
service team.
BS EN 15650:2010 - Ventilation for Buildings
- Fire Dampers
• Section 8.3 states regular testing/ inspection should
be undertaken to meet regulatory requirements, or at
intervals not exceeding six months.
• A comprehensive example of the maintenance pro-
cedure is given in Annex D of the standard. Some
automatic systems may allow more frequent testing
(48hr or less) and this may be required by a national
standard.
Approved Document B, Volume 2
• Clause 10.12 states adequate means of access must be
provided to allow inspection, testing and maintenance
of both re damper and its actuating mechanism.
BS 9999:2017 - Code of Practice for the Fire
Safety in the Design, Management and Use
of Buildings - Annex I
Smoke Control Systems
• For means of escape states actuation of the system
should be simulated once a week. It should be ensured
that any fans and powered exhaust ventilators ope-
rate correctly, smoke dampers close (or open in some
systems), natural exhaust ventilators open, automatic
smoke curtains move into position, etc.
Three Monthly
• In addition to the checks recommended in V.2, V.3 and
V.4, the actuation of all smoke control systems should
be simulated once every three months. All zones should
be separately tested and it should be ensured that any
fans and powered exhaust ventilators operate correctly,
smoke dampers close (or open in some systems) etc.
Yearly
• In addition to the following checks should be made for
annual inspections and tests of the following to be car-
ried out by competent persons, for any defects to be
logged and the necessary action taken, and for certi-
cates of testing to be obtained.
– Fire detection and re alarm systems;
– Self-contained luminaires with sealed batteries, if more
than 3 years old;
– Sprinkler, drencher and watermist systems;
– Smoke ventilators and smoke control systems;
– Fire dampers
BS 9999:2017 - Code of Practice for the Fire
Safety in the Design, Management and Use
of Buildings - Annex W
• Maintenance of air conditioning and ventilation equip-
ment including air lters, motors, re dampers and
their controls, smoke detectors and alarms is of para-
mount importance both in preventing re and in ensur-
ing that measures taken to mitigate its consequences
are effective when needed. Arrangements should be
made for all re dampers to be tested by a competent
person on completion of the installation and at regular
intervals not exceeding 2 years. They are to be repaired
or replaced immediately if found to be faulty. Spring
operated re dampers should be tested annually and
re dampers in dust laden and similar atmospheres
should be tested much more frequently, at periods
suited to the degree of pollution.

Actuators
Control Mode Installation Procedure
1. Remove transit plate and recycle.
2. Slide the interface and mode assembly into the shroud.
Ensure the slots in the interface casing and the drive
coupling located on the rear of the interface are in line.
3. Push the assembly fully home until the interface sprung
retaining pin engages through the locating hole in the
damper shroud (snaplock™).
4. The control mode can be tted in any of three orienta-
tions i.e. vertically down, horizontally and vertically up
(For height restrictions). This can easily be carried out
by the following:
5. Remove and retain screw (8mm A/F) and washer,
through the position indicator on the control mode.
6. Remove the control mode and interface adapter plate.
7. Taking care not to disturb the drive hexagon. Replace
the interface adapter plate and control mode in the
new orientation.
8. Replace the washer and screw tight (Max 5Nm) Select
a suitable position for the Electrical Thermal Release
(ETR) to be mounted through the ductwork.
9. Ideally this should be in the top half of the duct and/ or
above the level of the interface.
10. Apply the self-adhesive template (located on the rear
of the ETR) and drill the necessary holes (Ø3mm &
Ø9.5 & Ø11mm). Push the ETR through the duct and
ensure both screws are used to hold it in position.
Both screws should be tightened fully to ensure that
both sections of the ETR are closed together. It is a
safety feature, if both sections are not closed the unit
will not operate. For ductless installations the ETR
should be tted onto the damper spigot (not casing)
above the damper interface shroud and in accordance
with the tting instructions. If the ETR is not tted in
the exact manner described above, the unit will not
operate.
11. The damper should be manually reset and released
using the winder provided to ensure that correct
mechanical operation is achievable. It is possible to
mechanically lock open the SmokeShield PTC damper
to allow air to pass through it using the winder pro-
vided, this may be necessary if electrical power isn’t
available yet. The ETR is not operable in this instance,
the damper will not release automatically if the tempe-
rature rises or a re occurs.
12. The unit must be wired as detailed. When power is
available, the unit must be checked for correct electri-
cal operation. Power on to reset, power off to release.
13. The unit must also be checked by pushing and holding
the test switch on the ETR to conrm that the damper
releases. When pressure is removed from the switch
the damper resets. This may also be done after the
initial installation test, to provide periodic operation of
the damper to simulate actual fail-safe release under
smoke/re conditions.
14. The ETR cable must not cut to shorten or lengthen,
and care must be taken not to damage it. Either will
render the unit inoperable and void any warranties.
This is due to a built in safety feature.

Question Action
1 Are the dampers the correct type? Conrm damper is correct type for the application
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 appro-
ved manner?
5Are the dampers tted in the correct orientation? Conrm the damper is installed with any actuators (if app-
licable) on the left or right hand side. Not on the top or the
bottom (i.e. blade pivot running vertically).
6 Is access through the ductwork, to the damper unob-
structed?
Unobstructed space should be provided for safe access to the
damper. This must include access through ceiling voids and ad-
jacent services. Damper installer to advise the system designer
if problems are foreseen.
7Has 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, check that blades
open and close.
Check position of damper blades.
9Has 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?
