General Description
The model 2530 is designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation ductwork in walls and
floors. When the power to the damper actuator is removed, the actuator spring is released, which closes the
damper.
Advanced Air 2530 dampers are tested to BS E 1366-2, BS E 15650 and BS ISO 10294-4. They are then classified
to BS E 13501-3 so that the performance can be certified.
The damper is supplied complete with an actuator pre-wired with flying leads for electrical connection. A test
button is also included for checking the actuator operation. The dampers are supplied with long spigots for
installing access doors (optional).

Sizes and sections
Maximum and minimum sizes
The maximum and minimum sizes possible are detailed under
‘Product details’ (See previous pages). These refer to the maximum
size for a single section; one single damper.
The maximum possible size of a single section is constrained by the
sizes of component parts that can be manufactured in our factory
as well as the sizes that have been tested in order to achieve CE
labelling.
Single and Multi-section
Wherever possible Advanced Air supply dampers in single sections as
this keeps the cost of the product to a minimum. However when the
size falls outside of the requirements for a single section damper we
will supply a multi-section damper instead.
A multi-section damper is one that is made up of 2 or more single
dampers. Wherever possible these single dampers are joined in the
Advanced Air factory to minimise the work required on site. However
where dampers are supplied in separate sections they will be
required to be joined on site. Multi-section 2500 Series dampers of
up to 2 sections wide by 2 sections high are supplied joined by steel
channel inside and wrapped with their own spigot case, making the 4
section damper appear as a single unit. On dampers larger than 4
sections wide by 2 sections high they are produced as separate spigotted dampers and joined in our factory using
joining strips. Where dampers are too large to be shipped as one piece Advanced Air will supply the joining stips
for use on site.
Important note on structural support. Under the requirements of BS
E 15882-2:2015 (Point 5.2.2.2), dampers that are more than 2
sections high must be structurally supported to a fire safe design
provided by competent structural engineers.
Every damper section must have one side exposed, there must be a
clear side to mount the actuator. Therefore dampers more than 2
sections wide cannot be any more than 2 sections high; dampers
more than 2 sections high cannot be more than 2 sections wide.

Mounting type options
HVF - HEVAC Installation Frame
The installation frame is factory fitted to its respecti e fire damper and the assembly is deli ered
to site as one unit. It remo es the need for slee e and angle fitting and allows expansion of the
damper in a fire condition within the frame, so that the integrity of the fire wall or floor is not
affected.
When the damper is
installed these fold out
tabs are encased in the
concrete to hold the
damper firmly in place.
Flange with fixing tabs
ensures maximum
captive strength when
fitted.
Corner mitres allow
for frame expansion.
Damper is located
centrally using folded
corner spacers.
Corner joints fitted with aluminium
rivets ensures unimpeded expansion of
frame.

AFFL and AFWA - AFS Adjustable Frame System)
The adjustable frame system consists of brackets mounted to the sides of the damper, these can be
used to support the damper’s weight on two angled bars with slotted holes for mounting. The solution
offers a ersatile way to install a damper that can be easily re-positioned if necessary, whilst also
allowing the installation of the damper itself to be carried by the ductwork contractor before the building
work is finished. In fact an AFS damper can even be installed before the wall is erected!
The AFS is a low-cost and yet highly ersatile solution designed to make damper installation problems
on site a thing of the past.
Because of the clever design of the AFS…
• The damper can be hung before the actual installation
has taken place.
• The damper can be easily repositioned by sliding it up
and down the rail, or adjusting the drop rod fixings.
• The installation is simple and clean, using Firebatt and
sealant.
Support brackets are
fitted to the sides of
the damper.
Angled bars are then
slid into the brackets
and can be used to
hang the damper in its
installed position.

Actuator options and Drive position
Drive location LH and RH
Drive location DBS – Drive both sides
This applies to 2 section wide dampers only. Drive both sides is where each individual section of the damper has
its own driveshaft either side of the damper assembly.
Drive location DBTM – Drive bottom
This signifies that the drive is at the bottom. The actuator shall be fitted at the bottom of the damper and the
blades shall be vertically orientated. Spacers will be fitted to the linkage at the top of the damper to prevent
blades dragging on the bottom seals.
Drive location DTOP – Drive top
This signifies that the drive is at the top. The actuator shall be fitted at the top of the damper and the blades shall
be vertically orientated. Spacers will be fitted to the linkage at the top of the damper to prevent blades dragging
on the bottom seals.
Drive location COMT – Drive External outer and top centre
On a multi-section damper only; this signifies that the outer dampers will have actuators on the sides and the
centre dampers will have actuators on the top. The outer dampers will therefore have horizontal blades and the
centre dampers will have vertical blades. On vertical blade dampers spacers will be fitted to the linkage at the top
of the damper to prevent blades dragging on the bottom seals.
Right handed damper RH) - Default
The right handed damper has the
actuator shaft on the right hand side
as you view the damper looking into
the access side (long spigot).
Left handed damper LH)
The left handed damper has the
actuator shaft on the left hand side
as you view the damper looking
into the access side (long spigot).

Drive location COMB – Drive External outer and bottom centre
On a multi-section damper only; this signifies that the outer dampers will have actuators on the sides and the
centre dampers will have actuators on the bottom. The outer dampers will therefore have horizontal blades and
the centre dampers will have vertical blades. On vertical blade dampers spacers will be fitted to the linkage at the
top of the damper to prevent blades dragging on the bottom seals.
Blade orientation V, H and COM Vertical, Horizontal and Combination)
The blade orientation can be changed to suit customer requirements. Horizontal blades are used with a side
mounted actuator, where as vertical blades allow the actuator to be mounted at the top or bottom.
Where vertical blades are fitted, the linkage at the top of the damper is fitted with spacers to prevent the blades
dragging on the bottom seals.
On multi-section dampers there can be a combination of horizontal and vertical blade dampers. In this instance
the product code COM is used.

Actuator mounting
The actuator can be mounted horizontally along the damper or vertically. This should be specified at order
placement. The damper can also be mounted underneath in a horizontal, left or right handed orientation.
Examples are shown below.
For dampers with Horizontal orientated blades (These would be coded H)
Horizontal Left (LH, AMH) Horizontal Right (RH, AMH)
Vertical Left (LH, AMVD) Vertical Right (RH, AMVD)
Note: When the nominal duct size is 28 mm or less, wall mounted dampers in the Horizontal actuator
orientation shown above will require an extended actuator bracket in order to prevent the actuator fouling
on the AFS bracket and rail. Floor mount dampers will always use the standard bracket.
In all cases the actuator will protrude over the spigot edge by 5 mm. The actuator will be spaced away
from the spigot to allow fitment of duct.
Note: The actuator will be level with the edge of the spigot on dampers of 42 mm nominal duct height. All
dampers smaller 42 mm than this will have actuator protrusion over the edge of the damper spigot.
