Introduction
Advanced Air (UK) Ltd have been manufacturing a comprehensive range of fire dampers and fire smoke
dampers since 1975. We have always taken pride in our products and tested to the highest standards,
originally to BS476 and now more stringent testing to CE labelling under the Construction Product Regulation
which was introduced 1st July 2013.
All our fire, fire smoke and smoke control dampers have been tested to BS EN 1366-2 and BS EN 1366-10.
This is to cover a variety of installations used on sites today. Under CE labelling all dampers must follow the
Product Standards BS EN 15650 and BS EN 12101-8 which ensures the product is consistent and supplied to
the same specification and standard as tested. Any deviation or changes from the installations in this manual
would require the dampers to be subject to a new test or approval sought from Local Building Control.
In line with product standards we are pleased to oer this installation manual covering installation, operation
and maintenance instructions together with Health and Safety information. We have also included within this
manual an example of the Fire Damper Certificate DW145 Inspection and Handover Check Sheet which is to
be completed by the installer. A separate certificate is required per damper.
The installation contained in this manual cover most installation on site. However, there are still installation
which Advanced Air (UK) Ltd have not yet tested. We are continually reviewing requirements and continuously
developing the products. As additional installation tests are carried out and classified, installations will be
added to this manual, and the Declaration of Performance (DoP) updated accordingly.
Health and Safety
Any instruction contained within this manual must be undertaken by competent trained personnel. When
completing the installation standard PPE should be used, steel toe cap boots, hard hat, gloves, protective
eyewear along with any other specific site or material instructions.
The size and weight of dampers vary, and it may require two or more persons to safely handle and move
them. Do not lift the dampers by the blades or the actuator.
For the installation of dampers at high level, the correct lifting equipment shall be used in accordance with
the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and specific site rules.
All waste materials should be collected and disposed of defined by the suppliers.

Preparation
1 Ensure that the damper is kept
in a clean dry environment and
that there is no damage to the
damper.
2 Remove all the packaging
before installation.
3 Work out the opening size to be
cut using the adjacent table.
Installation sequence
4 The drywall will consist of two layers of 15mm plasterboard each side of steel studwork with an optional
50mm mineral wool insulation. The opening will be a letterbox construction with overlapping layers
of plasterboard with an opening clearance around the damper casing in line with the table above.
5 Two M10 drop rods shall be fitted on the side of the drywall to which the access side of the damper
will be positioned. These should be securely installed in line with the manufacturer’s fixing instructions
in a position to match the AFS rail.
6 The drop rods should have a nut screwed on for clamping the rail from above.
7 Slide the AFS rails on each side of the damper into the brackets and insert the “Z” piece into the
bracket slot pushing it up against the underside of the rail. Insert the 8mm bolt from above into the slot
through the “Z” piece fitting the nut until tight to secure the rail.
8 The damper should be mounted centrally in the opening with the access side flush with the wall, as
detailed in the drawing. The drop rods are to slide through the slots in the rail and a nut screwed on
to take the support of the damper rail. The damper must then be levelled and when in the correct
position the nut above the rail should be tightened against the rail.
9 The galvanised mild steel ductwork connecting to the damper spigots must overlap by up to 40mm,
leaving a minimum 10mm clearance for any duct expansion in a fire situation.
10 The galvanised mild steel ductwork connections must be sealed with an approved galvanised mild
steel ductwork sealer and fixed with low resistance fixings such as aluminium rivets that will melt at
high temperature allowing the duct to break away without aecting the integrity of the installation.
11 The connecting galvanised mild steel ductwork must be independently supported within one metre of
the connections and have been installed in accordance with DW144.
12 The gap between the damper and the wall opening will need filling with two layers of 50mm thick
140kg/m fire batt cut to an interference fit and pushed in to place. All cut edges must be sealed with
a fire batt sealant to BS EN 13501-2. A fire rated intumescent mastic to BS EN 13501-2 shall be applied
to each joint.
13 An access door should be fitted on the access side of the damper for inspection and maintenance of
the damper.
14 When the damper installation has been completed checks should be made to ensure the AFS rails are
secure and there is no movement, operation of the damper should be checked.

While we have tested a damper 2,000 x 2,000mm, larger sizes can be supplied in sections but the installation will need to be checked by a
competent structural engineer as stated in the Extended Fields of Applications BS EN 15882-2:2015. With all larger sizes there should be a risk
assessment carried out and a full method statement documented to ensure the correct lifting gear and safety precautions are in place prior to
the installation being carried out.
NOTE
The multi-section damper will be supplied enclosed in one large casing up to a
maximum spigot size of 2,000mm.

This is an example illustration –
installations through the wall may vary and
should be carried out in accordance with
the ductwork manufacturer’s instructions.
*
Preparation
1 Work out the opening size to be cut 120mm larger than the
nominal duct width/height, at a tolerance of ±5mm (for example
a 1,000 x 1,000mm duct requires a 1,120 x 1,120mm opening).
Installation sequence
2 Drill and rivet at 150mm centres, the 50x50x5mm stiening
flange to the galvanised mild steel ductwork.
3 Pass the duct through the opening, so that the flange is
centralised in the wall.*
4 Drop rod anchor points, and M10 drop rods to support the
galvanised mild steel ductwork, should be positioned within
350mm of the wall, on both sides.*
5 Install Unistrut to the drop rods with M10 fixings, and adjust to
that they fully support the weight of the galvanised mild steel
ductwork, using a spreader plate. The position of the duct
should be adjusted so that the stiening flange is centralised in
every axis.
6 Fill the wall opening around the duct with 85-115kg/m2mineral
wool insulation, on both sides of the wall.*
7 Fit two layers of 200mm wide, 12.5mm thick plasterboard
around the damper, overlapping the joints, to form a pattress
around the galvanised mild steel ductwork on both sides of the
wall. The pattress must be axed with drywall screws which bite
into the steel stud channel at 150mm centres, and sealed with
a bead of intumescent acrylic sealant to BS EN 13501-2, which
shall be applied to back of each pattress section before it is
fitted.*
8 The damper is mounted to the duct using self tapping fixings, at
150mm centres. When the duct is slid over the damper spigot,
an overlap of up to 40mm is permitted, allowing for 10mm for
duct expansion.

Preparation
1 Ensure that the damper is kept
in a clean dry environment and
that there is no damage to the
damper.
2 Remove all the packaging
before installation.
3 Work out the opening size to be
cut using the adjacent table.
Installation sequence
4 Install 40mm x 40mm x 4mm angle through the AFS brackets ensuring they are of enough length to
extend past the opening on each side by 100mm.
5 Position the damper evenly in the centre of the opening.
6 Secure the angles to the floor. Mark the hole positions on the angle at least 50mm away from the
opening and install M8 steel anchors and bolt the angle to the floor.
7 ‘Z’ angles are required to support the first layer of fire batt. These measure 50mm x 150mm x 50mm
by 100mm wide and 1.6mm thick – they are to be positioned on all fire batt joints on the bottom layer
and evenly spaced on a 500mm minimum pitch.
8 The gap between the damper and the wall opening will need filling with three layers of 50mm think
150kg/m3fire batt cut to an interference fit and pushed into place. All cut edges must be sealed with
a fire batt sealant to BS EN 13501-2. A fire rated intumescent mastic to BS EN 13501-2 shall be applied
to each joint.
9 The galvanised mild steel ductwork connecting to the damper spigot must overlap by 40mm, leaving
a 10mm clearance for any duct expansion in a fire situation.
10 The galvanised mild steel ductwork connections must be sealed with an approved galvanised mild
steel ductwork sealer and fixed with low resistance fixings such as aluminium rivets that will melt at
high temperature allowing the duct to break away without aecting the integrity of the installation.
11 The connecting galvanised mild steel ductwork must be independently supported within one metre of
the connections and have been installed in accordance with DW144.
12 An access door should be fitted on the access side of the damper for inspection and maintenance.
13 When the damper installation is complete the operation of the damper should be checked.

Installation sequence
4 In the opening, mark the positions for the turnback tabs on the HEVAC frame, making sure that the
HEVAC casing will sit flush with the floor surface..
5 Create 20mm deep pockets for the HEVAC tabs to be located in.
6 Oer up the damper into the opening from below or clamp angles spanning the opening.
7 Bend the HEVAC tabs so that they lock into the pockets.
8 Fire batt of a minimum 25mm thickness and a density of 140kg/m shall be installed under the damper
frame to serve as shuttering to facilitate installation of the penetration seal all around the damper.
9 A 4:1 mortar mix can then be gradually applied between the wall and the damper, ensuring the mortar
is only filled up to the HEVAC frame and not the damper spigots. This ensures the damper can move
within the HEVAC frame.
10 The fire batt shall remain in situ after the mortar has been applied.
11 The galvanised mild steel ductwork connecting to the damper spigots must overlap by up to 40mm,
leaving minimum 10mm clearance for any duct expansion in a fire situation.
12 The galvanised mild steel ductwork connections must be sealed with an approved galvanised mild
steel ductwork sealer and fixed with low resistance fixings such as aluminium rivets that will melt at

Initial operating check
The 2530 damper should only be commissioned once it is fully installed and connected to electrical power.
The damper installation should be inspected thoroughly to ensure that it is clean and free of any internal
debris before the damper actuation is tested as per the following instructions:
• Isolate the power.
• Remove the access door.
• Test the damper manually by using the Allen key provided and
turning it clockwise until the damper is fully opened, mechanically
lock the actuator by using a screwdriver to turn the STOP SHAFT 5.
• Visually inspect the damper checking that the damper is in its fully
opened position.
• Close the damper by turning the Allen key clockwise and releasing
it, the spring action of the actuator will wind the damper to its fully
closed position.
• Visually inspect through the access door that the blades are fully
closed.
• Reapply power to the actuator. The actuator will start to travel, and
a GREEN light will be lit on the Thermal Release housing, it will take
90 seconds to fully open.
• The switch on the Thermal Release housing can be pressed to
simulate activation of the thermal release, the LED light will turn
RED and the actuator will spring return to its unpowered position,
it should take 15 seconds to complete this cycle.
• Release the switch and the damper will return to its fully opened
position.
• Visually inspect through the access door that the blades are fully
open and then re-fit the access door.
• Damper not fully opening or closing?
• Obstruction to the blades – remove the obstruction.
• Incorrect set up of the actuator – the actuator has been adjusted by others from the Factory Set
position.
• For other faults contact Advanced Air Sales Oce.
• Complete any relevant reports.
Maintenance
2530 dampers are installed as a life safety product and it is essential that they are always maintained so they
are in a good, clean working condition. In accordance with BS9999 Annex W.1 maintenance and inspection
should be undertaken annually.
Maintain the dampers as follows;
• Remove the access door to internally inspect the damper.
• Visually inspect all damper components for signs of corrosion, obstructions and build-up of dirt/dust.
• Remove any obstructions, wipe away all dirt and dust from the damper blades, sides seals and duct
surfaces.
• The damper blades are fitted to sintered metal, self-lubricated bearings which do not normally require
any attention.
• Check that the thermal release probe is intact and does not show signs of damage.
• After internal inspections are complete a functional check of the damper should be made.
• The 2530 damper is fitted with an electrical thermal release probe and its housing has a LED light and
an On/O toggle switch.
• A GREEN light indicates that there is a power supply and that the thermo sensor is OK.
• A RED light indicates a power supply but there is a fault.
• No light indicates that there is no power supply.
• Push and hold the toggle switch to simulate over-temperature. This simulates the response of the
release, enabling the proper functioning test of the actuator and damper. It should take 15 seconds for
the damper to close and during the test the LED light will turn RED.
• After checking that the blades on the damper are fully closed, release the switch and the actuator
will power to its open position and the light will turn GREEN, check that the blades are in the open
position.
• Refit the access door and complete maintenance reports as appropriate.
