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.

Initial operating check
The 0400MAN damper should only be commissioned once the installation has been completed.
The damper 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;
• Remove the access door.
• To operate the damper the thermal fuse must be unscrewed, then turn the handle anticlockwise until
it is in the open position, as shown on the label.
• The damper blade is under tension from a spring so the handle must be held in position whilst the
thermal fuse is re-tightened, the blade will hold in the open position.
• To ensure the damper is operating correctly the damper should be tested by first checking that there
are no obstructions to the handle and that it is free to move. Then unscrew the thermal fuse quickly,
this will release the blade to its closed position.
• Check that the blade is in the closed position by checking that the handle is in line with the close
position on the label.
• If everything is satisfactory then reset the damper to its correct position, either fully open or if it is to
balance air then this can be done so long as the damper remains at least 50% open.
• Re-fit the access door.
• If the damper has not closed, the blade may have been incorrectly positioned, or the damper may be
faulty. Please contact Advanced Air for advice.
Maintenance
0400MAN dampers are installed as a life safety product and it is essential that they are always maintained in
good, clean working condition. In accordance with BS9999 Annex W.1 maintenance and inspection should
be undertaken annually.
Maintain the dampers as follows;
• Mark the handle position on the label so that it can be reset to the same position after testing.
• Remove the access door.
• Visually inspect all damper components for signs of corrosion, obstructions and build-up of dirt/dust.
• Remove any obstructions, wipe away all dirt/dust from the damper blades and duct surfaces.
• After internal inspections are complete a functional check of the damper should be made.
• Test the damper by unscrewing the thermal fuse quickly, check that the reaches its closed position.
• Reset the damper to its original position and re-tighten the fusible link.
• If there is a requirement to change the thermal fuse this can be done simply by unscrewing it fully from
the case and replacing with a new one. The thermal fuse should be replaced if it has been activated,
damaged or part of a regular service plan.
• Refit the access door and complete inspection reports as appropriate.

Initial operating check
The 0400FME damper should only be commissioned once it is fully installed and connected to electrical
power. The damper 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 the damper checking that the damper is in its fully
closed position.
• 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
0400FME dampers are installed as a life safety product and it is essential that they are always maintained
so they are in a 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 and duct surfaces.
• 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 0400FME 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
thermal release, enabling the proper functioning test of the actuator and damper. It will 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 the blades are in the open position.
• Refit the access door and complete maintenance reports as appropriate.
