HOW DOES YOUR SMOKE SCREEN WORK?
Your Smoke Screen heats a non-toxic fluid under pressure to create smoke, or more accurately a
thermally generated fog, that obscures visibility to discourage intruders from entering your
premises.
This fog is very persistent and will stay suspended in the room for a significant length of time until it
is vented by opening the doors and windows.
The Smoke Screen uses a sophisticated electronic control system to ensure it heats up to, and
maintains, its ideal operating temperature using a minimal amount of electricity.
This control system similarly provides a flexible interface with intruder detectors and alarm systems
to ensure that you are always protected and free of inadvertent activations.

INTRODUCTION
Before commencing installation of the Smoke Screen ensure that you have all of the following
equipment supplied in the box:
1 x Smoke Screen
1 x Mounting Wall Bracket
1 x Smoke Fluid Bag (Boxed)
1 x LiteraturePack & Warning Sign
You will also require:
230-volt mains supply and connections intothe alarm panel or other triggering system.
PIR (or equivalent)to provide the hold-off where required.
OVERVIEW
The Smoke Screen is designed to form part of an existing intruder alarm system but may also be
configured as a ‘stand-alone’ system. A ‘standard’ installation is shown in the following schematic:
STANDARD INSTALLATION
A ‘standard’ installation is configured in the following way:
The Smoke Screen wall or ceiling mounted in the appropriate location;
A Hold-off PIR (or similar device) located within the same area as the Smoke Screen providing a
confirmation signal to theSmoke Screen to start ‘smoke’ production;
A Set command supplied by an Alarm Control Panel, or equivalent, in the form of an N/C (Normally
closed) relay opening when the Alarm system is set for operation;
A Trigger command supplied by an Alarm Control Panel, or equivalent, in the form of an N/C
(Normally closed) relay opening when the Alarm system confirms an intruder alert.

POSITIONING
The Smoke Screen should ideally be sited in a covert position away from prying eyes and thereby
reducing the possibility of tamper or an attack. The ideal place for the Smoke Screen is above a
ceiling from where the smoke plume is used to its best effect, bursting on the ground and
spreading outwards and upwards through 360°. If no suitable ceiling location is available then the
next best location is a wall mounting as close to ceiling height as possible.
Wall mounting.
The optimum wall mounting position for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor facing the
area to be protected and using an appropriate angle nozzle. The maximum mounting-height above
floor level is 3 metres, the minimum is 1 metre and there should be no obstacle within 1 metre of
the smoke output nozzle.
Ceiling mounting.
The optimum ceiling mounting height for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor over the
area to be protected and using a straight nozzle. The maximum mounting-height above floor level
is 3 metres and there should be no obstacle within 1 metre of the smoke output nozzle.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Site the Smoke Screen and fix the bracket to the wall or ceiling as appropriate.
2. For wall mounting leave minimum 150mm clearance to ceiling.
3 Fasten the Smoke Screen to the bracket and open front cover.
4. Make connections as required to the Alarm Panel and Hold-off PIR.
5. Make connection to the Exagon panel (if used) and set the key switch to isolate mode.
6. Connect mains power (230-volt AC, 50Hz).
7. The Smoke Screen will heat up to operating temperature in approximately 20 minutes.
8. Set the parameters required, particularly the smoke timing for the specified room size.
9. With the power applied insert a fluid bag and ensure the fluid switch is closed correctly.
10. Make sure all tamper switches are closed and you are ready for test.

ACCESS
To access the PCB connections and fluid bag remove the front cover by unscrewing the 2 set
screws on the front. Installation cable entry is through the grommet on the right back of the case
next to the mains lead.
MOUNTING
The Smoke Screen can either be ceiling mounted, or wall mounted, using the bracket supplied. If
ceiling mounted, it is recommended that the Smoke Screen is suspended on 2 lengths of M8 studding
from a Unistrut section (pictured). Inall cases, the installer must fit the Smoke Screen using appropriate
fasteners. Box Contents

Page 7of 20
Wall mounting
Wall mounting is achieved using a simple wall bracket (1). The bracket should be attached to a
suitable wall. Washers should be used to provide sufficient gap between the wall and the bracket
(2). Ensure the locking bolt is in place. Use appropriate fixings to secure the bracket to the wall.
We recommend as high a fixing as possible for aesthetic and security/anti-tamper reasons (3).
Now remove the Suspension Brackets from the shipping position on the back of the Smoke Screen
(4). These are not required for Wall Mounting. Carefully locate the Smoke Screen on the bracket
ensuring that the locking bolt lines up with the hole in the fluid compartment (5). Finally, screw on
the bracket locating nut to keep the Smoke Screen in the correct position (6).

Page 8of 20
Suspension mounting
Suspending the Smoke Screen range is achieved using a ‘Suspension Kit’ comprising a length of
Uni-strut, two sections of threaded bar and fixings (1). Prepare the Smoke Screen by removing the
suspension brackets from the ‘shipping position’ and re-fit them so that the brackets protrude and
the ends are angled towards the front of the Smoke Screen (2). Fix the Uni-strut into place. There
are a range of fixings to accommodate concrete ceiling, girders etc; if in doubt contact the fixing
supplier. Attach the treaded bar to the Uni-strut using the Channel nuts (3, 4). Now place the
washers and nuts onto the threaded bar. Once this is done the Smoke Screen can be lifted into
position and the nuts tightened (5). Any final adjustments to height can be made at this stage as
the nuts and the threaded bar will take the weight of the Smoke Screen.

CHANGING THE NOZZLE
Remove the cover (1) using a Tamper Hand Driver No 2 –this is available from CSS. Remove the
nozzle guard (2). Unscrew the nozzle retaining nut (3). Remove the nozzle (4). Select the
appropriate nozzle (5). Replace the nozzle retaining nut, ensuring that the nozzle is set in the
required direction (6). Replace the nozzle guard and the outer casing (7).
NOTE
This operation is usually carried
out during installation. If the
Smoke Screen has been in
service the nozzle(s) will be
extremely hot and will cause injury
if touched. Therefore, the Smoke
Screen should be switched off
and time should be allowed for the
nozzle(s) to cool.

CONTROLLING THE SMOKE
Inputs. There are 3 setsof input connections on the Smoke Screen (Alarm Set, Trigger and Hold Off)
that should be connected to clean contacts. For theSmoke Screen to produce ‘smoke’ all 3 sets of
connections must be ‘open circuit’. If one set of connections is ‘closed circuit’ then the Smoke Screen is
prevented from producing smoke. Hence the production of smoke is controlled using one or a
combination of the following:
Alarm Set –a normally closed volt-free relay connected across the Alarm Panel ‘Set’
connections, which open when the alarm panel is ‘Set’ and closing when the panel is ‘Unset’.
Trigger –a normally closed volt-free relay connected acrossthe Alarm Panel ‘Trigger’ or
‘Intruder’ connections, which open when the alarm panel is in ‘alarm’.
Hold-off –usually a PIR or movement sensor connected to the ‘Hold-off PIR’ connections (N/C),
which open when the sensor seesmovement. If a ‘Hold-off’ is not used the connections should
be left open or the ‘HO Alarm’ parameter set to ‘Off’ in Programming Level 2.
Additional Hold-off –any form of N/C relay or micro switch can be connected to the ‘Hold-off’
connections. Where fitted in addition to the Hold-off PIR both sets of relays must be ‘open’ to
produce ‘smoke’.
Outputs. The Smoke Screen has the following 5 Low voltage output relays with change over volt
free contacts rated at 1 amp max for connection to the Alarm Panel and/or other devices:
Ready. Energised when the Smoke Screen Ready.
Low Fluid. Energised when the Fluid level is OK.
UPS.Energised when the UPS is OK or the UPS Alert is disabled.
Verification. .Energises when the Smoke Screenproduces smoke.
‘Auxiliary’.Provides an extra timer relay initiated by an alarm.
Relay terminology refers to the relay condition in the de-energised state, ie if a relay is Normally
Open (NO) the wiring across Common and NO will be open when not energised and closed when
energised. All output relays have changeover contacts for flexible configuration.
See the notes on the “Generic Connection Diagram” for the function of these outputs.
PCB CONNECTIONS
The PCB connections are access by removing the front panel. Cables should be routed into the
Smoke Screen through the holes with grommets in the chassis.

Page 11 of 20
GENERIC CONNECTION DIAGRAM
20130418-S100 & S150 Generic Connection Diagram-v2
ENERGY SAVING MODE (ESM)
When ESM is set and the Alarm Panel input to the Smoke Screen is “Unset” the Smoke Screen
lowers its running temperature to a standby level to reduce power consumption and cost. When
the Smoke Screen receives an ‘Alarm Set’ input it automatically heats to its normal operating
temperature.
UN-INTERUPTED POWER SUPPLY (UPS)
If required a UPS, or maintained, supply can be incorporated into an installation through the IEC
panel plug on the case. When the mains supply fails this will provide power to the electronic
circuits and pump but NOT the heaters. This will enable the machine to produce smoke after
mains failure until the temperature of the heater block falls below the lower Set Temperature.
A UPS alarm can be enabled in Programming Level 2 so that a ‘NO UPS’ message alternates with
the ‘NORMAL’ status if the UPS supply is not present. If the UPS supply fails the Smoke Screen
operates normally when a mains supply is available.
Mains Power Loss (No UPS connected). When mains power is restored after a temporary power loss
the Smoke Screen will be ‘Not Ready’ for approximately 30 seconds even if it is still up to operating
temperature. This is to allow the Hold-off PIRto stabilise and prevent the SmokeScreen from firing in
the event of a false panel alarm.

TRIGGER DELAY
The Smoke Screen can be set, in ½ sec steps up to 99.5 sec, to delay its response to an activation
command (see “Level 2” in the Programming section). This allows Smoke Screens to activate
sequentially in multiple installations or provides a time window to effect disarming in the case of an
accidental activation.
FLUID MANAGEMENT
Fluid monitoring. The Smoke Screen uses a transparent bag containing 500ml ‘Smoke Fluid’. The
Fluid Level is monitored using an on-boardtimer that measures the amount of fluid used bytiming its
use when the Smoke Screen is activated. Each time the bag clamp is unfastened and the fluid bag is
removed the micro switch is released which resets the timer and the Smoke Screenwill calculate this as
a newfluid bag.
Changing a fluid bag. Ensure that power is applied to the Smoke Screen. Open the front access
panel. Unscrew the bag neck cradle retaining screw and the bag support screw. Insert the fluid
probe into the “out” position in the bag neck.
Place the other end of the bag onto the support and insert the
retaining screw.
Use this support point for upright or face-down installation
and
this support point for a left-side-down installation.
NB: DO NOT install right-side-down or the fluid flow will be adversely
affected
Carefully locate the bag neck in the cradle (1). Close the retaining gate and insert the retaining
screw (2). Ensure the bag neck is held correctly and the fluid micro switch is activated properly.
ALWAYS REPLACE A FULL FLUID BAG EVERY TIME THE FLUID BAG HOLDER MICRO
SWITCH IS RESET. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SMOKE FLUID
PUMP.
WHEN ANEW FLUID BAG IS FITTED POWER MUST BE APPLIED TO THE SMOKE SCREEN TO
RESET THE FLUID TIMER.

OPERATION
Triggering smoke. TheSmoke Screen will produce smoke providing it is in a Ready state when the
following conditions are met:
‘Hold-off’ attached: Both ‘Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs are open and the ‘Hold-off’ is open providing
confirmation.
No ‘Hold-off’ attached: Both ‘Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs are open. If no Hold-off is attached the
Level 2 parameter “HO Alarm” on/off should be changed to “Off”.
Smoke production time. The ‘Smoke On’ time can be set in 15 second increments up to a maximum
of 10 minutes (parameter Level 1). If the Smoke Screen goes ‘Not Ready’ during alarm the system
does not include the ‘Not Ready’ time in the ‘Smoke On’ time total. When the Smoke Screen goes
‘Ready’ again the smoke production restarts until elapsed time reaches the pre-set figure or the ‘Set’
contact is closed.
Stopping smoke. Closing the ‘Trigger’ relay will not stop the production of smoke, which will continue
for the preset time. Close the ‘Set’ relay to stop the smoke output instantly. Note that if the ‘Set’ and
‘Trigger’ inputs are connected together in parallel and operated by one set of NC relay contacts opening
the Smoke Screenwill stop producing smoke when the contact is closed.
Re-triggering smoke (Hold-off attached).If, after it has made smokefor the preset time, the Smoke
Screen receives another HO alarm with an open ‘Set’ input it will ‘re-trigger’ and make smoke again. To
prevent this set the Level 2 parameter “HO Retrig“ to “Off” and the Panel Alarm has to then re-arm
before the system can produce Smoke.

Page 15 of 20
TESTING
Full alarm test. Where possible a full alarm test should be conducted to check that all inputs, outputs
and wiring connections to the Smoke Screen are correct. If a PIRor other detector is fittedthe Smoke
Screen will firefor the designated Smoke Time period once the ‘Alarm Set’, ‘Trigger’ and ‘Hold Off’ (if
fitted) contacts are open. It will stop producing smoke if the ‘Alarm’ contact is closed.
Smoke Screen stand-alone test. The Smoke Screen can make a 3-second smoke test if the Smoke
Screen is ‘Ready’ and the ‘Set’ contact is open by:
Setting Smoke Test parameter in Level 2 to “On” (this is reset to ‘Off’ when the engineer PIN is
entered or times out).
Pressing and holding all 3buttons (! ▼ ▲).
The ‘On’ time is set by the manufacturer to 3 seconds in Level 3 “Smk Test”. NB: this does not check
that the inputs and connections to the Smoke Screen are correct.
LCD, LED AND SOUND INDICATIONS
The Smoke Screen provides onboard status monitoring via an LCD, an LED and a sounder. The
Smoke Screen ‘beeps’ during the ‘alert’ conditions detailed below and, if the condition persists, the
sounder repeats at an interval set in Level 1 parameter “Sound Rpt”. The sounder can be silenced for a
period set in Level 1 parameter “Sound Sil” by a momentary contact closure on the sounder silence
connections. Indications displayed are:

ACTION AFTER EVERY ACTIVATION
Wait until the smoke production has ceased. Do not try to enter the affected area as you
will not be able to see through the fog.
Look for signs of forced entry. If you find any, or you believe that intruders are on the
premises, call the Police and wait for them to arrive. Take no further action.
Where there are no signs of forced entry, open all external doors and wait for the fog to
start clearing –this may take 10 to 15 minutes. Keep watch for intruders that may have
been screened by the fog.
As visibility returns open more doors or windows to speed up the venting process.
Check the fluid level for the Smoke Screen by checking the appropriate LEDs as described
above. It is recommended that the installer or Concept Smoke Screen are requested to
service/replenish the Smoke Screen if there have been 2 or more activations of the Smoke
Screen.
SERVICING AND FLUID REPLENISHMENT
Please note that it is a requirement of the standards relating to security fogging devices the Smoke
Screen is serviced/replenished by an engineer certified by the manufacturer. If you are unsure,
ask the engineer for his certification ID card. It is recommended that the Smoke Screen is checked
and the fluid changed annually by the installer or Concept Smoke Screen. Always ensure that the
Smoke Screen has sufficient fluid or it will not produce smoke when needed. It is recommended
that the installer or Concept Smoke Screen are requested to service/replenish the Smoke Screen if
there have been 2 or more activations of the Smoke Screen.
WARNING - only Smoke Screen fluid should be used as other smoke fluids may cause damage or
noxious fumes.
FAQ
Q: The Smoke Screen is indicating it is ready to operate but does not respond to a full alarm
test.
A: Check that the tamper connections on the PCB (XtTam) are not open and are
looped together or are connected to an external device tamper circuit that is closed.
A: With power applied, and keeping clear of the smoke nozzle, disconnect the
“Alarm”/”Trigger” and “Hold Off” connection plugs from the PCB. If the Smoke Screen
produces smoke there is a miss-connection in the system wiring.
Q: The Smoke Screen puffing out smoke whilst heating up.
A: This is the result of very small amounts of air and residual fluid in the heater block
being changed into an insignificant volume of smoke and can happen particularly after the
Smoke Screen has been moved about when cold.
