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.

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 the 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 correct time/date and smoke timing for the specified room size.
9. Ensure the “Service Mode” dip switch No 3 is selected to “Off”.
10. With the power applied insert fluid bag and make sure the fluid switch is closed correctly.
11. Make sure all tamper switches are closed and you are ready for test.

ACCESS
To access the PCB connections and programming panel (battery and fluid bag access covered in
the relevant sections) remove the front cover by unscrewing the 2 set screws on either side and
unhooking it from the top of the case; refitting is the reverse process. Installation cable entry is
through the serrated grommet on the left back of the case.
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). In all cases, the installer must fit the Smoke Screen using appropriate
fasteners.
Suspension Kit (All M8)
Uni-strut 1 x 1 metre
Threaded bar 2 x 1 metre
Fixings: 2 x 38mm washer
4 x 25mm washer
6 x full nut
2 x drop-in anchor
2 x channel nuts,
Wall mounting
Wall mounting is achieved using a simple wall bracket (1). The bracket should be attached to a
suitable wall. 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, but no higher than 3 metres
above the floor. Fit the angle brackets to the Smoke Screen with 4 x set screws and put 2 more
set screws a few threads into the top holes (2 & 3). Carefully locate the Smoke Screen on the
bracket locating the top set screws onto the wall bracket hooks, add 2 set screws to lock the unit
and tighten all four (4).

Suspension mounting
Suspending the Smoke Screen range is achieved using the ‘Suspension Kit’ comprising a length of
Uni-strut, two sections of threaded bar and fixings (1). Prepare the Smoke Screen by fitting the
angle brackets as described above. Fix the required length of M8 threaded bar to the wall bracket
using 4 x nuts and 4 x 25mm washers (5). 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
threaded bar to the uni-strut using the channel nuts, 38mm washers and M8 nuts (6). Once this is
done the Smoke Screen can be lifted into position and the set screws tightened as above (4). 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. The final assembly, viewed ‘through the ceiling’ is in photo (7).
NOZZLE CHANGING
To change the nozzle, first remove the front cover then
remove, and replace, the nozzle using a 12mm ring spanner.
Always use a new copper washer, which may need dressing
slightly to seat an angled nozzle in the correct orientation.
The Smoke Screen is delivered with a single-hole straight
nozzle and the following are also available –2-hole
horizontal, 3-hole horizontal, 1-hole 30 deg angle down and
2-hole 30 deg angle down.
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’ (this can be changed to ‘closed’ – see “Invert Trigger Mode” in the
Programming section). 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 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 relay connected across the 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 opens when the sensor sees movement.
Additional Hold-off –any form of N/C relay or micro switch can beconnected 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. Clean contact outputs are provided for connection to the Alarm Panel for ‘Status Output’,
‘Liquid Status’, ‘Battery Output’, ‘Tamper Status’ and ‘Verification Output’. See the notes on the
“Generic Connection Diagram” for the function of these outputs.
WARNING
This operation is usually carried out
during installation. If the Smoke Screen
has been in service the nozzles 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 nozzles to cool.

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.
SERVICE MODE
Setting dip switch No 3 of the bank marked “On – Service Mode” (see diagram under “Circuit
Board Layout”) to “on” puts the Smoke Screen into “Service Mode”. This setting prevents the
Smoke Screen from making smoke whilst work is conducted with power applied.
FAILURE TO DISABLE SERVICE MODE WHEN NO LONGER REQUIRED WILL PREVENT
THE SMOKE SCREEN OPERATING.
TURBO SMOKE MODE
When “Turbo Smoke Mode”is set (see section under “Programming”) the Smoke Screen produces
a high-volume burst of smoke to provide rapid obscuration of a local, high value protected area. In
“Normal Smoke Mode” the Smoke Screen produces a short full-output burst followed by a lower
output over a longer period.
TAMPER
There are 4 tamper circuits on the Smoke Screen, one on each cover (front, battery and fluid) and
an external tamper input on PCB Terminal Block “B”. The external tamper input can be disabled if
not in use by selecting Dip Switch 3 (marked “TAMP”) to “On”, which bridges the input pins on the
PCB. A “Tamper Status” output is provided on PCB Terminal Block “C”. A tamper ‘open’ state
provides only an indication of the event; it does not automatically activate the Smoke Screen or
prevent it from activation.
FLUID MANAGEMENT
Fluid capacity. There are 2sizes (500ml or 1000ml) of transparent bag containing ‘Smoke Fluid’ for
the Smoke Screen. It can also be operated with an external 5000ml bottle –please contact Concept
Smoke Screen if you wish touse this facility.
Fluid monitoring. The Fluid Level is monitored using an on-board timer that measures the amount of
fluid used bytiming consumption when the Smoke Screen is activated. Each time the bag clamp is
unfastened and the fluid bag is replaced the micro switch is cycled which resets the timer and the
Smoke Screen will calculate this as a new fluid bag. See the section on “Programming” to set the
volume of fluid available to the Smoke Screen.
External reservoir. When a 5-Litre external fluid bottle is used and the timer is set to 5000ml via
the LCD control panel the function of the micro switch on the fluid bag holder is changed and a bag
should not be fitted. In this mode, with power applied to the Smoke Screen, pressing and leaving
open the micro switch on the fluid bag holder resets the fluid timer to 5000ml available.
Changing a fluid bag: Ensure that power is applied to the Smoke Screen. Open the right-hand
access panel. Unscrew the bladder neck holder retaining screw and the bag support screw. Push
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.
Page 10 of 16
Use the upper support point for 1000ml bags
and
the lower support point for 500ml bags.
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 OR 5000ML BOTTLE 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.
BATTERY MANAGEMENT
Operation. The Smoke Screen is fitted with a battery to provide power to the electronic circuits
and pump (not to the fluid heater) in the event of a mains power failure. This ensures that 1 hour
after a mains power failure at an ambient temperature of 20 deg C the Smoke Screen can provide
a 20 second activation. The Smoke Screen is capable of activating in the event of a battery fault or
if the batteries are not fitted; in the latter case, to avoid battery fault indications, the facility should
be disabled (see section under “Programming”). The Smoke Screen is supplied with a set of
batteries but they are not fitted on delivery. Replacement batteries may be obtained from your
Smoke Screen installer or Concept Smoke Screen.
Removal and replacement. To remove the batteries, open the access panel on
the left side of the Smoke Screen. Slide out the old batteries and replace with
new units ensuring that the battery is upright and the contacts enter the battery
compartment first.
Battery Switch. Later models (post serial number 1013301) of the Smoke
Screen have a switch in the battery compartment to permit the batteries to be
disconnected from the system whilst remaining in place. The delivery setting is
“Off”; select to “On” if intending to use the battery facility.
THE SMOKE SCREEN WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL DURING A MAINS POWER FAILURE IF
THE BATTERIES ARE DISABLED.

OPERATION
While the Smoke Screen is heating up the LCD display will show “Heating up”and the LED indicator will
be Yellow. If any of the access panels are open “Tamper Fault” will be displayed on the LCD and the
LED indicator will flash yellow once every 5 seconds; a tamper indication will not, on its own, prevent the
Smoke Screen from producing smoke. When the Smoke Screen reaches thecorrect working
temperature, and a full Smoke Fluid Bag has been correctly installed, the LED Indicator will go Green
and the LCD Display will show the date and time.
Stopping smoke. If the ‘Hold-Off’ is closed during an activation the Smoke Screen will continue to
produce smoke for the set Smoke Time. An activation can only be stopped by closing the ‘Alarm Set’
and/or the ‘Trigger’.
Re-triggering smoke (Hold-off attached).If, after it has made smokefor the preset time, the Smoke
Screen receives another hold-off alarm with open ‘Alarm Set’ and ‘Trigger’ inputs it will ‘re-trigger’ and
make smoke again.
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 fitted the 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’ or ‘Trigger’ contacts are closed.
Smoke Screen stand-alone test. The Smoke Screen can be tested when it is ready to operate
(indicated by a steady green LED) and it is not in “Service Mode” by pressing the button on the PCB
marked “PB1”. This produces smoke only whilst the button is pressed. NB: this does not check that
the inputs and connections to the Smoke Screen are correct.

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: Ensure “Service Mode” is disabled.
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 is 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.
