Section 1 – System overview
The Model 2100 Smoke and Fire Curtain (M2100) is a motorized smoke and fire protection system housed in
the ceiling of a building. The system uses one motor to lower a specialized curtain into a strategic location.
When not in use the M2100 is retracted into a housing unit which maintains the aesthetic of the facility it is
installed in.

2.1 – Optional Wireless Jogger
As an installation aid, Smoke Guard offers an optional wireless jogger device that provides remote control and
positioning of the curtain.
Once the controller is installed and all system wiring has been completed, the jogger can be connected as
described below:
Step 1 – Power off the Controller and disconnect the batteries.
Step 2 – Remove connector at PCA J3 (white, 10-pin) and insert jogger connector at this position. Connect
jogger red wire to terminal “10. +24VDC” and jogger black wire to terminal “4. COMMON” (system
wire “4” at this terminal can temporarily be stowed unconnected.)
Step 3 –Turn on Controller power and the system automatically enters jog mode within a few seconds. Green
LED will blink while in jog mode.
WARNING: Be sure the Controller is powered down before making connections.
Operation –The curtain position can now be controlled by up/down toggle switch on the transmitter. The
curtain braking action can be adjusted by pressing the BRAKE+ and BRAKE- buttons on the jogger
until the curtain remains stationary. The yellow LED will illuminate to indicate the braking action is
active. Simultaneously pressing both BRAKE+ and BRAKE- will cancel the braking action, the yellow
LED will turn off.
NOTE: Contact Smoke Guard for additional details on the wireless jogger.
2.2 – Checklist
To help keep track of the installation process and ensure that the M2100 is correctly installed, utilize the check
boxes that verify certain critical steps have been completed. A full checklist sheet is available in the appendix.
This is an example of how checklist items will appear throughout the installation.

Section 3 – Main Controller Installation
It is strongly recommended to maintain easy access and a line of sight from the control system to the M2100
Curtain. Remote installations make communication difficult during installation and servicing. An optimal
location to place the Main Controller is above removable ceiling tiles adjacent to the Curtain with a dedicated
access panel.
WARNING: The Main Controller must be within 30 conduit feet of the unit.
NOTE: This product is intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code NFPA
105, National Alarm Code NFPA 105 and within the limits of the authority having jurisdiction.
Consult with site GC/electrician to identify Main Controller location. Reference your Installation
Layout Sheets to determine conduit routing paths. Requirements:
•Main Controller must be within 30 conduit feet of the Main Junction Box mounting location.
•1” conduit is routed between the Main Controller low voltage compartment and Main Junction
Box.
•½” conduit is routed to the Main Controller high voltage compartment to supply 120VAC.
•A 120VAC service disconnect is required at the Main Controller.
NOTE: Only low voltage DC is run between the Main Controller and Main Junction Box.
Consult with site GC/electrician to coordinate routing of conduit between Main Controller low voltage
compartment and initiating device (smoke detector or fire alarm). Requirements:
•½” conduit is required between initiating device and Main Controller low voltage compartment.
•Two 18 or 20 AWG stranded wires labeled 14 and 15 between initiating device and Main
Controller low voltage compartment.
NOTE: Wires 14 and 15 are connected to the Normally Open contacts of the initiating device in parallel
with the Smoke Guard EOL-Diode.
Consult with site GC/electrician to identify optional Wall Switch and/or Door Activation Switches.
Reference your Installation Layout Sheets to determine conduit routing paths and number of circuits.
Requirements:
•½” conduit is required between Wall Switch box and Main Controller low voltage compartment.
•Two 18 or 20 AWG stranded wires labeled 16 and 17 between Wall Switch box and Main
Controller low voltage compartment.
•½” conduit is required between Door Activation Switch box(es) and Main Controller low voltage
compartment.
•Two 18 or 20 AWG stranded wires for each switch between Door Activation Switch box(es) and
Main Controller low voltage compartment. First switch labeled 11 and 13, second switch labeled
12 and 13.
oIf using the optional Illuminated Door Activations Switches include an additional 18 or
20 AWG stranded wire for each switch labeled +24VDC.
•Single gang box.

Section 4 – Housing Installation
The Housing is the metal box in which all the M2100 hardware is installed. The Housing allows the unit to be
installed into a header or other worksite.
The tubular motor for the M2100 unit is located on one side of the curtain assembly. Determine which side
contains the tubular motor. The curtain must unroll from the back of the housing.
NOTE: Units 9ft in length or shorter will have a single housing section and will be shipped with the curtain
assembly pre-assembled inside the housing. Large units will have multiple housing sections that will
be assembled on-site. The curtain assembly for large units will also take place on-site.
Step 1 – Verify the installation
site. Position Housing so
that it rests on the rear of
the housing.
Step 2 – Remove the Front Cover
and Curtain Assembly
components.
Step 3 – For large units, join the
housing sections
together using the
provided joiner plates.
See Figure 4.
Step 4 – Lift the Housing into
place.

Step 5 – Anchor the M2100 Housing sections into place with a #12 self-drilling screw through the mounting
bracket located on the rear panel of the Housing. If your installation is being mounted to a ceiling, the
brackets will be located on the top panel of the Housing.
Anchor Housing into place with #12 self-drilling screws through the rear or top of the Housing
depending on mounting.
NOTE: Consult your architectural drawings to verify anchors specific to your installation site and local
construction requirements.
Figure 5– This shows the location of the End Bracket in the Housing.
WARNING: It is important that the motor wires do not become entangled with the moving parts of the Curtain
Assembly. Zip tie the wires securely to the bracket to keep the wires away from the curtain tabs.
Step 6– Attach fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface at ~3 foot intervals along the remainder of the
housing. Refer to your architectural drawings to determine the appropriate fasteners
Step 7– For units with a Screen Rewind Switch and/or Edge Sensor, use the included clamps to mount the ½”
conduit to the upper rear of the housing per Figure 5.
Step 8 – Install one of the included snap in-hole plugs in the hole at the center of each housing endplate.

Section 5 – Preparing the Tubing
NOTE: For units narrower than 9ft, skip to step 5. If your curtain is mounted from the factory, skip to Section
7.
The Curtain must be attached to the Curtain Tube of the M2100 before it can be installed into the housing.
Step 1 – Locate the outer ends of the Curtain Tube Sections; one will contain the motor and the other will
contain the non-motor mounting shaft. The coupler joins the two opposite sides.
Figure 6– Aligning and joining the
pieces of curtain barrel.
Step 2 – Slide the longer section of tube over the coupler.
Step 3 – Locate the welded seam on the tubing. See Figure 7 for an example. Align the seams of the two pieces.

Section 6 – Curtain Attachment
Step 4 – Drill and rivet the non-coupler section to the coupler to complete the tube assembly.
WARNING: Do not drill in any area not identified in Figure 6 as safe. Failure to do so may cause permanent
damage to the motor.
Step 5 – Mark the side of the tubing at the weld seam location seen in Figure 7 to aid in Curtain assembly in
upcoming steps.
Step 6 – Identify the top of the Curtain (use the logo to aid in orientation) and line the top seam of the Curtain
along the welded seam. The Front of the Curtain should be facing towards the tube as it rolls up.
NOTE: The Front of the curtain is identified by sewing seams on the Curtain. The front of the Curtain is the
side with the smooth seams. Some, but not all M2100 units will have a logo stamped on both sides, so
the seams should be used to identify the Curtain.
Step 7 – Align the top of the Curtain with the weld seam and secure it to the Curtain Tube with the included
tape. Roll the Curtain around the tubing once as shown in Figure 8. Lay the metal band on the curtain
aligned with the weld seam.
Step 8 – Using the mark from step 5, carefully drill holes through the strap, 2 layers of Curtain, and tube with a
#30 bit (0.125”-0.135”). Space these holes ~12” apart and take care to avoid the motor while drilling.
Drill holes in safe
locations appropriate for
1/8” pop rivets.
Step 9 – Insert rivets through the
holes to fasten the strap
and Curtain to the
tubing. See Figure 8 for
reference on this
process.
Pop rivet the Curtain to
the tubing.
Step 10 – Roll the Curtain
completely around the
tube. Do not allow more
than ¼” of telescoping
on either side of the
tube.
Figure 8 – Example of the tubing assembly as seen in this side profile.
Rivets must go through band and
2 layers of Curtain into the tubing.
