Working conditions
Dampers are designed for smoke exhaust piping systems with underpressure max. 1500 Pa or
overpressure max. 500 Pa.
Dampers are designed for maximum air velocity 15 m/s.
Dampers are designed for installation with horizontal blade axis. Flow direction has to be led from
actuating side (it is labeled by arrow on the damper casing).
Dampers are suitable for systems without abrasive, chemical and adhesive particles.
Dampers are designed for macroclimatic areas with mild climate according to EN 60 72133.
Temperature in the place of installation is permitted to range from -30°C to +50°C.
Design with actuating mechanism
Belimo actuators are used for dampers, series BEN for 230V AC resp. 24 V AC/DC.
After connection to the power supply voltage, the actuator moves the damper blade to the
"OPEN" position or "CLOSED" (according to the corresponding connection, see wiring diagram).
If the power supply is interrupted, the actuator stops at the current position. The signalling of the
"OPEN" and "CLOSED" damper blade positions is ensured by two built-in fixed “potential-free”
end- limit switches.
The actuator for operating the damper blade is mounted in an insulated cover/box. It is accessible
after removing the cover lid. The electrical connection of the actuator is made with a non-
flammable cable (or a cable located in the adjoining cable duct), which passes through an
opening made in the wall of the insulated cover/box when installing the damper or when
connecting the actuator power cable. The cable entry must meet a minimum fire resistance of 30
minutes.
Belimo modulating actuators, BEN-SR series for 24V AC/DC are specially designed for remote
control of fire dampers. The position of the damper blade is adjustable by means of control volt-
age 0 (2)...10V DC.
The signalling of the "OPEN" and "CLOSED" damper blade positions is ensured by two built-in
fixed “potential-free” limit switches.
The actuator for operating the damper blade is mounted in an insulated cover/box. It is accessi-
ble after removing the cover lid. The electrical connection of the actuator is made with non-flam-
mable cables (or cables located in the adjoining cable duct), which pass through an opening
made in the wall of the insulated cover when installing the damper or when connecting the pow-
er cables of the actuator. The cable entry must meet a minimum fire resistance of 30 minutes.
