Product presentation AVANTAGE DP
The Smoke Control Damper Avantage DP is available as single (1V) shutter units, with a double action actuator that allows the remote
opening and resetting of the blade. The Avantage DP is a CE marked product certified in accordance with EN12101-8 suitable for
vertical mounting within apertures in ducts or structures. It has a C10000 reliability classification that is suitable for use in combined
smoke control and environmental systems and it offers a fire-resistance of 60 or 120 minutes (see the classification overview), and
ensures minimum pressure loss.
Smoke control dampers are suitable for use in ventilating protected lobbies, venting to shafts either naturally or mechanically. They
open to evacuate smoke in emergency situations whilst maintaining fire resistant integrity in standby position.

6Storage and handling
Storage and handling
As this product is a safety element, it should be stored and handled with care.
Avoid:
• any kind of impact or damage
• contact with water
• deformation of the casing
It is recommended:
• to unload in a dry area
• not to flip or roll the product to move it
• not to use the damper as a scaffold, working table, etc.
• not to store smaller dampers inside larger ones
Installation
General points
∎The installation must comply with the classification report and the installation manual delivered with the product.
∎The installation of the shaft must comply with the classification report delivered by the manufacturer.
∎Axis orientation: see the declaration of performance.
∎Avoid obstruction of adjoining ducts.
∎Verify if the blade can move freely.
∎Rf-t smoke dampers may be applied to ducts that have been tested according to EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9 as appropriate, con-
structed from similar materials with a fire resistance, thickness and density equal or superior to these of the tested materials.
Caution: when fitting, the product should be handled with care and remain protected from any sealing products.
Caution: before putting the installation into operation, clean off all the dust and dirt.
Caution: bear in mind the blade's clearance inside the smoke evacuation duct.
Warning
Extreme care must be taken in the installation of Smoke Control Dampers and regard should be given to health and safety pro-
visions. The Installation should only be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel. Installers, users and maintainers
are reminded of their duties under the U.K. Health and Safety at Work Act, the European Community Workplace Directives and
other National Legislation and Guidelines on Safety.
Do not attempt to lift, support or move the damper by the drive linkage transom. If the transom is bent in any way it will cause
damage to the motor drive shaft and gearbox. Do not attempt to operate the damper if the transom bar is damaged.

Installation
Operation: manual opening
20°
20°
Unlocking 1V
Turn the key 20° anti clockwise and the damper will push open
without releasing the magnetic latch. Turn the key past 20
degrees and the latch will disengage and the damper will also
push open. To re-arm the latch insert key and turn clockwise.
Operation: manual closing
20°
Resetting 1V
Insert the key and turn 35° clockwise. Press the drive linkage
bar to release from the stand-open position and pull the dam-
per door slowly closed until the latch locates with the strike
plate.
Electrical connection
The DP drive motor is a 24 volt DC 0.8 amp rated motor that requires a 24 volt ± 5% fully smooth and rectified supply.
The damper operates on a 2 wire reverse polarity connection. Terminate cables in a site supplied junction box with screw terminals.
The 24 volt DC motor connections are polarity sensitive. Be sure positive (+) and Negative (-) are connected correctly.
Wire colours: brown = 24 V DC (+); blue = 24 V DC (-); white = not used (programming).
Operation: brown + and blue -: opening; brown - and blue +: closing.
It is recommended that only control systems conforming to standards BS ISO 21927-9, pr BS EN12101-9 and BS EN 12101-10 are used to
operate the smoke control dampers.

8Installation
The Avantage DP is a 24 volt DC drive open, drive closed unit in-
corporating a 24 volt DC pulse active locking latch. It is supplied
with double insulated trailing lead cables for onsite connection
in accordance with these instructions. Mechanisms need to be
visually inspected prior to installation to check any physical
damage to actuators or cables.
The trailing lead cable exit position can be any of the 4 corners
of the damper.
Drill a hole in the refractory material at the chosen corner(s).
The galvanised part at the inside of the shutter is already
indented.
Caution: after passing and fixing the cables, it is necessary to
caulk around the electrical cables with fire resistant adhesive
sealant (BCM f.e.).

2
It is recommended that once the holes have been drilled at the
cable exit position, the cables are laid and clipped in position
around the inside perimeter of the damper framing and each
cable “Fed and Drawn” through these holes to the outside of
the damper spigot. At all times take care not to damage the
cable insulation.
Lead the cables through the opening. Use the fixation clips
(1) and the plastic cable clamp (2) to attach the cables to the
frame.

Installation
Position in the shaft
The shutter is affixed to the smoke evacuation shaft through a
sleeve. That sleeve can be indifferently installed: in the shaft, in
the axis of the shaft or outside the shaft (or shaft extension).
Maintenance
∎No specific maintenance required.
∎Schedule at least two running checks each year.
∎Remove dust and all other particles before start-up.
∎Follow the local maintenance regulations (i.e. BS9999 Annex V; NF S 61-933) and EN13306.
