1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this operation and maintenance manual is to get the user acquainted with the
intended use, design, the principle of operation, correct installation, and operation of the
product. The manual also includes additional information about the operating conditions,
maintenance, and warranty conditions of the product.
2. SUBJECT
This manual concerns the entire group of single-plane fire dampers type, FID B. Compliance with
the Manual guidelines ensures correct functioning of the device in terms of fire protection of
rooms as well as safety of the system users.
3. DEVICE INTENDED USE
3.1 APPLICATION
Single-plane fire dampers type FID B (square cross-section) may be used as:
cut-off fire dampers –FID B/S
cut-off fire dampers for fire ventilation systems –FID B/V
cut-off fire dampers for mixed fire ventilation systems –FID B/M
transfer dampers –FID B/T
relief dampers –FID B/G
CAUTION!
Cut-off fire dampers for fire ventilation systems the FID B/V and fire dampers for mixed fire
ventilation systems the FID B/M, have one declaration of performance in accordance with the
requirements of law.
The marker -M and the word "mixed" used in the document are trademarks used by the
manufacturer.
The construction and execution of the above dampers is the same regardless of the commercial
mark.
The FID B dampers have the MA feature (manual activate). This means that the damper partition
can change its position during a fire (the damper can open or close). The damper can be
operated without deteriorating its fire properties for 25 minutes.
Dampers classified as "MA" can be used wherever a multi-stage fire scenario is required,
wherever manual control of the smoke exhaust system by authorized units is allowed during a
fire (e.g., the need to "manually" change the position of the damper partitions and " overrides
"of the smoke exhaust system automatically started in the wrong fire zone).
The dampers cannot be operated in systems exposed to dust, except for when they are included in
a special, individually developed programme of service and technical inspections.

3.3 EXECUTION VERSIONS
FID B dampers can be made as rectangular dampers.

Page 4/ 23
3.4 DIMENSION TYPE SERIES
FID B fire dampers are manufactured in the following size ranges:
•Width: 200 to 1200 mm
•Height: 200 to 800 mm
•Width: 600 mm
Aside from the standard dimensions, the fire dampers may also be manufactured in intermediate
sizes. The damper casing can be made longer on request. Maximum surface area of type FID B
dampers: 0,96 m². The minimum damper surface area is 0,04 m².
4. DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
4.1 DESIGN
The FID B dampers consist of a casing with a rectangular cross-section consisting of fireproof
boards, a movable cut-off partition and an actuator operated manually or remotely. The cut off
partition of the dampers is made of fireproof boards and is set in a sheet-metal profile. There
is a ventilation gasket on the inside of the housing. Retaining sections made of fireproof
boards are attached to the inner surface of the housing, limiting the movement of the rotating
partition. The sections are covered with a ventilation gasket. Corners made of steel,
galvanized or stainless steel are attached to the outer surface of the housing in the corners.
For chemically aggressive environments, special enclosures are used, where the fireproof boards
are impregnated.
4.2 FUNCTION
The operating principle and behaviour of the FID B single-plane dampers depend on their
application versions:
cut-off fire dampers –FID B/S
In the normal operating position, the dampers are open. The dampers are closed (to the
safety position) as follows:
automatically, by tripping the thermoelectric trigger
remotely, by tripping an electric axial actuator with a return spring caused by
isolation from the supply voltage
automatically, by tripping the thermal trigger and the driving spring
cut-off fire dampers for fire ventilation systems –FID B/V
In the normal operating position, the dampers are open or closed depending on the
function. The dampers are closed/opened as follows:
remotely, by tripping an electric axial actuator without a return spring, as a result
of applying the supply voltage to the actuator in the right manner. The damper blade
can change position without loss of device functionality for 25 minutes from the time
of activation of operation.
remotely, by tripping the electromagnetic release and a spring as a result of
applying the voltage

In the normal operating position, the dampers are open or close depending on the
function. The dampers are closed/opened as follows:
remotely, by tripping an electric axial actuator without a return spring, as a result
of applying the supply voltage to the actuator in the right manner. The damper blade
can change position without loss of device functionality for 25 minutes from the time
of activation of operation.

transfer fire dampers –FID B/T
In the normal operating position, the dampers are open or closed. The dampers are
switched to the safety position as follows:
automatically, by tripping the thermoelectric trigger
manually, by pressing the control button on the thermoelectric trigger
remotely, by tripping an electric axial actuator with a return spring caused by
isolation from the supply voltage
automatically, by tripping the thermal trigger and the driving spring
relief fire dampers –FID B/G
In the normal operating position, the dampers are open or closed. The dampers are
switched to the safety position as follows:
automatically, by tripping the thermoelectric trigger
manually, by pressing the control button on the thermoelectric trigger
It is possible to manually service check the proper performance of the dampers with electrical
actuators by placing a special hex wrench in the socket marked on the actuator and rotating it
to set the damper isolating partition in the relevant position. Rotate the wrench slowly,
smoothly and carefully. Rotating the wrench too fast or too rapidly may damage the internal
actuator gear or the drive transmission system. It is possible to manually service check the
proper performance of the integrated damper with the trigger control gear by pressing the lever
on the gear. The mcr T2 tester is recommended to check the proper performance of dampers with
electric actuators.
CAUTION!
Never pull directly on the damper isolation partition to open or close the device. This may
result in damage of the self-locking driving gear of the damper that is not covered by
warranty. It is recommended that the fire damper is opened and closed when the ventilation
system is turned off.

6. DEVICE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION!
During the assembly of the damper and installation finish, future access to the device and
removal of the trigger control gear must be considered to enable servicing and inspection.
The FID B dampers can be installed at a distance from the following building partitions:
walls with a wooden structure of the thickness required for fire resistance
walls made of boards with the thickness required for fire resistance
masonry walls of the thickness required for fire resistance
masonry walls made of bricks or blocks of the thickness required for fire resistance
rigid floor with the thickness required for fire resistance
Additionally, the dampers can be installed:
outside the partitions (walls, ceilings)
in modules (multiple dampers sets)

Page 7/ 23
6.1 PRE-ASSEMBLY INSPECTION
Each fire damper is factory inspected by the manufacturer prior to packing and shipping. Upon
unpacking the delivered fire damper, visually examine it for any damage in transport or casing
deformation.
6.2 INSTALLATION OPENING
The minimum size of the opening enabling the correct installation of a rectangular damper is,
depending on the thickness of fire-resistant duct system:
fire protection duct wall thickness 40mm: X min. 160mm
fire protection duct wall thickness 50mm: X min. 200mm
fire protection duct wall thickness 60mm: X min. 180mm
Preparation of the installation opening
6.3 EMBEDDING / FIXING THE DAMPER
1.
Damper FID B BxH
2.
Wooden blocks
The FID B fire damper will work properly if the isolation partition rotation axis is
horizontal. If the case of fire damper must have vertical axial, state this when ordering. The
trigger control gear may be located on the right or on the left-hand side of the damper at any
direction of air flow.
The dampers can be installed on the vertical or horizontal section of the fire ventilation duct
across the duct or on the surface of the sides of the duct. The damper can also be installed in
a construction shaft used for fire ventilation. Acceptable assembly is shown in the figures
further in the document.
Before embedding/fixing, place the damper in the fire ventilation duct or construction shaft
used for fire ventilation, please the damper axially in the previous prepared opening. Level
the device and secure in place. Next, actuate the damper isolation partition by hand to verify
that the rotation is correct (i.e., there is no collision with the damper casing parts, etc.).

Page 8/ 23
Close the damper isolation partition. Install the bracing as shown in the figure. Carefully
fill the gap between the damper casing and the duct with a proper mortar formula that ensures
proper duct and damper fire resistance, and do not let the mortar get into the damper actuation
components (i.e., the trigger control gear, the isolation partition, gaskets and stops). To do
this, the fire damper must be covered with plastic film or other suitable material and remain
so until the embedding and finishing is done. The damper must remain closed until the mortar
has cured. Once the mortar has cured, remove the temporary supports and open and close the fire
damper to verify its performance.
The embedded fire damper must be coaxially connected to the ventilation duct. Protect the fire
damper casing from damage, and specifically from straining the casing during the installation
process. The fire damper cannot bear the load of the ventilation duct or the ventilation system
in which it is installed. Drilling the damper enclosure or driving screws, bolts or other
elements that pierce through the casing to the inside of the damper is prohibited. A mounting
frame RB is used to connect a steel ventilation duct. Once connected to the ventilation ducts,
re-verify the fire damper performance. With the installation finished, carefully clean the fire
damper and make sure that there is no debris which could influence proper performance of the
device.
CAUTION!
It is crucial to keep the device embedding envelope so that the trigger control gear is outside
of the wall envelope and easily accessible.
