INTRODUCTION
Why do you need to foresee Smoke and Heat Extraction (SHE)?
In case of re, it is not the re itself, but the smoke gasses that make most victims. The heat and smoke gasses ll the
building, which complicates evacuation. Skylux developed different natural SHE systems which create smoke free zones
and bring down temperature during re, which enables a quick and safe evacuation.
SHE systems are legally required in specic buildings. In such buildings, only CE certied systems, in accordance with
European (and Belgian) norms, are allowed to be used.
At the same time, our SHE systems provide free natural daylight and daily ventilation.
Skylux‘ SHE systems:
Each of these SHE systems can be operated by a Skycom®CE Master control, possibly in combination with a Skycom®
CE Slave control.
We developed also a control unit fort he Skymax®CE : the Skycom®Skymax®CE control.
The SHE survey (p. 4) mentions the combinations of control units and smoke hatches allowed and supported by Skylux.

SHE TABLE
1. The SHE-control must be installed or serviced by a qualied person, authorised for working at electrical Smoke and Heat
Extraction systems. The control and accessories must be installed according to the local norms.
2. Service!
Before installation or service disconnect electrical power and remove the indicated terminal of the battery. Afterwards
reconnect the terminal, mount the housing before switching on electrical power. Now you can test the complete installation.
3. Service of opening system:
Before servicing the opening system, make sure the opening system can not start to move unexpectedly. Therefore
remove the 8 A glass-fuse before starting service at the opening system. This disables the main supply and the battery
supply of the opening system.
4. Batteries:
- To avoid explosion danger follow these safety rules:
• Never short circuit a battery.
• Do not use external chargers. Explosive gasses can be released.
• Always handle batteries with care as they contain strong acids.
- Avoid to store controls with batteries for a long time. Batteries which are not used must be recharged (unload & load)
every 3 months to slow down the capacity loss.
- Don’t discharge batteries to deep as they might be damaged.
- There is no guarantee on batteries.
5. Guarantee expires:
• If controls or cables (especially motor cable) are wrongly dimensioned;
• If non-original parts are used. Use only original parts delivered by AG.Plastics. Especially take care to use a
control which is suitable for the SHE opening system;
• If opening systems are not connected according the installation instructions. Most opening systems must be
connected through a limit switch. Please consult thoroughly the electric scheme of the appropriate SHE system
before connection.
6. Next to the installation of a SHE system, make sure you take all necessary steps to be able to proceed to a smooth
evacuation. Foresee several escape routes, make sure the remen can reach easily the re place. See to the possibility
of a quick signal to the re department in case of re by a full re detection system,… Consult your architect, constructor
and re-department.
7. The SHE-system needs mains voltage. In case of power failure, the system will continue to operate on its batteries in a
limited period of time (min 72 h).
8. Mains power failure gputting out of service:
If the mains voltage is switched off for a longer period of time (> 1 day), disconnect the indicated pin of the battery and
insulate the wire end. Otherwise, you will risk that the batteries discharge and will be damaged.
9. There is a possibility that the smoke does not reach the detector due to chimney effects through walls, shafts, roofs. Also
behind a closed door or at another oorlevel may the smoke not be detected. A detector may be less sensitive to certain
types of re so that the signal is given in a later phase. Make sure to install sufficient detectors at right places.
10. It may occur that the opening system is not correctly operated due to a panic situation in case of re.
11. The SHE-control does not protect people or objects from being stuck when the actuators are activated. This must be
done externally.
12. The manufacturer is not responsible for the loss of a life or materials caused by re, smoke, wind, rain, … even when
the rain- and wind detector is connected. Make sure no damage (wind, rain, …) can be caused during uncontrolled open-
ing of the system.
13. The SHE-control and accessories must not be used as connector box for cables ! Use an external connector box.
14. The wiring for the accessories (re push buttons, detectors, prior key contact, ...) must be at least 1 m off other current
wires (not in the same wire drain) to prevent from interference.
15. We reserve the right to modify this manual or the products without prior notice. You can always check the newest ver-
sion on www.agplastics.com.
16. The responsible person must keep this manual, if possible near the control unit.
17. In particular cases due to fall-through safety, it’s forbidden to open the smoke hatches more than 30 cm for ventilation.

The Skycom CE controls are intended for opening of skylights, smoke hatches, ... for Smoke and Heat Extraction (SHE)
and comfort ventilation of 1 re zone.
The Skycom Skymax CE control is typically used to command 1 Skymax smoke hatch in a staircase.
The Skycom Skymax control has the following operation possibilities (upon accessories):
Operation for Smoke and Heat Extraction (control in Alarm-status):
1. Automatically activated: by smoke or heat detectors. Each control has also an internal T-sensor which generates
alarm at 75°C.
2. Activated by passer-by: on ‘break-glass’ re-switches
3. Operation by remen: possibility for priority open and close on the priority switch for remen
Operation for comfort ventilation:
Activated by opening-closing switches (push buttons) or by weekly timer, room thermostat,
outdoor weather sensor.
The operation status (OK / alarm / fault / smoke hatch open) is indicated by Led’s and is also available on outputs for con-
nection with other systems (AFA-systems, Air-gates, buzzer, ...) in the building.
We advise to consult your re department to choose the best installation place fort all SHE accessories. You’ll nd an
example on page 7. Generally, install the control panel for the remen (prior switch) at a visible place and easy to be
reached, on the access road of the remen with the bottom at 1,35 - 1,45 m above the oor in the entrance hall of the
(main) building.
The Skycom Skymax CE Slave control must be installed as close as possible (max. 5 m) to the opening system, i.e. at
the ceiling of the building or against the roof opening.
The control unit weights 7,5 kg and must be installed on a stable underground. The mounting holes for wall mounting
are placed on the metal plate underneath the plastic lid.
Foresee (at least) a separate 230V power circuit with its own automatic circuit breaker for each re zone. Don’t connect
other devices to this circuit!
It is sometimes required to supply the control unit with a 230V circuit with separate earth leakage circuit breaker and that
a circuit breaker is installed on the actuator line.

Connection, operation and settings
Motor (actuator)
The actuators must be connected to output terminals 2-3. The max. load is 5A.
It is possible to disable the line monitoring on the motor output. The cables can be connected in series or parallel or a
combination of these (see drawings motor and electrical schemes).
It is important to keep the right polarity. The motors of most systems must be connected via a limit switch - see electrical
scheme of the specic opening system.
See table at the end for cable sections and max. motor cable length.
Cable monitoring (line monitoring) on the motor output
The control is equipped with 3 possible settings for cable monitoring (line monitoring), which can be congured by
means of jumper J2.
a. Jumper J2 mounted in pos. “Motor line” (Setting for Skylux®160° CE, Skymax®CE old and new and Cintramax®CE)
Known motor: line monitoring (2-3) with double wired motor connexion.
Jumper J3 (actuator output) is set according to the number of termination resistors (27KΩ) to be detected – 1 to max. 4
lines can be detected by moving jumper J3 – this means that the cable installation between the control unit and the motors
can be established in series connection (cable connection from smoke hatch 1, further to smoke hatch 2, etc.), or parallel
connection (cable connection from each smoke hatch to the control), or a combination of these. However, as mentioned
max. 4 different lines can be detected, each of them connected to the end resistor of 27KΩ.
Jumper description
J3 Number of connected 27Kohm terminal
resistors for actuator output
J2 Chooses line monitoring through motor
terminals 2-3 (Mot Mon) or separate

b. Jumper J2 in pos. “Ext 3 wire” (Setting for Skymax®standard / Cintramax®CE (old) / Skyvent®CE)
Unknown motor: line monitoring (1-3) with 3 wired motor connexion.
With jumper J3 (actuator output): you choose how many lines (number of 27KΩ)
you wish to detect - the same way as the motor line.
This setting demands 3 wire cable from motor output to motor.
c. Jumper J2/J3 is not mounted - No line monitoring for actuator output
Electronic current limiter, type LIP function and setting (Skylux 160°CE, Cintramax CE, Skymax CE)
The current limiter type LIP (mounted on the opening system) is used as current limiter for the actuator. On the LIP5, and
younger version max. 3 times overload cut outs in the same direction is allowed. After which it will not be possible to run
in this direction again, before the motor has run in the opposite direction. Please note that when opening, the red LED in
the LIP must light. This indicates that polarity of the actuator is correct.
Table of LIP settings
* SA Power LM Large - parallel operation: Jumper OPT mounted - both motors stop at the same time if one stops
because of overload.
** When DIP4 is OFF = Tandem Mode - both motors stop at the same time if no current ows in one (1,5 sec. reaction
time).
*** Required: an actuator with “read” sensor (3-wire sensor black cable included).

Fire switches
The re switch will contain the following:
• Breakable glass window and red control button, activated by pressure - this puts
the control unit in ALARM status, by which the motor output is activated (for
normal service and testing the lid can be opened with a key).
• RESET button which brings the control unit out of the alarm status and starts
the closing sequence for about 180 seconds. Please note that RESET does
not cancel errors in the system, e.g. line errors etc. These must be found and
corrected. When a detector is still alive after reset, the control will go immediately
in alarm status again.
• RED LED indicates that the control unit is in ALARM status and that the motor
output either is or has been activated.
• YELLOW LED indicates faults on the system - please call for a service
technician.
• GREEN LED indicates that the system is in normal operation status without
errors.
The master control has an integrated priority re switch.
Additional connection of the external re switches are made as shown on the
drawing.
When the control is fully loaded, max. 8 external re switches can be connected.
When there is no load (Master), max. 10 re switches can be connected.
The installation with re switches must be terminated with a resistor (10kΩ -
27kΩ) in the last switch in order to establish the line monitoring correctly – this
can either be done by moving the factory mounted resistor from the terminal
strip to the last re switch or connect jumper J1 in the re switch (by this a
10KΩ resistor is also connected).
By means of DIP switches the control unit has different possibilities of settings
for the input to the re switch:
DIP 1 (Con.Fire.Sw):
On = ALARM status from 500-3KΩ, (indication of line error by direct short circuit
or open circuit).
Off = ALARM status from 0-3KΩ (indication of line error by open circuit).
DIP 2 (Fail Safe):
On = Any line error on re switch or smoke detector puts the control unit in
ALARM status. This function can be used if cables to re switches and smoke
detectors are not reproof.
Off = An error status does not report ALARM status.

The master control has already integrated comfort open/close buttons.
Additionally external comfort switches can be connected as shown on the scheme.
It’s possible that due to fall-through safety, it’s forbidden to open the smoke hatches more than
30 cm for ventilation.
For comfort ventilation there are the following possibilities:
Potentiometer in Puls position:
It is possible to press the »up« button 3 times, which each gives 10 seconds of opening time -
after that nothing happens – Continuous »up« signal gives 3x10 sec.= 30 sec. - One press on
»down« closes the actuator completely; it takes 18s longer compared to fully closing time - In
order to avoid »actuator pumping« max. 3 successive closing attempts will be allowed.
Potentiometer in Constant position:
As long as »up« signal or »down« signal are given, the actuators are running. This is the
recommended position in case of e.g. roof access
Potentiometer in Puls variable position:
The time on the above mentioned pulse opening can be adjusted from 1-60 sec. on the
potentiometer.
When moving the potentiometer into the different positions the LED batt low will ash for about
4 sec. to indicate when in puls mode. LED line fail ashes 4 sec. when in Constant and AC fail
ashes when in puls Variable.
Put the potentiometer of all connected detection units (also Master) in the same position.

External signal output, Fire Alarm Panel and other control systems
The control panel can forward alarm situation to external connected systems by
means of potential free contacts on the terminals 4 (com), 5 (NC) and 6(NO).
The control panel can forward failure condition to external connected systems by
means of potential free contacts on the terminal 7 (com), 8(NO) and 9(NC).
Alarm and error contacts work parallel on all controls connected with bus connec-
tion.
DIP6 (fail relay):
On = Fail relay changes function to indicate open/closed smoke hatches.
How to make a connection from a Fire Alarm Panel
The control panel can receive potential free alarm signals from e.g.
AFA systems on the input to re switch or smoke-/heat detector.
Terminal 16 and 17.
Line monitoring resistor must be tted over the contact of the AFA system.

Weather sensor / Close all function
Install the rain- and wind detection as close as possible to the smoke hatch, at a place, where
the wind speed is equal to the wind speed of the smoke hatch (do not install the detector at eg
the outside of the roof edge trim).
The smoke hatches should be closed when the wind is above 6 m/s.
LED LD3 on the main board indicates active weather sensor - lights as long as input is active.
As long as the weather sensor is active, the smoke hatches cannot be opened with comfort
switches.
The weather sensor closes on all controls which are connected through bus connection.
On the input to weather station a weekly timer can be connected which makes sure that
everything is closed, e.g. by end of a working day.
The 24V power supply (terminal 22 & 23) for the weather sensor is standard set this
way (J11) that it does not function on batteries.
If battery functioning is needed, then mount J11.
This is possible at PCB V5 and the following versions (as from March 2015).
Be aware of the reduced standby time due to current consumptions.
Factory setting weather sensor = test = Pos 0 = delay 10s + highest sensibility.
Recommended settings weather sensor: Pos 4 = 4m/s (delay = 10 min)
For more details, consult the installation instructions of the wind-and
rain detector AWR-24/250.

More controls connected in one re group (bus connection)
When there is only 1 control unit in the re group, terminals
A 1 2 3 and B 1 2 3 are not used. The communication is
interrupted by removing all the jumpers.
By means of a bus communication it is possible to make 2 – 35 control units to work as a complete system. The control
units communicate with each other via a 3 wire bus connection.
Terminal no. A1, A2, A3 are for the incoming connection and B1, B2, B3 for the outgoing connection.
In the rst control unit start Bus J4 has to be on. This control is Master and J5 must therefore also be on. Following con-
trol unit is a slave and therefore J6 must be connected. In the last slave unit, J7 and J6 must be connected to terminate
the bus cable.
ALARM: Alarms from Manuel Control Point smoke-/heat detectors are controlled locally. When DIP11 is set, the control
will go into alarm state if another control connected on the BUS enters alarm state.
RESET: If the reset button on one control or in one re switch is activated, the reset function on all connected controls is
activated and starts the closing function on all motor output for approx. 180 sec.
COMFORT: The comfort operation can work locally on each control. When DIP10 is set the control will react on any
comfort signal send on the bus from another control.
If a wind- and rain sensor is connected, it will work on all control on the bus matter dip settings.
Function description for control units connected with bus connection
If more control units are connected by means of a bus connection, the following are monitored/communicated between
the control units:
- A detected bus error makes the LED LD7 on the main board light/ash.
- A detected bus error brings all controls on the bus connection in error condition (line error).
- If one of the control units in the network goes into alarm status, all go into alarm status.
- If one of the control units goes into a certain error status (line error, AC error, battery error or bus error), the
other control units also go into error status – the type of the error is indicated on the board of the front plate of
all control units – on the control unit(s) which have not caused the error, the ok LED on the board of the front plate
ashes at the same time as the error. On the control unit(s) which have caused the error, the OK LED is switched
off.

Special functions
Sprinkler function:
DIP 9 On - a special function comes in use where sprinkler systems are installed. With this function activated, the actuator
output closes, if smoke-/heat detector input is activated.
If the re switch is activated, the actuator output opens.
Weekly open/close:
DIP 7 On - the motor output opens shortly (3 seconds) once a week and closes immediately after -
This function is used to give the right tension on the smoke vents to keep them airtight.
Function of heat detector in LIP:
DIP 3 On - a heat detector 70-100° can be mounted in each LIP. If the temperature is exceeded, the control unit goes into
alarm status and the opening system opens.
Special mode:
DIP 12 On - possible to use comfort switch also during line fault, low batt., no AC, Alarm only as long as re input is active
or detector is activated.
