Health and Safety
This process must be undertaken by competent
persons. More than one person may be required to
ensure the safe handling of large dampers and other
materials. Use must be made of access equipment
to ensure unsafe practices are not used to approach
walls or dicult access areas.
Standard site PPE should be used (minimum steel
toe cap boots, hard hat); together with any protective
eyewear, gloves and masks, when drilling or cutting
is being undertaken. The latter should also be used
when handing the wall construction materials, as
dened by the material suppliers. If loud equipment
is being used, hearing protection should be used.
All waste materials should be collected and
disposed of as dened by the relevant supplier.
Vertical in Block Work/Masonry Wall -
HEVAC/HVCA Installation Frame (IF)
Damper installation method
1. Measure the positions of the building ties on
the HEVAC frame
2. Mark up the lintel at the top of the hole in the wall
to give positions that match to the building ties. Drill
into the lintel and t stud anchors (not supplied) or
similar steel xings e.g. Loden anchors - loop head
min Ø6.5mm x 63mm.
3. Turn out the building ties on the damper and place
damper into position, supporting from underneath
with a block of wood or board, which will need to
be removed when the mortar is in position.
4. If 4 hour Integrity is required pockets in the wall
will be required and wall ties turned out into them.
5. Using a Ø1.5mm steel wire (not supplied) wrap this
round the building ties and the stud anchors in the
lintel at the top to hold the damper in position. (Note:
This will also maintain the quality of the link between
the damper, inll mortar and the wall if a re occurs)
6. Add mortar from both sides of the damper and inll
to the HEVAC frame. Take care not to inll past the
line on the interface shroud.
SmokeShield PTC & FireShield Dampers
HEVAC Frame (I/F) Installation Method
SmokeShield PTC - ES Rated Fire Damper (Fire & Smoke Barrier)
FireShield - E Rated Fire Damper (Fire Barrier)

Horizontal in Floor Slab -
HEVAC / HVCA Installation frame (IF)
Damper installation method
1. Measure the positions of the building ties on the
HEVAC frame.
2. Mark up the inside edges of the hole in the slab to
give positions that match to the building ties. Drill into
the oor slab and t stud anchors (or similar) - leaving
them protruding into the opening.
3. Turn out the building ties on the damper and
oer the damper into position.
4. Using steel wire (min Ø1.5mm not supplied) wrap
Horizontal on Floor Slab HEVAC/HVCA
Installation Frame (IF)
Damper installation method
1. Connect duct work to damper spigot, using
suitable breakaway joints or aluminium rivets.
2. Turn out the building ties on the damper.
3. Position the damper on the oor slab, centrally
into the aperture.
this round the building ties and the stud anchors
to hold the damper in position (Note: This will also
maintain the quality of the link between the damper,
inll mortar and the oor slab should a re occur).
5. Shutter beneath the damper (if required) add
mortar from the top of the slab inll to the HEVAC
frame. Do not to inll past the line on the interface
shroud if the motor is to be tted above the slab.
6. When the mortar is rm remove the shuttering (if
applied) and inll with more mortar to the HEVAC
frame from below the slab. Take care not to inll
past the line on the interface shroud if the motor is
to be tted below the slab.
4. Shutter out as required prior to casting the
concrete plinth, making suitable precautions to
protect the damper.
5. It is important to ensure when constructing the
concrete plinth that the concrete is of a trowelling
consistency, so it does not run into the installation
frame gaps and the damper itself, rendering the
damper inoperable.

Inspection and handover check sheet Damper Installation Certicate
This certicate applies only to Actionair products. The installer
must complete this installation certicate when installing re and smoke dampers.
A separate certicate must be completed for each individual re and smoke damper.
No. Question Action Tick
1 Are the dampers the correct type? Conrm damper is correct type i.e. SmokeShield ¨
2 Are the dampers located correctly? The damper location is to be checked against the
installation drawings/details ¨
3 Are the dampers correctly identied? Unique system ID to be clearly indicated on the damper
or other agreed location. ¨
4 Have supports for both the damper and the adjacent ductwork
been installed in accordance with the approved manner? ¨
5Are the dampers tted in the correct orientation? Conrm the damper is installed the correct way up and
relative to airow and/or access. ¨
6Is access through the ductwork, to the damper unobstructed? Unobstructed space should be provided for safe access
to the damper. This must include access through ceiling
voids and adjacent services. Damper installer to advise
the system designer if problems are foreseen.
¨
7 Has the space around the damper and within the opening been
left clear and not been used for other services?
Other services within the installation opening will
invalidate the installation method. Damper installer to
advise the lead contractor if problems are foreseen.
¨
8 Using the access opening provided, are the damper blades in
the open position?
Check position of damper blades. ¨
9 Has the damper been checked for internal cleanliness, free
from damage and that vertical casings in particular are free
from debris?
With the damper in the closed position, inspect for
damage. ¨
10 Has the damper been released to simulate operation of the
thermal release? (Damper drop test)
Ensure damper operation is free from interference. ¨
11 Have the damper blades been re-set following drop test and
the access panel replaced?
After re-setting the damper, check the position shown
on the blade position indicator is correct. ¨
12 At the time of damper handover, is the re barrier and
penetration seal complete?
Damper installer to record on the handover register if
any following trades are still to complete their activities. ¨
13 Is the damper installation complete and available for handover
prior to system commissioning?
Obtain the relevant acceptance of the damper installation
from the CDM coordinator. ¨
14 Is the completed handover register cross-referenced back to
the identication codes listed in the system designers damper
schedule?

Commissioning
The procedure detailed under periodic maintenance
should be followed
Periodic maintenance
As detailed in BS 9999:2008
1. For dampers this is at least once per year for units
with spring operation.
2. Units operating in dust laden atmospheres, should
be checked more often to suit the severity of the
conditions
3. Units associated with systems may be required to
be checked, as part of the system, as often as once
per week or month to ensure ongoing condence
in the life safety system. This may be seen as
analogous to re alarm systems.
Procedure
1. The units should be carefully inspected and
cleaned of dust and debris
2. The units should then be lubricated with a light oil,
by wiping this over all the surfaces
3. The mode should be operated to ensure that it
is moving the blades from open to closed and the
reverse.
4. If the end switches (in the mode) are being used,
it should be checked that they are actually indicating
that the blades are open or closed. This is done
by running a cycle and checking both the blades
(open and closed) and the indication that the micro
switches are feeding back to.
