• Actionair ThermShield FD
• Actionair Thermshield FD-C
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
• Standard site PPE should be used (minimum steel
toe cap boots, hard hat); together with any pro-
tective eyewear, gloves and masks, when drilling or
cutting is being undertaken. The latter should also
be used when handing the wall construction mate-
equipment is being used, hearing protection should
be used.
• All waste materials should be collected and disposed
• Actuators: All wiring should be carried out in accor-
and BS regulations and by a competent person.
Care must be taken when installing and inspecting
dampers, as they are likely to close without war-
ning due to loss of electrical power or a temperature
rise in the ductwork. This is their prime function. Do
blades. Larger dampers must be handled in accor-
dance with current regulations and good practice
due to weight.

• For full classications please refer to our Declaration
of Performance (DoP), which can be found on our
website.
• The methods in this manual should be followed to
ensure a CE-marked installation.
• The instructions are based on the tested method using
Actionair ThermShield re/smoke dampers.
• Our ThermShield dampers are designed to be used with
re separating elements to maintain re compartments.
The ThermShield is an actuated failsafe close damper
with low smoke leakage.
• Under the Fire Damper Product standard BS EN 15650
our Fire Damper products are tested to BS EN 1366-2 and
classied under BS EN 13501-3.

Actuators
Manual Actuators R, R-S
Manual operating mechanism, optionally with end swit-
ches (R-S). In case of re, the re damper closes automa-
tically. Damper closing can be initiated either by thermal
fuse melting, or by manual activation on the operating
mechanism. Upon closure, damper blade is locked in
closed position and can only be opened manually. Ther-
mal fuse melting point is 72 °C.
R25
R25 (left) manual actuator is installed on FD25 re dam-
pers range from 100x200 to 800x600. It is available in
version with (R-S) and without (R) end switches. End swit-
ches and thermal fuse are easily replaceable and available
as service parts.
R40
R40 (right) manual actuator is installed on FD40 re dam-
pers from 800x600 to 1500x800. It is available in version
with (R-S) and without (R) end switches. End switches and
thermal fuse are easily replaceable and available as service
parts.

Electric Actuators M24-S & M230-S
Damper is delivered in closed position. When electric
actuator is connected to the power supply damper
will open. When the damper reaches the end position
(damper open), the electro motor will stop. Closing re
damper takes place automatically when a power failure
occurs. Thermal tripping device that comes with re
damper causes power circuit break at a temperature of 72
°C, optional 95 °C (inside or outside duct). If checking is
needed for proper functioning of re damper, pushing the
switch on the thermal tripping device will close damper.
When switch on tripping device is released, the damper
will open. Damper can be opened without connecting to
a voltage with enclosed handle turning in the direction of
the arrow on electric actuator (clockwise). Damper can be
locked in the desired position by fast turning back handle
a quarter of a turn (counter clockwise) for Belimo BF, and
by puling brake on Belimo BFL and BFN.
To unlock the electro motor, turn handle clockwise for
a quarter of a turn for Belimo BF, or release brake for
Belimo BFL and BFN. After release, damper will be closed
by return spring. When damper is opened manually, elec-
tric actuator will not move the damper into closed posi-
tion in case of power failure.

Damper is delivered in closed position. When electric
actuator is connected to the power supply damper will
open. When the damper reaches the end position(damper
open), in which is it blocked, the electric actuator will
stop. Closing re damper takes place automatically when
a power failure occurs. Thermal tripping device that
comes with re damper causes power circuit break at a
temperature of 72 °C (inside or outside duct).
If checking is needed for proper functioning of re
damper, pushing the switch on the thermal tripping
device will close damper. When switch on tripping device
is released, the damper will open.
Damper can be opened without connecting to a voltage
with enclosed Allen key, by turning in the direction of the
arrow on electric actuator (clockwise). After release of
Allen key, damper will go to closed position.
