1 Safety
1.1 General safety notes
Sharp edges, sharp corners and thin sheet metal
parts
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from sharp edges, sharp cor-
ners and thin sheet metal parts!
Sharp edges, sharp corners and thin sheet metal
parts may cause cuts or grazes.
– Be careful when carrying out any work.
–Wear protective gloves, safety shoes and a hard
hat.
Electrical voltage
DANGER!
Danger of electric shock! Do not touch any live com-
ponents! Electrical equipment carries a dangerous
electrical voltage.
– Only skilled qualified electricians are allowed to
work on the electrical system.
–Switch off the power supply before working on
any electrical equipment.
1.2 Correct use

smoke and heat exhaust systems to remove smoke
and heat. EK-JZ smoke control dampers may be
used with the following systems:
– in pressure differential systems
– mechanical (i.e. powered) smoke exhaust sys-
tems
– natural smoke and heat exhaust systems
– heat exhaust systems
For use in single sections for increased operating
temperatures up to 600 °C.
Permitted for automatic release.
Suitable for use in combined systems (combination
damper) for ventilation.
Suitable for restricting extract air flow rates.
Operation of the smoke control dampers is only per-
mitted in compliance with the Declaration of Per-
formance (DoP) and these installation and operating
instructions.
Modifying the smoke control damper or using
replacement parts that have not been approved by
TROX is not permitted.
Incorrect use
WARNING!
Danger due to incorrect use!
Incorrect use of the smoke control damper can lead
to dangerous situations.
Never use the smoke control damper:
–in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
– outdoors without sufficient protection against the
effects of weather and outside of temperature
limits
– in atmospheres where chemical reactions,
whether planned or unplanned, may cause
damage to the smoke control damper or lead to
corrosion

4.2 Functional description
Smoke control dampers of the EK-JS series are used in
smoke control systems and serve, on the one hand, to
remove smoke gases and thermal energy and, on the
other hand, to allow fresh air to flow into the area to be
kept smoke-free.
The EK-JS is used in pressurised ventilation systems to
keep smoke out of
safety stairwells and their vestibules
Fire brigade lift shafts
Escape tunnels
The EK-JS is intended for use in single sections.
It is allowed to be used in combined ventilation/smoke
extract systems as a combination damper for smoke
extraction as well as for restricting extract air flow rates.
Regular maintenance of the smoke control damper is
required to ensure its functional reliability

nance’ on page 50 .

⑧EK-JS, EK-JZ or EK2-EU as additional supply air

⑨Cover grilles
Smoke control dampers are completely closed during
normal operation. In smoke extraction mode, the smoke
control dampers in the affected fire compartment are
opened to extract smoke from it. All other smoke control
dampers remain closed.
In the event of a fire, smoke control dampers that are
used as additional supply air inlets in the affected fire
compartment also open so that smoke can be extracted.
To ensure the creation of a layer that is nearly free from
smoke, smoke control dampers used as additional
supply air inlets should be installed near the ground.
The control input signal for the actuator may come from
a duct smoke detector or from the central fire alarm
system. Using cables with specific circuit integrity for the
supply voltage ensures that the actuator is supplied with
voltage even in the event of a fire and hence that its
function and the communication are maintained.

Functional description
Smoke control damper EK-JS14

Supply air and smoke extraction in ventilation sys-
tems
When authorised by building authorities or authorised
bodies, smoke extract and supply air applications as
well as ventilation can be enabled in combined systems
with smoke control dampers. Depending on the system
layout, the damper blade can be fully opened, fully
closed or in the intermediate position. Depending on
where the dampers are installed, country-specific regu-
lations may apply to ventilation applications.

5 Installation
5.1 Installation situations
The table lists the various installation types of EK-JZ smoke control dampers; for details on the performance level
see the declaration of performance.
Installation locations described here may be combined with other installation location characteristics. For example, a
smoke control damper may be installed on a vertical smoke extract duct where a horizontal smoke extract duct
branches off.

5.2 Safety notes regarding installation
Sharp edges, sharp corners and thin sheet metal
parts
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from sharp edges, sharp cor-
ners and thin sheet metal parts!
Sharp edges, sharp corners and thin sheet metal
parts may cause cuts or grazes.
– Be careful when carrying out any work.
– Wear protective gloves, safety shoes and a hard
hat.
5.3 General installation information
NOTICE!
Be careful to not damage the smoke control
damper
– Protect the smoke control damper from contami-
nation and damage.
– Cover the flange openings and the actuator (e.g.
with plastic) to protect them from mortar and
dripping water.
Please note:
Install the smoke control damper without torsion
(horizontal/vertical).
Make sure that no loads are imposed on the casing
as this may impair the function of the smoke control
damper.
Smoke control damper and electric actuator must
remain accessible for maintenance.
