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
The fire damper is used as an automatic shut-off
device to prevent fire and smoke from spreading
through ducting.
The fire damper is suitable for supply and extract air
in HVAC systems.
The fire damper may be used in potentially explo-
sive atmospheres if appropriate special accessories
are used with it and if the product bears the CE con-
formity marking according to Directive 94/9/EC. Fire
dampers for use in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres are marked for the zones for which they
have been approved.
Operation of the fire dampers is allowed only in
compliance with installation regulations and the
technical data in this installation and operating
manual.
Modifying the fire damper or using replacement
parts that have not been approved by TROX is not
permitted.
If this fire damper is used in Germany:
Do not use it in extract air systems in commercial
kitchens.
Not to be used as an air transfer damper.
Do not use in combined penetration seal.
Do not use in fire protection block bulkhead.
Approvals under building regulations may be
required for the use of upstream shutters for air
transfer units. This must be checked and applied for
by others.
Flame-resistant, non-dripping building materials
(elastomeric foams) must at least correspond to fire
rating class C - s2, d0 according to the specifica-
tions of MVV TB (since 2019/1). The applicable local
building regulations must be observed.
Incorrect use
WARNING!
Danger due to incorrect use!
Incorrect use of the fire damper can lead to dan-
gerous situations.
Never use the fire damper
– without specially approved attachments in areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres
–as a smoke control damper
– outdoors without sufficient protection against the
effects of weather
– in atmospheres where chemical reactions,
whether planned or unplanned, may cause
damage to the fire damper or lead to corrosion
