IntroductionGilberts <strong><strong>Smoke</strong>gard</strong> <strong>Damper</strong>s provide a revolutionary “Engineered’ answer to the problem of smokeand fire protection in fire doors, walls and partitions. A unique patented blade linkage mechanism hasproduced a <strong>Damper</strong> narrow enough to fit within the confines of a 1/2 hour (44mm) door, 1 hour(54mm) door or any wall/partition and allow the passage of ventilation air in normal conditions butprevent the spread of smoke and flames in fire conditions.Five modes of operation are available (3x failsafe closed and 2x failsafe open) ranging from basicMode A, which is <strong>Fire</strong> only operated, to the Mode C which is <strong>Fire</strong> and <strong>Smoke</strong> operated and completewith in built status indicators. All units comprise of a Galvanised Steel Frame with Stainless Steel Inter-Locking Blades and Side Seals, combining rugged construction with maximum <strong>Fire</strong> and <strong>Smoke</strong>retardation capabilities whilst the inter-connecting Rack Blade operation feature is incorporated toensure faultless precision <strong>Damper</strong> Operation.<strong>Fire</strong> tested to BRITISH STANDARD 476 PART 20 1987 the units are 2 hour rated, having been testedfor 4 hours in a wall and 1 hour in a door.●●●●Five control modes availableAvailable in <strong>Fire</strong> or <strong>Smoke</strong> & <strong>Fire</strong> modesInterlocking Stainless Steel blades and frameside seals provide a tight seal against smokeand flamesFusible link elements close the <strong>Damper</strong>instantly at between 70/80°C●●●●Galvanised Steel frame construction to resistcorrosionSimple key reset mechanism in the event ofactivationIndication lights available to provide a visualdisplay of <strong>Damper</strong> statusIntegral test facility provided on Mode C2

It is available in awide range of sizes to cater for most air flow requirements and is supplied with a doorsleeve suitable for a 45mm or 54mm door or a wall sleeve suitable for a wall or partitionof specified thickness. The damper can be suitably masked on both sides either withsteel type A grilles or aluminium non-vision type B grilles.OPERATION: The unit is activated by an integral fusible link assembly. This assembly isunder constant spring tension to close the interlocking blades and is only released,under fire conditions, by the melting of the holding solder at 72°C which allows theblades to close INSTANTLY.RESET PROCEDURE: Reset or initial setting is accomplished by the insertion of a specialkey through a hole in the inside frame (removal of fascia grille is required for access).The key is turned in a clockwise direction until the blades are fully open and then, whilstholding the blades open with the key, the fusible link is fitted over its locating pins on thetop pair of blades.3

Please referto wiring diagram for details.Mode B & CGilberts <strong><strong>Smoke</strong>gard</strong> Modes B & C have been designed to allow the passage of ventilation air innormal conditions and prevent the spread of SMOKE AND FLAMES in fire conditions. They areavailable in a wide range of sizes to cater for most air flow requirements and are suppliedcomplete with a door sleeve and electrical door wiring loop for a 45mm or 54mm door or a wallsleeve only, for a wall/partition. The damper can be suitably masked on both sides either withsteel type A grilles or aluminium non-vision type B grilles.OPERATION: The units are operated by a 24V DC electrical supply. This 24V DC supply providespower for the damper’s integral electro magnet which in normal conditions hold the damperblades open. In fire conditions, however, when the fire protection system detects the presence offire or smoke, it will interrupt the power supply to the damper causing the electro magnet torelease the blades. The damper will then close INSTANTLY under spring tension.If fire were to reach the damper without such detection, the unit would close regardless of externalsources at 72°C by the action of its integral Electro thermal fuse.RESET PROCEDURE: Reset or initial setting, which can be accomplished with the fascia grilles inplace, is achieved by the insertion of a special key through a hole in the grille and damper frame.With the main 24V DC supply live the key is turned in a clockwise direction until the blades arefully open. The electro magnet will then lock and hold the blades and the key can be removed.5

Test Data<strong>Fire</strong> TestsIntroductionAll fire tests where conducted by the WARRINGTON RESEARCH CENTREto BRITISH STANDARD 476 PART 20 1987.This test describes the performance of structural elements under fire conditions,and considering there is no standard test for this type of fire damper it wasdecided to mount both a fusible link operated, and also an electro-magnetoperated fire damper in a standard 1 hour timber fire door.STANDARD TIME-TEMPERATURECURVE OF BS476 PART 20 1987120011001000Test DescriptionTests were conducted in order to test both the stability and integrity of the units,and it was felt that mounting them in a fire door would demonstrate the mostsevere combined situation for which the units would likely be installed. Not onlywere the fire dampers scrutinised during the test, but also the combinedsituation thus demonstrating the total integrity of the installation.Units tested were of a size 400 Wide x 400mm High which is the largestmanufactured size for this type of unit. They were installed within 54mm thickfire doors with a suitable backing flange, and secured with mild steel bolts fromone face flange to the other through the door itself. The combined assembly wasplaced vertically against one open side of a 1m 3 furnace and then securelybolted to maintain an air seal between.Test ResultsThe duration of the test was 1 hour, and only slight charring of the timber aroundthe damper frame was apparent after this time. At the end of the test the integrityand stability of both the damper and door had been maintained.TEMPERATURE - DEGREES C900800700600500400300200100TEST DURATION0Air Flow TestDataIntroductionThe air flow test was conducted by the Building Research and Information Association.AIR FLOW LEAKAGE CHARACTERISTIC OF A 300X200MMSMOKEGARD FIRE DAMPER IN THE CLOSED POSITION3FLOW RATE - PRESSURE DROP CHARACTERISTIC FORBLADE FIRE DAMPER IN OPEN POSITIONMULTI-2100987654Pressure drop across unit Pa1009876543210987654Pressure drop across unit Pa21098765432332200x100300x100200x200400x100300x200200x300400x200300x300200x400400x300300x400400x4001.00.0001 0.001 0.01VOLUME M 3 /s0.01 0.05 0.1 0.5 1.0VOLUME M 3 /s11

All units provided with 1.6mm mildsteel galvanised sleeve to suitwall/door thickness.FINISH:Standard Finish is a PPC satin silver.Special Finishes are PPC to any stockBS/RAL colour.EngineeringSpecificationInner frame manufactured from 1.0mm galvanised mild steel to BS 1449 Part 1, CR4 Grade ZZ. Formed to channel shapewith end flanges. The four parts of the inner frame are rivetted together with two stainless steel rivets 3mm diameter x 6mmlong at each of the four corners. The outer frame is manufactured from 1.6mm galvanised mild steel formed into 4 sectionsand welded to form a rigid frame. The inner frame is secured through the flange onto the outer frame using No6 screws.Blades of 0.457mm stainless steel to BS 1449 Part 2, 1975 302 S16, are formed into hollow section with a radiused leadingedge and vee shaped trailing edge. The section is spot welded together after forming at the point of the vee, spotwelds ata pitch of 33mm. The blade ends are closed off by stainless steel end caps, material specification as per the blade and havestainless steel pivot pins rivetted to them, the pivot pins have suitable flats to engage the blade drive pinions. The end capsare secured to the blade by three 2.8mm diameter stainless steel rivets 6mm long at each end.Holes in the inner side frame to accept the blade pivot pins are set at suitable spacings to allow blade leading edges tointerlock in the vee of the next blade. Side seals of 0.152mm stainless steel as per blade specification, are formed andpierced to accept blade pivot pins, and are assembled between frame sides and blade ends. Top and bottom seals aremanufactured in material as for side seals but are retained on top and bottom inner frames by nibs formed in frame innersurfaces.The blades are actuated by a 3mm thick x 40mm steel rack located in the side frame, and acting on steel pinions attachedto blade pivot pins. The rack and pinions are zinc plated and passivated, and are contained in the side frame by a coverplate for Modes B and C, the blades are held in the open position via the rack, which in turn is held by a conical endedstainless steel pin engaging in a female keyhole aperture in the rack. The action of the rack through the spring action is todisengage the pin, but this is prevented by an electro-magnet. When the electro-magnet is deenergised it allows thestainless steel pin to move forward, thus disengaging the rack which moves immediately to the closed position shutting theblade pack.For Mode A units a 72°C Fusible link is mounted on pivot brackets on the two opposed action blades. On failure of said fuselink blades are allowed to move in opposed directions, synchronised and driven by the spring loaded rack and pinionarrangement.ContactGILBERTSHead Office and WorksGILBERTS (BLACKPOOL) LTDGilair Works, Clifton Road,Blackpool.Lancashire FY4 4QT.Telephone: (01253) 766911Fax: (01253) 767941e-mail: sales@gilbertsblackpool.comWeb: www.gilbertsblackpool.comGilberts (Blackpool) Ltd reserve the right to alter the specification without notice.
