PRODUCT PRESENTATION

Circular fire damper cartridges SC(V) are installed in circular ventilation ducts passing through a construction element in
order to stop the propagation of fire. The circular fire damper cartridge SC(V) has a fire resistance up to 120'. The circular
fire damper cartridges are equipped with a common fusible link mechanism.

There are two types of circular fire damper cartridges:

• SC : especially used to close ventilation ducts passing through a construction element.
• SCV : is equipped with a finishing ventilation valve and is especially used for installation at the end of ventilation ducts
passing through a construction element.

• Tested according to the European standard EN 1366-2 at a constant pressure of 300 Pa

• Minimal pressure drop
• Suitable for mounting in rigid wall, floor and flexible wall
• Easy to install
• Maintenance free
• For interior applications 4

form the basis for the approvals of our dampers.

Europa : Classification according to EN 15650:2010 (certificate BC1-606-0464-15650.08-2517)

Seco : All our dampers are periodically audited by an external 'Third Party' according to the European
FPC regulations (Factory Production Control)

OPTIONS

End of range switch FCU:

An end of range switch can be mounted on the metal body. The purpose is to determine the position of the circular fire
damper cartridge from a distance.

STORING AND HANDLING

As the circular fire damper cartridge is a safety element it needs to be stored and handled with caution.

Attention:
• Avoid any kind of damage
• Avoid contact with water
• Avoid deformation of the casing during the installation and sealing

It is recommended:
• to unload in a dry area
• to avoid heavy shocks

INSTALLATION

• The damper can be mounted with the axis vertically or horizontally

• The damper has to be installed in conformity with the test report
• Air movement may be from either direction
• The SC must be accessible for inspection and maintenance
Position axis
The circular fire damper cartridge SC(V) is always tested in standardized supporting constructions (rigid wall, floor as well
as flexible wall) according to NBN EN 1366-2: 1999 table 3/4/5 'standarized supporting constructions'. The achieved results
are valid for similar supporting constructions with a fire resistance and/or thickness and/or density equal to or bigger than
the supporting construction used during the test.

Installation in flexible wall- Metal Stud Gypsum Plasterboard wall

The fire damper cartridge was tested in a metal stud plasterboard gypsum wall (fire resistance 60' and 120') with a minimal
thickness of 100mm. The fire resistance of the wall has to be equal to or bigger than the fire resistance of the damper cartridge.

Metal Stud gypsum plasterboard wall consists of:

• A metal framework made out of horizontal and vertical metal studs (min. width 50mm)
• Stonewool with a thickness of 40mm and a density of 40 kg/m³ between the boards

OPERATION SC

The fire damper cartridge is kept in the open position by a fusible link. When the temperature in the duct rises above 72°C,
the fusible link melts and releases the two semi circular blades. The damper is now closed. The two blocking hooks keep
these blades in their safety position which prevents any smoke or flames from passing through.

1. Press the two blocking 2. Manually move the blades 3. Click the fusible link 4. Unlock (close) the damper

MAINTENANCE
- No particular maintenance required
- Clean the whole unit before start-up
- Honour the maintenance regulations according to NF S 61-933
- Attention, butterfly dampers, in their closed position, can move in the duct when placed under too high pressure.
