How Smoke Control Systems Work
Purpose The information in this guide serves to define the intended function of Smoke Control System
Equipment and also explain what operational and performance requirements are necessary for
equipment listed under the UL listing category of UUKL.
This product is subject to change without notice. This document does not constitute any warranty,
express or implied. Tyco Safety Products reserves the right to alter capabilities, performance, and
presentation of this product at any time.
Introduction Many people are not aware that smoke is the major killer in fires. Smoke can travel to places in
buildings that are quite distant from the scene of the fire, threatening life and property. It can fill
stairwells and elevator shafts, blocking both evacuation and firefighting. Smoke control systems
reduce the number of smoke-related injuries and deaths. In addition, these systems reduce property
loss and damage caused by smoke.
Smoke control makes use of powered fans to produce air pressure that can control smoke
movement. Air pressure has been used in laboratories for over fifty years to prevent airborne
bacteria and poison gases from migrating from one area to another. It has also been used to control
the entrance of dust and other contaminants into computer rooms; and used in hospitals to prevent
the migration of harmful bacteria into sterile areas.
This chapter gives you an overview of smoke-control systems, including a discussion of the
driving forces of smoke movement, the principles of smoke control, and the concepts of smoke
control system design.
In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.
1-1
Introduction
Design Parameters A smoke control system can be designed to provide an escape route and/or safe zone.
However, all smoke control systems have the following design parameters:
Air-flow paths through a building and leakage areas.
Pressure differences across smoke control system boundaries.
Door or vent openings in the boundary of a smoke control system.
Airflow through openings in smoke control system boundaries.
Design Concepts The following factors can affect the design of a smoke control system:
System Flexibility:
System flexibility means using features that allow for easy adjustment of a particular system to
meet the demands of a given situation. For example, during the design and construction of a
building, leakage paths can be estimated. Thus, a smoke control system can only be designed to
provide theoretical protection from smoke. After the building is completed, the system must be
tuned to the actual pressure values. System flexibility is also useful when retrofitting smoke
control systems in existing buildings.
System Control:
A smoke control system should be designed to automatically activate, preferably by an alarm from
a smoke detection system in the fire zone. The advantage of this type of activation is that the
system is activated in the earliest stages of a fire. Smoke control systems should be activated after
the receipt of alarms from a properly designed smoke detection system.
Energy Conservation Management:
Energy conservation methods must be considered when designing a smoke control system.
A smoke control system must be designed to override the local heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) system, or energy management system in order to implement the desired
smoke control operations.
Use of Fire Suppression Systems:
Many fire protection schemes use automatic fire suppression systems. However, while the
functions of fire suppression and smoke control are both desirable, they are not intended to
substitute for each other.
Fire suppression systems are intended to limit the growth rate of a fire. Smoke control systems can
provide safe zones and tolerable conditions along exit routes, but can do little to control fire. In
addition to the obvious differences between the two systems, the way the systems interact must be
considered. For example, pressure differences and air flows are different in the various buildings
within a complex that is protected by a fire suppression system. A water spray from a sprinkler
might interfere with air flow to a smoke exhaust or an outside air pressure system or a smoke
control system could interfere with the performance of a gaseous agent (e.g., Carbon Dioxide or
Nitrogen) fire suppression system.
A general guideline is that the gaseous agent fire suppression system takes precedence over the
smoke control system. It is also desirable that the smoke control system be able to purge the
residual gases and smoke after the fire is extinguished, and replace them with fresh air. This is an
important life-safety consideration, since some fire-suppression gases are asphyxiates.

Controlling Smoke Movement
Basic Concept Regardless of the method, the basic concept behind controlling smoke is to use differences in air
pressure to minimize the spread of smoke and, if possible, vent it from the building.
You cannot confine smoke by simply closing all access ways (such as doors and vents) to the
room that has the fire in it. Even with these passages closed off, smoke can disperse throughout a
building via cracks, holes made for pipes and electrical wires, and spaces around doors and
windows. Smoke is driven through these small openings by the expanding gases from the fire.
Smoke can also be driven onto other floors by the “stack effect,” which causes air to rise in
buildings. The stack effect is caused by the difference in the interior and exterior temperature of
the building. The figure below shows how smoke can disperse throughout a building:

Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued
Basic Concept Since smoke is carried by the movement of air, you can stop the spread of smoke throughout the
building by lowering the air pressure in the area containing the fire and by raising the air pressure
in the surrounding areas and floors. The difference in air pressure (also called the “Air Pressure
Differential”) between the smoke-filled area and the surrounding areas acts as a barrier to the
smoke, pushing it back into the smoke-filled area. The figure below shows how this works.
FigureTag FD4-465-01
POSITIVE POSITIVE
AIR NEGATIVE AIR
PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE
1. Lower the air pressure in a smoke-filled area by controlling the air flow into it and turning
ON the exhaust fans from the area to full capacity. This “Negative Air Pressure” technique
pulls the smoke out of the area and vents it outside of the building.
2. Pressurize the areas and floors surrounding the fire by turning OFF all exhaust systems
(including closing any exhaust dampers) and forcing supply air to those areas at full capacity,
creating zones of “Positive Air Pressure.” The air in the pressurized areas tends to leak into
the smoke zone, using the same cracks and holes that the smoke would use to get out. This
positive pressure airflow into the burning room keeps the smoke from spreading.

Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued
Basic Concept 3. Turn OFF the air inlets and air returns of the areas that are neither being pressurized nor
depressurized (i.e., areas far away from the fire). Turning OFF the air return prevents the
smoke that is being vented into the return air system from coming into the smoke-free area.
In cases where there are large openings (such as an open doorway) between the area on fire
and an adjacent area, smoke can be confined by a large volume of air. Pumping large
amounts of air through the adjacent space creates a constant draft through the opening into the
smoke zone (as shown below).

CENTRIFUGAL FAN I
R
AIR
The draft through the open space keeps back the smoke, confining it to the smoke zone. The
amount of air required to keep the smoke from penetrating the open space is quite large. Avoid
this type of situation when possible.
Creating To contain smoke by using pressure, you must divide the building into “Smoke Control Zones.” A
Smoke Zones floor or several floors of the building can be considered a single zone or a single floor can be
broken into a number of zones. A zone must be separated from other zones by smoke dampers,
airtight doors, and smoke-proof barriers.
When a fire occurs, the smoke control system can then pressurize all of the zones around the zone
where the fire initiated (called the “Fire Zone”), isolating the smoke to that single zone.
If the smoke control system is non-dedicated, the layout of the smoke control zones should take
into consideration the layout of the HVAC system. You should place multiple areas served by the
same HVAC controls in the same smoke control zone. Also, the smoke control zones must
conform to any fire control zones that have been established, because the smoke detectors are tied
into the fire detection system. Also, keeping the smoke control zones and the fire control zones the
same makes it easier to coordinate the two systems.

Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued
Wind:
Wind can also have a pronounced influence on smoke movement within a building. The effect of
wind velocity on the air movement within a well-constructed building is minimal. However, the
effects of wind can become important for loosely-constructed buildings or buildings with open
doors or windows.
Frequently in fires, a window breaks. If the window breaks on the side of the building away from
the wind (the leeward side), the negative pressure caused by the wind vents the smoke from the
fire room. This can greatly reduce smoke movement within the building. However, if the broken
window is on the windward side of the building, the positive pressure of the wind can force the
smoke throughout the fire floor, and possibly to other floors as well. This event can endanger lives
and hamper firefighters as well. Wind induced pressures can be quite large and can easily
dominate building air movement.
1-6
Controlling Smoke Movement, Continued
Managing “Smoke Movement Management” includes all of the methods that can be used to modify and
Smoke Movement control smoke movement for the benefit of the building occupants, firefighters, and for the
reduction of property damage. The use of barriers, smoke vents, and smoke shafts are traditional
methods of smoke management.
Barriers:
The effectiveness of barriers in limiting smoke movement depends on the leakage paths in the
barrier and on the pressure differential across the barrier. Holes where pipes penetrate floors or
walls, cracks around doors, and cracks in walls or between walls and floors are a few of the places
where smoke can leak through a barrier. The pressure differential across these barriers depends on
wind, buoyancy, stack effect, and the HVAC system.
Smoke Vents and Smoke Shafts:
The effectiveness of smoke vents and smoke shafts depends on their distance from the fire, the
buoyancy of the smoke, and the presence of other driving forces. In addition, when smoke is
sprinkler-cooled the effectiveness of smoke vents and smoke shafts is greatly reduced.
Elevator shafts in buildings have often been used as smoke shafts. The obvious problem with this
is that it prevents the elevator from being used for fire evacuation (because of the “piston effect”
of an elevator), and frequently allows the smoke to travel between floors. Specially designed
smoke shafts which have no leakage can be used to prevent the distribution of smoke to fire-free
floors.
In summary, the effectiveness of barriers in a traditional smoke management system is limited to
the extent that the barriers are free of leakage paths. Smoke vents and smoke shafts are limited by
the fact that the smoke must have sufficient buoyancy to overcome other forces that may be
present.
In the last few years, motorized fans have been used to overcome the limitations of the traditional
systems. The systems that employ these motorized fans are called “Smoke Control Systems.”
These Smoke Control Systems rely on creating air pressure differences and positive or negative
airflows to limit and control the movement of smoke and other noxious gases.
1-7
Principles of Smoke Control Systems
System Types Two types of smoke-control systems exist – Dedicated and Non-dedicated.
Dedicated Smoke Control System: Is installed in a building for the sole purpose of
controlling smoke.
Non-dedicated Smoke Control System: Uses parts of the building HVAC system to control
smoke.
In some cases, a building has both non-dedicated and dedicated systems. Non-dedicated systems
are used throughout the building for normal areas such as offices and manufacturing facilities.
Dedicated systems are used for special areas, such as elevator shafts, stairwells, stairtowers, and
other areas that need special smoke-handling techniques.
Smoke Control System products connect to HVAC equipment to form a system for controlling the
flow of smoke during a fire condition. Smoke-control systems are designed, installed, and
maintained so that a system remains effective and provides a “Tenable Environment” during
evacuation of the protected areas. A “Tenable Environment” as defined in NFPA 92A, is an
environment in which the quantity and location of smoke is limited or otherwise restricted to allow
for ready evacuation through the space.
Maintaining A major concern with any emergency signaling system, whether burglary, fire, or smoke control,
System Integrity is maintaining system integrity. This task is traditionally accomplished by electrical supervision of
wiring. However because the proper operation of the fans and dampers connected to the output
circuits may involve mechanical controls and pneumatic controls, as well as electrically-actuated
parts, end-process verification is provided. The end-process verification is provided to alert the
firefighter/operator that the fan or damper has operated in response to an automatic or manual
command issued during an emergency condition. While end-process verification confirms
operation during an emergency condition, system integrity during a non-emergency
(normal supervision) conditions is checked differently depending on whether the equipment is
non-dedicated or dedicated.
The operability of the non-dedicated smoke-control equipment is verified by the "comfort level" in
the areas that are served by the equipment. In other words, if the HVAC equipment is not
functioning properly, the building occupants are soon made aware of this and the problem can be
solved.
The operability of the dedicated smoke control equipment is verified by an automatic self-test that
is performed on a weekly basis.

Smoke Control and Fire Control System Differences
Separate System The smoke control system is usually separate from the fire control system, since they have
for Separate Goals different goals. The goal of the fire control system is to contain and extinguish the fire as fast as
possible. These systems, which halt the fire but not the smoke, are often triggered automatically,
relying on the heat of the fire to activate the system. Although smoke control systems are also
automatic, you must have manual overrides for the automatic controls.
A smoke control system may also be required to work with gas-based fire extinguishers, such as
gaseous agent systems installed in many computer rooms. If the smoke control system tries to vent
a room with such a system, it may vent the fire suppressing gas as well. Removing the gas lets the
fire continue burning. Also, pressurizing the areas surrounding an extinguisher equipped room
reduces the effectiveness of the system. Air forced into the room from the outside by pressure can
provide the fire with the oxygen it needs to continue burning. Therefore, gas-based fire
extinguishers and smoke control systems should not be active at the same time in the same
area.
The smoke control system receives the location of the fire from the fire panel. The fire panel uses
a combination of smoke and heat sensors to determine where the fire is located. As defined in
NFPA 92A: In the event that signals are received from more than one smoke zone, the smoke
control system will operate in the mode determined by the first signal received.
Specific, zoned smoke control strategies should never be triggered by manual pull boxes. The
risk of someone pulling a box someplace other than the fire zone is too high for you to trust your
smoke control system to this form of activation.
All smoke control systems installed in buildings must be in accordance with the standards
adopted by local codes. You can find additional information regarding fire alarm control units in
Underwriters Laboratories Standard UL 864 and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®).
1-9
Designing a Smoke Control System
Basic Goal The basic goal of the smoke control system is to maintain a tenable environment. A tenable
environment allows:
The building occupants to evacuate safely from the building.
The firefighters to get quickly to the fire zone.
How to Begin The first step to take in designing a smoke control system is to lay out the smoke control zones,
as previously explained. After the smoke zones are established, address the following design
factors:
The zone-by-zone smoke control plan.
The amount of pressure needed to contain smoke.
Proper separation between zones.
The fans and duct work used in the smoke control system.
Dampers required for smoke control.
The air inlets and outlets used in the smoke control system.
Engineering Smoke control systems must be engineered by qualified personnel. Complete calculations of
Responsibility system designs are the responsibilities of the Engineer of Record and go beyond the scope of this
publication. A high level of coordination is required between the engineers, Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ), and system designers who are involved in the process.
Creating the You must create a smoke control plan for each zone in your building. Each smoke control zone
Zone-By-Zone plan consists of the number of steps the smoke control system must take to contain the smoke in
Smoke Control Plan the building zone. For each zone, you must decide:
Whether you should depressurize the zone if a fire occurs.
If the zone is to be depressurized, by how much you should depressurize it.
Which adjacent zones should be pressurized and how much pressure is required.
Some zones in a building may need special consideration. As mentioned earlier, zones that have
gas fire extinguisher systems should not be vented (depressurized) and the zones surrounding the
fire zone with such a system should not be pressurized. You may not be able to pressurize other
areas, such as hospital labs or biological research labs, due to the risk of contaminating
surrounding areas with germs or toxins from these facilities.
Consider the number of zones surrounding the fire zone that should be pressurized. While, in
theory, all you need to do is to pressurize all of the zones immediately surrounding the fire zone, it
is possible that smoke can find a way around the pressurized areas and infiltrate distant zones.
Thus, depending on the size of the building and the capacity of the smoke control system, you may
decide to pressurize more zones.
Note: An increase in the number of zones to be pressurized means a corresponding increase in
the size of the air supply system.
Make certain to write down the state that all fans, dampers, and other smoke control equipment
should be in to control smoke in each zone. Then program this information into the smoke control
system.

Designing a Smoke Control System, Continued
Determining the Since air pressure is what keeps smoke from spreading, the primary design factors are the amount
Smoke Containment of pressure needed to confine the smoke, and the size of the system used to create this pressure.
Pressure
For the smoke control system to create a barrier of air pressure between the smoke zone and
surrounding zones, the amount of pressure required varies with the height of the ceiling and
whether or not the building has a sprinkler system. The table below gives examples of the
minimum pressure differential needed to keep smoke out of rooms surrounding the fire site as
defined in NFPA 92A.
Table 1-1. Examples of Fire Zone Minimum Pressure Differential
Minimum Pressure
Sprinkler System Ceiling Height Differential (in.)*
Separating Smoke You must separate smoke zones from one another by “smoke barriers,” which prevent smoke from
Zones Properly passing through them. Smoke barriers can be a wall, a floor, or a ceiling. Any openings in the
smoke barrier must be closed with a smoke-proof fitting. For example, any duct work going
through a smoke barrier must have “smoke dampers” installed. A smoke damper is a damper that
prevents smoke from passing through it when fully closed. During a smoke emergency all of the
fittings should seal themselves, so that smoke cannot penetrate the barrier.
Since the smoke control zones should be the same as the fire control zones, you usually separate
your zones with a “fire-rated partition.” A fire-rated partition is a wall that is built of fire resistant
materials and that reaches from floor to ceiling. Different floors should be separated by a “fire-
rated ceiling,” a ceiling made of fire-resistant materials. Both fire-rated partitions and fire-rated
ceilings are rated for the amount of time they can withstand a fire. Any openings in a fire-rated
partition or ceiling must be capable of being sealed with a fire-rated closure, such as a fire-rated
door or fire damper.
Selecting the Proper The fans and duct work used in the smoke control system must be capable of providing the
Fans and Duct Work amount of pressure you calculated earlier. In a non-dedicated system, this may mean that you
need to install fans that have a higher capacity than the HVAC system normally requires. The
ducts must be capable of taking the pressurization (or the depressurization, for the fire zone's
return duct) that the smoke control system demands. Both the fans and the ducts should meet local
requirements such as those stated in NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning
and Ventilating Systems.
1-11
Designing a Smoke Control System, Continued
Selecting the Proper Fans must be capable of reaching the required pressure setting within 60 seconds. Each fan must
Fans and Duct Work also have a pressure monitor so that the smoke control system can receive feedback on the status
of the fan to determine whether it is actually working. It is the responsibility of the system
designer to select duct work that meets the temperature and fire ratings for the specific application.
In some climates, the outside air can be so cold that drawing it directly inside the building for
pressurization can damage the building's interior fixtures or equipment (e.g., freeze pipes or
damage temperature-sensitive equipment). In these cases, some sort of pre-heater needs to be
installed on the air inlet. The smoke control system does not need to control this air intake heater
as closely as one on an HVAC system, since maintaining comfort levels is not an issue. It simply
has to make sure the air sent into an area is warm enough to not damage the building's equipment.
Choosing the The dampers used to isolate the smoke zone must be smoke dampers. Smoke dampers are dampers
Proper Dampers that meet the requirements given in UL 555S, Standard for Leakage Rated Dampers for Use in
Smoke Control Systems. Following this standard ensures that the dampers are able to block the
smoke when they are fully closed. These dampers may be different from those you might use in an
HVAC system that does not perform smoke control.
In a smoke control system, the dampers must be able to travel to their desired setting in a maximum
time of 75 seconds (see note below). All dampers must be fitted with end-position switches to
provide feedback to the smoke control system. These switches let the control system know the
position of the dampers, since smoke dampers are usually either fully-closed or fully-open.
Note: Local codes may specify a shorter maximum time.
Dampers sometimes function as both smoke dampers and fire dampers. Fire dampers are dampers
that block a fire from penetrating a fire-rated partition via a duct. These dampers are normally
open, held in place by a fusible link. The fusible link is a heat-sensitive device that releases the
dampers when it is heated to a certain temperature. Once the fusible link releases, the dampers
close by the force of gravity. This is required so that fire dampers operate even if the local electric
service has failed. The specifications for fire dampers appear in UL 555, Standard for Fire
Dampers.
If you want a damper to function as both a smoke damper and a fire damper, it must meet the
requirements for both devices. A damper can be operated by an electric motor or pneumatics.
However, it must have a fusible link or some other means of automatic closure (like a regular fire
damper). Since the control system can override the damper closure if the temperature warrants, the
damper needs the fusible link in case the damper’s automatic control is interrupted.
Placing Air Inlets You need to carefully consider the placement of the air inlets and outlets on your building. If you
and Outlets place an outlet that vents smoke too close to an air inlet, the air intake can draw the smoke back
into the building. Since smoke rises, the exhausts that vent smoke should be placed well above air
inlets. The exhausts should be placed several feet above the roof level to allow space for the
smoke to rise and disperse.
Keeping smoke outlets far away from air inlets does not guarantee that the air brought into the
building is always smoke free. You may want to place smoke detectors in air inlets that operate
during a smoke emergency.
Note: In some cases, smoke detection in the air inlet is required to have the capability of being
overridden by the responding authority after the situation has been investigated.
If the detector finds smoke in the incoming air, it alerts the control system. The control system
must then decide whether or not to shut down the air inlet.
1-12
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System
Introduction Most of the systems discussed so far have been non-dedicated systems. Even in a building where
the primary smoke control system is non-dedicated, special zones or functions may exist that
require a “dedicated” system. The most common example of a dedicated system is a dedicated
smoke control system for a stairtower.
About Stairtowers A “stairtower” is a stairwell with a ventilation system that is isolated from the main building.
The only connection between the building and the stairtower are fire-rated doors on each floor.
Since the building occupants should use the stairtower to leave during an evacuation, keeping the
stairtower smoke-free is vital.
A stairtower has its own dedicated system that pressurizes the stairtower to keep smoke out.
This dedicated system can take several forms, from a fan mounted in the roof of the stairtower, to
a duct system that delivers air to each level.
You must pressurize a stairtower enough to keep smoke out. However, if the pressure in the
stairtower is too great, then opening the doors leading into the stairtower can be difficult.
(See the figure below.)

Ensuring Doors Table 1-2 assumes a door height of seven feet and a distance from the doorknob to the knob side
Can Open of the door of three inches. If your door does not meet these requirements, or has opening
hardware other than a doorknob, such as panic hardware, then refer to the ASHRAE publication
Design of Smoke Control Systems for Buildings for a formula to calculate the proper opening
force. The door widths in Table 1-2 are only valid for doors that are hinged at one end. For other
types of doors, see the ASHRAE document.
Many door closers vary the amount of force as the door opens. They provide less resistance in the
early stages of opening the door than they do later, when the door is almost fully open. The force
to open the door shown in Table 1-2 represents the force needed to open the door only enough to
let air flow through the opening. Once air is able to flow, the force exerted by the difference in air
pressure on the door lessens. Therefore, when calculating the force required to open the door, you
may need to lower the door closer force.
Controlling Pressure Stairtower smoke control systems are divided into two categories: “non-compensated” and
in a Stairtower “compensated.” These categories are illustrated in the figure below, which shows stairtower
pressurization by top injection. Non-compensated systems simply turn on a fan to pressurize the
stairtower, as shown below in Stairtower A. The fan speed does not change to compensate for
doors opening and closing. The more doors that are open, the more the pressure differential
between the stairtower and the building drops.
Constant Variable

Stairtower A Stairtower B
1-15
Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued
Controlling Pressure The building shown in Figure 1-6, Stairtower A has no vent to the outside. Compensated systems
in a Stairtower adjust the airflow to make up for pressure lost through open doors. A compensated system
(Figure 1-6, Stairtower B) can use dampers (or vents) to relieve excess pressure in the stairtower
to ensure that the pressure does not go over the maximum limit.
There are a number of ways compensated stairtower smoke control systems can control
pressurization. In a basic system with a roof-mounted fan blowing air into the stairtower, pressure
can be regulated by varying the speed of the fan, the pitch of the fan blade, the inlet vanes, or the
number of fans operating (assuming there is more than one).
More sophisticated systems use ducts to deliver air to several points in the stairtower. The
dampers can be controlled to maintain the appropriate pressure in their zone. Duct systems can
also use bypass dampers and ducts to control the amount of air flowing from the fan to the outlets.
The bypass dampers are opened when the stairtower is at the proper pressure, so that excess air
flows into the bypass duct, then back to the air inlet not into the duct system.
The figure below shows a stairtower pressurization system that uses multiple pressure injection
dampers mounted in an air pressure duct. In this example, the vents to the building have
barometric dampers. While a roof-mounted fan is shown in the figure, the fan can be located at
any level. A manually-operated damper may be located at the top of the stairtower to aid the fire
department in purging smoke from the building during a fire.

Controlling Pressure The figure below shows a bypass pressure control system for stairtower pressurization with the

can actually be placed at any level. The bypass duct dampers are controlled by one or more static
pressure sensors located between the stairtower and the building. In addition, a manually-operated
damper may be located at the top of the stairtower for smoke purging by the fire department.
Bypass Duct
Air Intake
There are several ways for a compensated stairtower smoke control system to get rid of excess air
pressure to ensure that the stairtower doors can open properly. One or more vents to the building
exterior (with dampers) can be used in the stairtower to release excess pressure. These dampers
can be barometrically controlled (being forced open by the excess air pressure) or controlled by
electric motors or pneumatics as in conventional HVAC systems. In both cases, the dampers must
be placed far enough away from the air supply to prevent venting of air that has not yet been able
to disperse through the stairtower. Vents can also lead into the building, but you should consider
carefully the impact of venting extra pressure into the building before using this type of vent.
You can also use an exhaust fan to vent the excess pressure from the stairtower. Such a fan should
be designed to operate only when the stairtower is over-pressurized. It should never be on when
the pressure differential between the building and the stairtower is below the lowest limit.

Designing a Dedicated Smoke Control System, Continued
Elevator Smoke Most elevators do not have smoke protection, fire protection, or other features necessary for them
Control to be considered as a means for fire evacuation. Elevator systems not specifically designed and
built for fire evacuation should not be used in fire situations.
The elevator smoke control system is intended to prevent smoke flow to other floors by way of the
elevator shaft. Elevator shafts present a special menace with regards to smoke control. An elevator
shaft makes a perfect chimney to draw smoke into the upper levels of a building. Since elevators
usually have openings on each floor, and the seals on the elevator doors are often poor, the
elevator shaft can become a mechanism to spread smoke throughout a building. Smoke control in
an elevator shaft is an important consideration in the overall smoke control plan.
The problems resulting from smoke migration through elevator shafts are illustrated by the
MGM Grand Hotel fire. Although the fire occurred on the ground floor, the smoke from that fire
migrated through the elevator shafts to the upper floors resulting in a number of fatalities.
An obvious solution to this problem is to pressurize the elevator shafts, as shown in the figure
below. However, pressurizing an elevator shaft presents a number of problems. While the elevator
doors can be fitted with improved seals and rubber sweeps, these systems will not totally eliminate
air leakage. Also, most elevator shafts are not designed to be pressurized. They often have large
openings at the top where the cables feed into the winding room. Shafts are often constructed of
porous material that cannot contain the air pressure. And since most shafts are not designed to be
inspected after the elevators are installed, finding and repairing cracks that would let smoke
infiltrate or pressure escape is difficult.
Special Smoke-Proof
Elevator Doors
Elevator
Low Pressure
Smoke Area Created by

Even if the shaft is pressurized, another primary problem is caused by the transient pressures
produced when an elevator car moves inside the shaft during a smoke emergency. This “piston
effect” can pull smoke into a normally pressurized elevator lobby or elevator shaft. For example,
an elevator car moving down from the top of the shaft may create a small low air pressure zone
near the top of the shaft, which can pull smoke from the fire zone into the shaft.
At the present time, these issues have not been resolved. Pressurizing the elevator shafts so that
the elevators can operate during a smoke emergency is still being studied.
1-18
Detecting Smoke
Introduction The fire detection system is the system that is connected to the smoke or heat detectors. Every
smoke zone should have a Listed smoke or heat detector installed in it. The detectors should be
located so that they can detect the presence of smoke or fire before it spreads beyond the zone.
Once the fire control system detects the fire, it relays to the smoke control system the zone and the
type of alarm that was triggered. The smoke control system then takes action.
Never use manual pull stations to initiate specific zoned smoke control. There is no guarantee that
the person pulling the alarm is in the same smoke zone as the fire. The automatic smoke control
system should take only those actions that are common to all smoke strategies when a manual pull
station is activated. For example, the stairtower can be pressurized in response to a manual pull
box alarm. Implementing a specific smoke control strategy must wait until the smoke detectors
locate the fire zone.
Configuring and The smoke control system should be able to act on its own in response to detecting smoke.
Monitoring a Smoke When it detects smoke, the system enacts the planned strategy of the designer. The automatic
Control System smoke control should maintain the strategy to control smoke in the first zone that smoke is
detected in. It would be difficult for you to create strategies for controlling smoke in all possible
combination of zones.
The automatic smoke control system must have the highest priority over all other automatic
control systems in the building. It must override energy management, occupancy schedules, or
other controls. The only systems that should be able to automatically override the smoke control
system are such safety systems as high pressure limiters.
Considering how unpredictable smoke is, you must have a manual control panel from which the
smoke control system can be monitored and overridden. This panel, called a “Firefighter's Smoke
Control Station” (FSCS), allows fire-fighting personnel to take manual control of the smoke
control system.
Firefighter Smoke The FSCS is a graphic annunciating control panel or computer workstation that gives firefighters
Control Station information about the state of the smoke control system, as well as manual control over all of its
(FSCS) components. The FSCS should be located in a secure room or cabinet to prevent unauthorized
personnel from tampering with it. When a TrueSite Workstation (TSW) with a single monitor is
used as the FSCS it must be located adjacent to the 4100U/ES panel that is providing the smoke
control functionality. The room or cabinet should be clearly marked so that firefighters can
quickly locate the FSCS.
The FSCS provides a diagram of the building showing the smoke control system, along with status
indicators and override functions for all of the system components. The diagram of the building
should include all smoke control zones, all of the ducts leading to and from the zones with arrows
indicating the direction of air flow in the ducts, and a clear indication of which zone each piece of
equipment serves.
The panel or computer workstation must have controls to activate all fans, dampers, and other
equipment related to the smoke control system. These manual controls must be able to override all
automatic control of smoke control equipment. In particular, the FSCS must be able to override:
Hand/off/auto switches.
Local start/stop switches on fan motor controllers.
Freeze detection devices.
Duct smoke detectors.
1-19
Detecting Smoke, Continued
Firefighter Smoke The FSCS must not override such safety controls as:
Control Station
(FSCS) Fire suppression.
Electrical overload protection.
Personnel protection devices.
Electrical disconnects as required by NFPA 70.
Other controls in accordance with UL 864.
Any fire/smoke damper thermal control as required by UL 33, Standard for Heat Responsive Links for
Fire Protection Service or UL 555S, Standard for Leakage Rated Dampers for Use in Smoke Control
Systems.
In non-dedicated systems, local motor controller hand/off/auto switches can remain in-circuit with the FSCS
panel. But, they can remain in-circuit only if the switches are in a locked room accessible only to authorized
personnel. Also, if such a switch is thrown, a trouble condition must sound in the building main control
center. The indicator lights on the FSCS provide information about the functioning of the system.
The following colors for example are used for FSCS indicators:
Green - Fans, dampers, and other smoke control equipment in an "on" state.
White - Fans, dampers, and other smoke control equipment in a "normal" state.
Yellow or Amber - Fans, dampers, and other smoke control equipment in a fault or abnormal condition.
Red - Dampers and other smoke control equipment in an "off" or "closed" state.
The FSCS gets information on the status of the smoke control system from monitor sensors on the equipment.
Each fan that has a capacity of over 2,000 cfm must be equipped with an airflow monitor. In air distribution
systems, a monitor sensor is required to detect airflow while the blade or the vane in a damper is monitored
for position. Smoke dampers should be fitted with end-range switches to indicate that they are either fully-
opened or fully-closed. A dedicated button that tests all the panel lights is provided on a control panel type
FSCS to assure the indicator lights are functional.
All of the status indicators on the FSCS represent the state of the equipment as determined by the monitor
sensors. A fault indicator comes on if the piece of equipment is not in the correct state based upon its
intended function and within its trouble indication time (60 seconds for a fan and a maximum 75 seconds for
a damper). If within that time the proof sensors do not report that the piece of equipment has responded to the
control system command, the FSCS indicates that the piece of equipment has failed.
Testing the System During the installation, you should perform “operational tests” that make sure the components and
subsystems of the smoke control system are installed correctly. After the installation is done, you must
perform “acceptance tests,” to prove that the smoke control system is capable of doing what it was designed
to do. The testing procedures are covered in a later chapter of this document.

Introduction This chapter presents the general design parameters for Simplex Smoke Control System
equipment.
In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.
2-1
System Requirements
General The Simplex Smoke Control System has the following general requirements:
Requirements
A smoke control system is a complete system engineered for a particular installation.
Electrical supervision is required up to the input of the trunk-connected devices involved with
the electrical sensing and control of HVAC devices.
The interconnection of the smoke control equipment to the HVAC equipment, and to other
system equipment, is intended to be in accordance with a specific installation diagram that is
generated by either the smoke control equipment manufacturer or by another responsible
party.
Agency Equipment for Smoke Control Systems is to be listed to Underwriters Laboratories category
Requirements UUKL per the requirement of UL 864, Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems.
Additionally, system equipment must be in accordance with locally adopted codes such as
NFPA 92A and the pertinent building codes.
Some of the smoke control considerations are as follows:
Standby Power - Standby power for Simplex Smoke Control System Equipment is optional,
however if the equipment also provides fire alarm service then standby power would be
required.
Smoke Control Actuating Input Circuits - The circuits which connect to devices which
initiate automatic smoke control must consist of one of the following:
- A supervised fire alarm initiating circuit of a Fire Alarm Control Unit which is also
providing smoke control.
- A supervised circuit connected to a zone output of a UL Listed Fire Alarm Control Unit.
- An unsupervised circuit connected to a zone output of a Listed Fire Alarm Control Unit
with each unit mounted adjacent (within twenty feet) to the other and the interconnecting
wiring run in conduit.
Firefighter’s Smoke Control Station - Each system must also provide a Firefighter’s Smoke
Control Station (FSCS) as defined in NFPA 92A. The FSCS provides a complete and easily
understood system status, with provisions for manually overriding any smoke control process.
The contents of this document are derived from Standard NFPA 92A Recommended Practice for
Smoke-Control Systems. Additional construction and reliability concerns, not covered in
NFPA 92A, are derived from similar requirements governing Fire Alarm Control Units as found in
UL Standard 864. Detailed engineering design information is contained in the ASHRAE
publication, Design of Smoke Management Systems.

System Design Parameters
Verifying System The means for verifying system integrity during a non-emergency condition varies depending on
Integrity During whether the smoke control system is a “dedicated” or a “non-dedicated” system.
Non-Emergency
Conditions
Dedicated Smoke Control Components: Solely used for smoke control functions and are
not operated in a non-emergency condition. Dedicated system equipment is therefore required
to incorporate an automatic weekly self-test of each smoke control function.
Non-dedicated Smoke Control Components: HVAC components within a building which
are operated regularly. The normal “comfort” level associated with the proper operation of the
equipment serves as the means of maintaining system integrity.
Weekly Self-Test The weekly self-test consists of the smoke control system automatically commanding the
associated function to operate and expecting, within a specified time, that the associated proof
sensor will operate. A valid proof sensor operation does not have to be annunciated. However, the
lack of an expected proof sensor operation should produce an audible trouble signal and indicate
the specific device which did not operate.
Verifying System Smoke control system equipment must verify that a fan or damper has achieved its required end
Integrity During function during emergency conditions. This end-process verification consists of monitoring fans
Emergency by vane or pressure differential switches, and dampers by degree-of-opening switches. These
Conditions
monitored switches are further connected back to an input monitoring circuit of the Smoke
Control System Equipment, programmed to expect a signal within a specified time after an
automatic or manual activation. Annunciation of the end-process verifies that the process operates
as intended; if the proof sensors fail to operate, an audible trouble signal is sounded.
Automatic Where equipment used for smoke control is also used for normal building operation, control of
Activation this equipment must be preempted or overridden as required for smoke control. Automatic
activation of systems and equipment for zoned smoke control must have the highest priority over
all other sources of automatic control within the building. This equipment includes air
supply/return fans and dampers subject to automatic control according to building occupancy
schedules, energy management, or other purposes. The following controls should not be
automatically overridden:

System Design Parameters, Continued
Subsequent Once an automatic activation has occurred, subsequent alarm signals that would normally result in
Automatic the automatic actuation of a smoke control strategy shall be annunciated only. No fans or dampers
Activation should be actuated in response to any subsequent automatic fire alarm signal in order to avoid the
possibility of defeating any smoke control strategies that are in process.
Automatic Activation of the smoke control system should be by smoke detectors and any other automatic
Activation by a devices located within the zone covered by the specific air conditioning and ventilating system.
Manual Pull Box Manual fire alarm pull boxes should not be used to initiate specific zoned smoke control
strategies because such a pull box in an adjacent smoke zone may be pulled, thereby placing the
system in an incorrect mode.
Manual Operation It is desirable that the smoke control system be independently controlled from a smoke control
center which should have controls capable of overriding all other HVAC systems. A manual
command is capable of overriding either fully or partially any automatic activation that may be in
process. This is based on the assumption that any manual activation is performed by authorized
personnel in response to a known emergency condition.
Automatic Override Since smoke control operation must override any programmed HVAC function, it is considered
of Manual Activation acceptable for the “Initial Automatic Activation” to override any manual control, initiated by any
other operator terminal other than the FSCS, which is currently in place.
NFPA Standard 92A requires that manual control initiated by the FSCS take precedence over
automatic control. Therefore, the smoke control system automatic programmed functions do not
override a manual FSCS control when a smoke control operation is initiated.
Example: When a control action at the FSCS is operated, the event is activated or deactivated
at a priority higher than the automatic smoke control program or any other operator
terminal priority. This prevents the automatic smoke control program or manual
commands from other operator terminals from overriding commands initiated at the
FSCS.

Graphic Firefighter This is because the FSCS is used by firefighters to activate and deactivate all smoke control
Smoke Control sequences in the event that the fire spreads and for smoke cleanup operations. All switches
Station (FSCS)
override the automatic operation, in the event of a conflict with the operation. The FSCS must be
able to override any other manual or automatic control that is being used in the system, except
when those controls intended to protect against electrical overloads, provide for personal safety,
or prevent major system damage.
The design of the controls and status indications must be as simple as possible for firefighter use.
Smoke control schemes can sometimes incorporate the simultaneous use of multiple (sometimes
over a hundred) air handling units, exhaust fans, and dampers to accomplish the function.
The FSCS graphic must show all fans in excess of 2000 CFM, all dampers or groups of Variable
Air Volume (VAV) boxes, and all major ducts. The FSCS graphic must depict the direction of
airflow in the ducts. The air handling units, fans, and dampers must be grouped into “systems” or
“smoke zones.” These “smoke zones” are determined by the physical layout of the building and
the smoke and fire barriers as structurally and architecturally designed, for firefighting purposes.
It may be advantageous to provide one switch for each “system” or “smoke zone.” With the
appropriate units interlocked to manage smoke in the affected area, there could be potentially
hundreds of H-O-A switches. Fans require a three-position control that provides ON-AUTO-OFF
capabilities. Dampers require a three-position control that provides OPEN-AUTO-CLOSE
capabilities. The AUTO position can be removed if the piece of equipment can only be controlled
by the FSCS.
Smoke Management zones can be provided with a three-position switch, in addition to the
required switches, that provides PRESSURIZE-AUTO-EXHAUST capabilities. Status indications
are required for each system to positively indicate that a smoke control sequence has been
initiated. Fans must have a single green indicator that turns on when the fan proof sensor indicates
that the fan is running.
The FSCS must have a Red indicator for each smoke control zone to signal if the zone is currently
in an alarm condition.
The FSCS must have Amber/Orange indicators to annunciate equipment faults from each piece of
equipment monitored by proof sensors. If fans do not indicate running within 60 seconds, or
dampers do not reach the required position within 75 seconds, a fault indication must be
annunciated on the FSCS.
Note: Confirm actual times with local codes.
The FSCS must have a “master key-switch” to prevent unauthorized personnel from issuing
commands. When the key is inserted and turned, all controls on the FSCS are enabled. Alternate
command control may be performed by being inside a locked enclosure or other access control
means that are accepted by local authority.

Wall-Mounted The FSCS must have an audible signal that sounds when either a smoke control zone is in alarm or
Graphic Wall- to bring attention to a fault indicator. Operating the key-switch and then pressing the audible
Mounted Graphic silence button is the only method of silencing the FSCS audible signal.
Firefighter Smoke
Control Station The FSCS must have an “Audible Silence Button.” This momentary push-button is activated only
(FSCS) when the master key-switch is ON. This button is used to silence the FSCS audible signal that
activated as a result of proof sensors failing to report or annunciation of smoke detection within
the FSCS smoke control zones.
The FSCS must have a means to turn OFF equipment fault indicators that were activated as a
result of proof sensors failing to report within the required time period. If a “Clear Faults Button”
or similar means to clear faults, is used it would be active only when the master key-switch is ON.
An alternate means may be by logging in at an authorized level at the Fire Alarm Control Panel
and then clearing the faults.
The FSCS must have a “Lamp Test Button.” This momentary push-button is active at all times to
turn ON all indicators to allow for visual confirmation of failed indicator LEDs.
Note: Refer to Chapter 4 for a list of Simplex Field Wiring Diagrams and Interconnection
Diagrams that can assist you in installing the Simplex Smoke Control System.
FSCS Ordering A Firefighter’s Smoke Control Station (FSCS) consists of a site-specific, customized floor plan or
Information elevation graphic, illuminated status indicators, and switches. The FSCS uses Simplex LED
drivers and switch input modules (Models 4100-7401 through -7404 and 4602-7101) that
communicate with the 4100U/4100ES and 4010ES FACPs by means of a supervised RUI
communications channel. The Models 4100-7401 through -7404 and 4602-7101 have been found
suitable for use as components internal to a UL-Listed FSCS manufactured by others.
There are several suppliers of UL-listed FSCS. Below are references to two manufacturers known
to have UL Listed FSCS equipment utilizing Simplex LED drivers and switch modules when this
document was published. Since manufacturer's Listing compliance may change, always verify
smoke control system equipment listing compliance of the FSCS before placing your FSCS order.:

The FACP connects to all of the smoke detectors, manual pull boxes, fire alarms, etc within the
About the FACP building. When one of the FACP sensors detects a problem, the FACP informs the smoke control
panel which sensor is in alarm condition and what the alarm condition is. The smoke control
system receives all alarm information from the FACP. However, the smoke control zones must
correspond to the zones of the FACP.
When multiple services are used with a TSW that is used for FSCS operation (Dual Monitor
Status Bar mode), refer to 579-835 4190 TrueSite Workstation Operation & Application Instructions for
Operation status bar functions.

2. There are two monitors.
The smoke control panel must work completely in conjunction with the FACP. This is because the
FSCS is used by firefighters to activate and deactivate all smoke control sequences in the event
that the fire spreads and for smoke cleanup operations. In the event of a conflict all switches
override the automatic operation. The FSCS must be able to override any other manual or

grouped into “systems” or “smoke zones.” These “smoke zones” are determined by the physical
layout of the building and the smoke and fire barriers as structurally and architecturally designed
for firefighting purposes.
“Smoke zones” can be supplied with PRESSURIZE, AUTO and EXHAUST control icons. Status
indications are required for each system to indicate that a smoke control sequence has been
initiated.
Fans must have a single green indicator that turns on when the fan proof sensor indicates that the
fan is running.
Dampers have three indicators:
Yellow: Turns ON when the damper proof sensor indicates that the damper is closed.
Green: Turns ON when the damper proof sensor indicates that the damper is open.
Amber: Turns ON to indicate damper failure.
Note: The damper indicators must be OFF when the damper is between the open and closed
position.
The FSCS must have a Red indicator for each “smoke zone” to signal when the zone is in alarm.
The FSCS must have an Amber/Orange indicator for each piece of equipment monitored by proof
sensors to indicate faults. If fans are not running within 60 seconds or dampers do not reach the
required position within 75 seconds, a fault indication must be annunciated on the FSCS.
Note: Confirm time frames with local codes.

The FSCS must have an audible signal that sounds when either a “smoke zone” is in alarm or
when a fault indicator is on.
Operation of the Audible and Silence is described in sections “FSCS Setup for Single Monitor”
and “FSCS/TSW Setup for Dual Monitors” for the single-monitor and two-monitor style systems.
The Lamp Test Icon jumps to a screen that 'paints' the screen in a solid color. This allows the
operator to view the pixels of the screen.

FSCS Setup for In Single Monitor, touch screen or non-touch screen monitors may be employed. The TSW is
Single Monitor dedicated to Smoke Management and access is controlled by password protection. The 4100ES
mounts in close proximity to TSW. TSW must be located in a limited access/non-public area
adjacent to the 4100U/ES that is still readily accessible to the firefighting personnel.
The Fire, Pri2, Supervisory and Trouble status icons are visible on the Status Bar. When an
appropriate signal is received, the status icons flash and the sounder is activated. The
unacknowledged points and icons are displayed in a steady ON state once acknowledged. The
TSW is not allowed to acknowledge any points or display any Alarm List. This must be done
through the adjacent 4100ES. The only visible options allowed are Graphics and Login. When a
graphic screen is selected during setup, only the Home screen, Pan, and Zoom features are
available to the user. When logged-in at the appropriate access level, the user can control the fans,
dampers and other smoke control equipment required for Smoke Management.
The `HOME' screen which shows the basic location layout is fixed. For improved clarity and
Control/Indications, the screen features of the Pan and Zoom functionality are available. These
screens indicate the position/status of the fans, dampers and other smoke control equipment as
well as having the control buttons (Icons) present.
The 4100ES also has Led Modules which indicate which Smoke Management devices are in
trouble. This enables the user to see all fans, dampers and other smoke control equipment troubles
at one time.
The Auto Jump function in the TSW is used to jump to the 'Home' screen whenever there is an
Alarm or Trouble that effects the FSCS operation. An Alarm or Trouble indicator is displayed in
the general area. It is flashing for unacknowledged points and on steady when the point is
acknowledged. From this Home screen the operator can easily navigate to the area of Alarm or
Trouble for more detail. If other Fire Alarms or Troubles in the Smoke Management system are
initiated the system jumps to the Home screen so that the user can see what is happening and can
determine what to view. (Fire Alarm has a higher priority than trouble. Therefore if there is a Fire
Alarm, and a trouble comes in, the system does not jump to the Home screen.)
The TSW (FSCS) is set up for Captive Environment, so that no other application can run.
See Chapter 6 ”Single and Dual Monitor Setup/Programming” for the full setup procedure.

FSCS/TSW Setup for When dual monitors, touch or non-touch screens, are used, one monitor is dedicated to the FSCS
Dual Monitors graphics only. The TSW is located in a limited access/non-public area that is still readily
accessible to firefighting personnel.
This is accomplished by using access levels to prohibit other information from being displayed on
the FSCS monitor. The other monitor can be used to perform the normal functions associated with
the TSW.
When multiple screens are part of the configuration for the TSW FSCS, a `HOME' screen shows
the basic layout of the premises. This screen displays Alarms or Troubles in the smoke zones.
For improved clarity and Control/Indications, other screens with Pan and Zoom functionality are
available. These screens indicate the position/status of the fans, dampers and other smoke control
equipment as well as having the control buttons (icons) present.
The Fire, Pri2, Supervisory and Trouble status icons are visible on each screen. They flash but
have no control function associated.
The Auto Jump function in the TSW is used to jump to the 'Home' screen. The graphics view

Installing the Smoke Control System
Introduction This chapter contains general guidelines for smoke control installations and interconnections.
Please refer to the applicable installation documents for component installation instructions. These
documents are shipped with the individual components.
All wiring in the Simplex Smoke Control System must comply with the National Electric Code
(NFPA 70), the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), the appropriate Simplex Field Wiring
diagrams (refer to the “Field Wiring and Interconnection Diagrams” section of this chapter) and
any state or local requirements.
In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.
4-1
General Smoke Control Interconnections
Overview A Simplex Smoke Control System is usually part of a larger Simplex Fire Alarm System. The
Simplex Smoke Control System ties into the building air handling equipment, either dedicated,
non-dedicated, or both, to form the overall Smoke Management system for the building.
Since Simplex equipment is not the primary control equipment for a building's non-dedicated air
handling equipment, the interconnection between the Simplex Smoke Control System and the
non-dedicated air handling equipment is critical. This interconnection must be done in such a
manner to guarantee that the Smoke Control System takes priority, and that Smoke Control
System commands cannot be overridden by other building systems.
Although every application is different, the sections that follow describe some typical methods for
interconnecting to air handling elements to insure that Smoke Control System commands take
precedence and that accurate monitoring of the air handling system is fed back into the Smoke
Control System. Fan and damper control are shown in some detail to illustrate principles that can
be extrapolated to other more special purpose applications. These principles should be generally
applied to the detailed design of specific engineered smoke control solutions.
Smoke Control System operation is dependent both on the hardware and the control software.
The wiring diagrams shown in this chapter, must be used with appropriate programming to create
an operational control system.

Dedicated Smoke Control System Wiring
Overview Dedicated Smoke Control System wiring is usually straightforward. The Smoke Control System is
the only source for commands to the fans and dampers, and therefore bypass and cut-off relays are
not needed. The following sections illustrate some examples of dedicated fan and damper control.
Dedicated Damper control is a basic function of the Simplex Smoke Control System. Interconnections to
Damper Control motorized dampers are shown in Figures 4-2 and 4-3.
The figure below shows dedicated motorized damper control using a 4090-9120 6-Point I/O
Module. Both relay outputs are used, one to control opening the damper and the other to control
closing it.
The wiring between the 6-Point I/O Module and the control relays is unsupervised, so the module
must be mounted within three feet of the relays/dampers in accordance with NFPA 72.
Note: The wiring to the limit switches is supervised and limited to 500 ft. (152 m).

In a dedicated fan control application, the 4090-9118 Relay IAM is used to provide inputs to a fan
to turn it ON and monitor the feedback from the controller. The wiring between the Relay IAM
and the fan is unsupervised, so the IAMs must be mounted within three feet of the controller in
accordance with NFPA 72.

Non-Dedicated Smoke Control System Wiring Diagrams
Overview Non-dedicated Smoke Control System wiring adds a layer of complexity, as the Smoke Control
System must take control of the fans and dampers from the HVAC system. This introduces the use
of bypass and cutoff relays not needed in a Dedicated Smoke Control System. The following
sections illustrate some examples of non-dedicated damper and fan control.
Non-Dedicated Damper control and overriding the HVAC control of the damper is a basic function of the Simplex
Damper Control Smoke Control System. Interconnections for dampers are shown in Figures 4-6 through 4-9.
Control of the damper is accomplished using the 4090-9118 Relay IAM. The Relay IAM
communicates with the FACP via the Simplex IDNet Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). When
commanded by the FACP the Relay IAM activates the smoke control override relay and supplies
power to the pressure switch to close the damper.

Non-Dedicated Feedback of the closure is accomplished using a 4090-9120 6-Point I/O Module to monitor the
Damper Control closed position limit switch on the damper. The module also communicates with the Simplex
FACP via IDNet. Wiring from the module to the control relay is unsupervised, so it must be
mounted within three feet of the relay/damper in accordance with NFPA 72.

Non Dedicated Like smoke dampers, fan control and overriding the HVAC control is a basic function of the
Fan Control Simplex Smoke Control System. General principles for interconnection to a non-dedicated fan are
shown in Figures 4-8 and 4-9.
In a non-dedicated fan control application, a 4090-9120 6-Point I/O Module is used to provide
inputs to a fan controller for smoke control override and monitor the feedback from the controller.
The wiring between the module and the fan controller is unsupervised, so the module must be
mounted within three feet of the controller in accordance with NFPA 72.

Non Dedicated Non-dedicated fan control using the 24-Point I/O is similar to control using a Relay IAM
Fan Control or 6-Point I/O Module, except that the 4100-7401 24-Point I/O Module is used for both control
and feedback. This module communicates with the 4100U/4100ES and 4010ES Master over the
RUI communications SLC, and offers the added advantage that all I/O is supervised, so no
restrictions on module placement are required. The figure below shows the equivalent
interconnects for applications using a 24-Point I/O.

Smoke Control System Programs, Wall-Mounted
Graphics
Introduction This chapter provides examples of Simplex Smoke Control System programs. These programs are
presented to illustrate what can be accomplished with this system. Since every system is unique,
your programs will not be identical to these programs. Instead, use these programs as templates
when programming the system.
Keep in mind the following smoke control objectives when programming the system:
Maintain safe fire-free and smoke-free routes to allow sufficient time for the occupants to exit
the premises or move to designated safe refuge areas.
Provide a relatively clear approach to the fire area by firefighters so that the fire (the source of
the smoke) can be contained and extinguished as fast as possible.
If designated safe refuge areas are a part of the life safety design, then the control system must
prevent smoke migration into such areas for a prolonged period of time.
Reduce the amount of fire and smoke damage to the property.
In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.

Smoke Control Program Requirements
Introduction The following paragraphs describe the requirements for the various types of programs that can be
implemented using the Simplex Smoke Control System.
Dedicated Smoke Dedicated smoke control system weekly self-test programs have the following functions:
Control System
Weekly Self-Test Begins Saturday at 0000 hours if there is no alarm.
Run once. Any failures sound an audible fault signal and light an indicator on the FSCS
showing the device that failed. In addition, the program displays “Weekly Smoke Control
Self-Test Failed (Time & Date).”

Dedicated Smoke Control System Weekly Self-Test
Custom Control The Custom Control equations in this example are written for 4100U/4100ES and 4010ES based
Programming smoke control systems, and show how to implement the Dedicated Smoke Control System
Example Weekly Self-Test requirement described on the previous page.
Note: The points mentioned are representative of any system. Your system uses different points
to provide the Inputs and Outputs. The following equations are provided as reference
material. The syntax may be slightly different than that shown. However, the logic and
content are the same.
The following list gives the Custom Control program (equation) number followed by a title
(or label) for the program.

TSW has 7 access levels, 0-6. Access levels are used to prohibit unauthorized use of specific
Graphic Screen
Setup functions. For FSCS operation described in this manual, levels 3 and above (4, 5, or 6) are
authorized to perform Smoke Management operations.
Follow instructions below to setup Single and Dual Monitor systems for FSCS operation. For
Single Monitor systems the Graphic Home screen is set to be visible when the user logs in at level
3. For Dual Monitor systems the Graphic Home screen is set to be visible on the second monitor
when the user logs in at level 3.
Dual Screen Application
1. Start the TSW application and log in at level 3.
2. Select the Graphic Home screen and select the Floating option. Move the screen to the
second monitor and maximize it (Figure 6-1).

Fire, Pri2, The Dual Monitor application requires the Fire, Pri2, Supervisory and Trouble icons to be
Supervisory and on each screen. Two icons are required for each application. One flashes on unacked events and
Trouble Icons the other stays on steady after acknowledgement. In this example, Fire uses A7 and A8, Pri2 uses
A10 and A11, Supervisory uses A13 and A14 and Trouble uses A16 and A17 (see Figures 6-6, 6-
7, 6-8 and 6-9 respectively). The priority level is set at 3. The icon used for unacked events is
slightly larger than the other.

4100ES and TSW (FSCS) Programming Examples
Introduction This chapter demonstrates sample programming steps for 4100ES and TSW. Use these steps as a
guide when programming jobs.
In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.
7-1
TSW (FSCS) Programming Examples
Single Monitor and In the programming example below, the 4100ES is connected to 4100-9118 Relay IAMs (see
Dual Monitor Chapter 4: “Installing the Smoke Control System” for other devices that could be used). The TSW
Programming (FSCS) Graphics screen in Figure 7-1 shows the status of each fan and damper, along with arrows
Example that indicate air flow. Each of the four floors shown is divided into two smoke zones. These zones
can be controlled automatically, individually or by zone. An example of the results after a Fire
Alarm has been initiated is also shown in the Home screen (Figure 7-1) and the Active Floor
screen.
For simplicity, only four of the 12 floors are shown in the Home screen. The main fans and
dampers are shown for a general overview. Each must indicate if they are ON, OFF, OPEN
CLOSED or at FAULT. The arrows indicate the direction of air-flow. On each floor there is an
indicator that shows if there is an alarm. A Dual Monitor layout is shown, with the Alarm List
icons in the dedicated area.

Glossary of Terms
Introduction This chapter contains a glossary to terms that are used in this publication
In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.
8-1
Glossary of Terms
Glossary Acceptance Tests – Tests designed to prove a smoke control system is capable of doing what is
designed to do.
AHJ – The “Authority Having Jurisdiction” is the organization, office, or individual responsible
for approving equipment, an installation, or a procedure.
Alarm Service – The service required following the receipt of an alarm signal.
Alarm Signal – A signal indicating an emergency requiring immediate action, as an alarm for fire
from a manual box, a waterflow alarm, an alarm from an automatic fire alarm system, or other
emergency signal.
Alarm System – A combination of compatible initiating devices, control panels, and notification
appliances designed and installed to produce an alarm signal in the event of fire.
Annunciator – A unit containing two or more identified targets or indicator lamps in which each
target or lamp indicates the circuit, condition, or location to be annunciated.
Auxiliarized Local System – A local system that is connected to the municipal alarm facilities.
Auxiliarized Proprietary System – A proprietary system that is connected to the municipal alarm
facilities.
Auxiliary Protective Signaling System – A connection to the municipal fire alarm system to
transmit an alarm of fire to the municipal communications center. Fire alarms from an auxiliary
alarm system are received at the municipal communications center on the same equipment and by
the same alerting methods as alarms transmitted from municipal fire alarm boxes located on
streets.
Auxiliary Trip Relay – A relay used to operate a municipal master box from an auxiliarized
control panel.
Bell, Single Stroke – A bell whose gong is struck only once each time operating energy is applied.
Bell, Vibrating – A bell that rings continuously as long as operating power is applied.
Box (or Station), Fire Alarm – (1) Non-coded. A manually operated device that, when operated,
closes or opens one or more sets of contacts and generally locks the contacts in the operated
position until the box is reset. (2) Coded. A manually operated device in which the act of pulling a
lever causes the transmission of not less than three rounds of coded alarm signals. Similar to the
non-coded type, except that instead of a manually operated switch, a mechanism to rotate a code
wheel is utilized. Rotation of the code wheel, in turn, causes an electrical circuit to be alternately
opened and closed, or closed and opened, thus surrounding a coded alarm that identifies the
location of the box. The code wheel is cut for the individual code to be transmitted by the device
and can operate by clockwork or by an electric motor. Clockwork transmitters can be pre-wound
or can be wound by the pulling of the alarm lever. Usually the box is designed to repeat its code
four times and automatically come to rest. Pre-wound transmitters must sound a trouble signal
when they required rewinding. Solid state electronic coding devices are also used in conjunction
with the fire alarm control unit to produce coded sounding of the audible signaling appliances.
Break-glass Box (or Station) – A break-glass box is one in which it is necessary to break a
special element in order to operate the box.

Glossary of Terms, Continued
Glossary Bypass Pressure Control System – The bypass-around supply fan can actually be placed at any
level. The bypass duct dampers are controlled by one or more static pressure sensors located
between the stairtower and the building. In addition, a manually operated damper may be located
at the top of the stairtower for smoke purging by the Fire Department.
CC – Custom Control.
Central Station System – A system, or group of systems, in which the operations of circuits and
devices are signaled automatically to, recorded in, maintained, and supervised from an approved
central station having competent and experienced observers and operators who, upon receipt of a
signal, take the required action. Such systems are controlled and operated by a person, firm, or
corporation whose principal business is the furnishing and maintaining of supervised signaling
service.
Channel – A path for signal transmission between two or more stations or channel terminations.
A channel can consist wire, radio waves, or equivalent means of signal transmission.
Chimes – A single stroke or vibrating-type audible signal appliance that has a xylophone-type
striking bar.
Circuit Interface – A functional assembly that interfaces one or more of its initiating device
circuits with a signaling line circuit in a manner that permits the central supervising station to
indicate the status of each of its individual initiating device circuits.
Circuit – The conductors or radio channel, and associated equipment used to perform a definite
function in connection with an alarm system.
Coded Signal – A signal pulsed in a prescribed code for each round of transmission. A minimum
of three rounds and a minimum of three impulses are required for an alarm signal.
Combination Detector – A device that either (1) responds to more than one of the fire
phenomena such as smoke, heat, flame, and fire gas or (2) employs more than one operating
principle to sense one of these phenomena. Typical examples are (1) a combination of heat
detector with a smoke detector, or (2) a combination rate-of-rise and fixed temperature heat
