Safety notes

• The device must not be used outside the specified field of application, especially not in aircraft
or in any other airborne means of transport.
• The actuator is adapted and installed on the fire and smoke damper by the damper
manufacturer. For this reason, the actuator is only supplied directly to safety damper
manufacturers. The manufacturer then bears full responsibility for the proper functioning of
the damper.
• The two switches integrated in the actuator are to be operated either on power supply voltage
or at safety extra-low voltage. The combination power supply voltage/safety extra-low voltage
is not permitted.
• The device may only be opened at the manufacturer's site. It does not contain any parts that
can be replaced or repaired by the user.
• The device contains electrical and electronic components and must not be disposed of as
household refuse. All locally valid regulations and requirements must be observed.

Product features

Mode of operation The actuator moves the damper to the operating position at the same time as tensioning the
return spring. The damper is turned back to the safety position by spring energy when the
supply voltage is interrupted.

Thermoelectric tripping device Complies with the specific requirements of the standard ISO 10294-4.
BAT: If the ambient temperature of 72°C is exceeded, the duct outside temperature fuse will
respond. If the duct inside temperature of 72°C is exceeded, then the duct inside temperature
fuse will respond. When one of the thermal fuses responds, the supply voltage is interrupted
permanently and irreversibly.
The LED is on when
- supply voltage is available
- the thermal fuses are OK and
- the test switch is not pressed.
The temperature fuse for the ambient temperature protects the actuator from overheating and
cannot be replaced. The actuator must be replaced when the duct outside temperature fuse is
triggered. The temperature fuse for the duct inside temperature can be replaced, see section
"Accessories".
The function of the system (interruption of the supply voltage) can be checked by pressing the
test button.
Note: The function of the thermal fuses and the control key is only warranted if the actuator is
connected to the supply voltage (LED on).

Manual override Without power supply, the actuator can be operated manually and fixed in any required
position. It can be unlocked manually or automatically by applying the supply voltage.

Signalling Two microswitches with fixed settings are installed in the actuator for indicating the damper
end positions. The electrical contacts of these microswitches are equipped with a gold/silver
coating that permits integration both in circuits with low currents (mA range) and in ones with
larger-sized currents (A range) in accordance with the specifications in the data sheet. It should
be noted with this application however that the contacts can no longer be used in the
milliampere range after larger currents have been applied to them, even if this has taken place
only once.
The position of the damper blade can be read off on a mechanical position indication.

Standards / Regulations The design of the actuator is based on the specific requirements from the European standards:
- EN 15650 Ventilation for buildings – Fire dampers
- EN 1366-2 Fire resistance tests on service installations
(Part 2: Fire dampers)
- EN 13501-3 Fire classification of construction products and building elements
(Part 3: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements used in
building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers)

Recommendation for application The regular operational check (open/close control of the fire damper) enhances the safety of
people, animals, property and the environment. Unless other requirements are stipulated – e.g.
in the damper manufacturer's operating instructions – Belimo recommends the performance of
a monthly operational check. Fire damper actuators from Belimo are designed in accordance
with service life specifications contained in the technical data sheet for regular operational
checks. Notes for regular operational checks can be found in the European Product Standard for
Fire Dampers (EN 15650) under "Maintenance information".
