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 mains voltage or
on safety extra-low voltage. The combination mains voltage/safety extra-low voltage is not
permitted.
• Cables must not be removed from the device.
• 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

Operating mode 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.

Safety Position Lock™ The Safety Position Lock™ reliably holds the fire damper in the safety position in case of fire
therefore ensuring maximum safety. The technical solution for this function of the BFL and
BFN actuators has a patent pending.

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)

Product features
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".
