The interface shall be volt free, normally open (close on operation). The signal required shall be momentary with a site adjustable retract time. The emergency retract facility shall be operational as long as there is primary / secondary power available. BMS Interface.Guidance for specification option: The barrier has volt free c/o contacts to indicate whether the barrier is fully open or fully closed. Single Photo Cell.Guidance for specification option: Tested and Passed by Exova to BS 8524-1 Annex H Audio / Visual / Spoken Warning Unit.Guidance for specification option: The barrier has a volt free contact which indicates an active c/o (change over) contact which indicates an active alarm signal. An Audio / Visual / Spoken warning unit can be interfaced with this using power supplied by the primary / secondary source or via an external source. Multi-beam Detection.Guidance for specification option: A multi-beam detection system is required when the barrier assembly is intended to protect a means of escape route. For more information, see BS 8524 - 2.5.8.5.2. |
Fabric | 4415-2-B1 is a stainless steel wire reinforced glass fabric with a specially formulated intumescent fire retardant silicone elastomer. The material does not generate toxic emissions, and has a good resistance to hydrolysis whilst still having a flexible handle. When 4415-2-BI is exposed to temperatures in excess of 140°C the coating system will form an expanding intumescent char that provides a thermally insulating barrier. Guidance for specification option: The fabric has been independently tested for fire propagation in accordance with BS 476-6 in addition to this it also conforms to BS 476-7 which relates to surface spread of flame and in accordance with approved document B 2006. As a requirement of BS EN 1634-1, the fabric and curtain are tested as a complete assembly in compliance with BS EN 1363-1 and BS EN 1363-2. |
Barrel | Fire curtain barrels are manufactured from carbon steel tube, tube size dependent on the overall size of the unit and deflection calculated to conform to British Standards. |
