Application

Automatically controlled smoke curtain designed to channel smoke, flames and combustion gases in the event of a fire. The curtain forms barriers and thus prevents the spread of smoke and gases.

Description

A SmokeMaster SM5 is a smoke curtain that drops automatically in case of fire. Its role is to limit smoke and combustion gases to prescribed smoke sections, preventing the uncontrolled spread and cooling of the smoke gas. A SKC-SC certified control panel ensures safe operation. The SmokeMaster SM5 is used in shopping centres, atria, airports, warehouses and factory buildings etc, in other words, wherever static smoke curtains are not suitable for architectural, logistical or operational reasons.

Product Highlights:

  • SmokeMaster SM5 curtains have been tested and certified according to EN 12101-1:2005+A1:2006.
  • The associated SKC-SC control panel has been certified according to EN 12101-10:2005 and ISO 21927-9:2012.
  • "Invisible” fire protection: no visible fixings and sprung bottom bar.
  • Extra option to equip the curtain with side guides to hold the fabric in position, either by roller side guides (FR) or rod side guides (FS). 
  • Pre-fabricated assembly delivered with a modular design. 
  • Operation: ASB 1 to ASB 4. 
  • Unit length: 1.5 m to an infinite length.
  • Drop: 0.5 m to 15 m. 
  • All metallic parts can be provided with a powder coating according to RAL or similar.

Product Technical Information

Dimensions:

  • Unit length: 1.5 m to an infinite length.
  • Drop: 0.5 m to 15 m.

Controls:

There are two actuator types available for the SM5: a D version (drive up, drive down version - ASB2/4) with 230V AC, as well as the G version (gravity down version - ASB1/3) with 48V DC motor and functional weight.

The unwinding mechanism of the G version is installed within the roller and contains, in addition to the high-quality DC motor with its planetary gears, a control board with its own intelligence for carrying out the essential safety-related functions:

  • Control of speed.
  • Locking unit.
  • Monitoring of the “rest” position.
  • Synchronisation of multiple units.
  • “HWD” intermediate position when in gravity-fail-safe mode.
  • Adjustment of the bottom bar.
  • Tested for more than 10000 operational cycles.

Compliance:

  • Tested to European Standard EN 12101-1.
  • Furnace test to EN 1363-1.
  • Reliability and response time tests with 1,000 cycles.
  • Permeability test not exceeding a leakage rate of 25 m³ per hour per m².
  • Fire resistance + integrity: up to D 120 and DH 120 class.
  • Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008.
  • Certification according to EU Construction Products Regulation.

600⁰C for 120 minutes.

Material

D120 stainless steel-reinforced glassfibre.

Guidance for specification option:

The curtain material comprises a silver-grey glass fibre fabric with a fire-retardant aluminium-filled polyurethane coating to ensure good heat reflection.

  • Thickness: 0.4 mm.
  • Weight: 455 g/m².
  • Achieves class A2-s1, d0, tested in accordance with BS EN 13501-1:2007 and has a standard classification according to Table 1 of BS EN 12101-1, achieving a resistance to smoke at 600°C for a minimum of 120 minutes. Therefore the complete curtain achieves a D120 time/temperature class. EC Certificate of Conformity 0672 - CPD – 0144.

Manufacturer guidance

Insert requirements.

  • Overall available curtain lengths are from 1500 mm to an infinite length, and drops are available from 500–15 000 mm.
  • Alternatively, single units are available with up to a 5000 mm length and with a drop of 2750 mm (maximum).


A requirement above these sizes will be met by installing either double horizontal or double vertical units.

Controls

Drive down (D).

Guidance for specification option:

  • Unroll speed: 0.07 m/s. The curtain descends in a controlled fashion in order to avoid dangerous guillotine/ free-fall deployment:
  • Ingress protection: IP44.
  • Electrical: 230 V a.c./ 5 0Hz, 0.55 A, 126 W.

Manufacturer guidance

Side guides:

  • FR: The rollers mounted on the sides of the curtain ensure that it is fixed tightly into the side guides and so provide additional stability.
  • FS: The loops attached to the side of the fabric work together with the vertical 20 mm diameter guide tubes to hold the fabric tightly within the side guides, and so provide additional stability. As a result there is minimal air leakage around the edge of the curtain.
