Technical Specifications
Vertical System
The Vertical System is a door, ceiling or combined
solution that uses a curtain design to accommodate
non-uniform rows and rack heights, and third party
racks. The Vertical System requires a drop ceiling. If a
drop ceiling is present, this is the simplest combined
solution to deploy.
Most curtain system products require hardware to be
installed. The Vertical System is completely tool-less. It
starts with a small clip that mounts on the drop ceiling
runner. This clip has a small, round ball at the end that
slides into a track on the aluminum extrusion that holds
the vinyl material. Since the ball turns freely in the slot,
the extrusion can be installed at any angle on the drop
ceiling. It is not dependent on running parallel to either
the long or the short runner in a drop ceiling, it can
run at an angle.
For re protection purposes there is a fusible link in the
clip that mounts on the runner. When the aisle heats up
to 135°F, the fusible link releases, and the vinyl along
with the aluminum extrusion drops to the oor allowing
the suppression system tooperate fully.
Retractable System
The Retractable System, exclusively for a 4’ or 6’ aisle
ceiling, is a truly unique and easily deployed solution.
The Retractable System requires a uniform height of rack
heights and two uniform rows of racks to work. It will
work with virtually any rack manufacturer’s products.
This is the easiest ceiling solution to deploy. It can be used
in conjunction with the RS Universal door or Vertical door
types to make it a combined solution.
The Retractable System consists of an aluminum canister
that straddles the aisle with a 20’ or 30’ length of the
same vinyl lm used in the Vertical System. It pulls out
the length of the aisle and is held in place on the edges by
a sheet metal guide.
For re protection purposes, the Retractable System also
uses fusible links. The fusible links release at 135°F. When
the temperature reaches 135°F, the link is broken and
the lm safely retracts into the re resistant aluminum
canister. Guidesensure that the lm retracts smoothly
when the fusible links are separated.
