/34 | F-C2 Description Fire dampers represent passive fire protection, designed with the help of compartmentalization to prevent the spread of toxic gases, smoke and fire. Standard fire dampers are designed and certified in accordance with EN 15650 and tested for EIS criteria according to EN 1366–2. Fire damper together with its installation form an inseparable part of fire resistivity rating. F-C2 fire dampers are designed for the installations listed and described in their HandBook.
/34 | F-C2 Material Composition The product contains galvanized sheet metal, graphite fire-proof laminate, polyurethane foam. These are processed in accordance with local regulations. The product contains no hazardous substances, except for the solder in the thermofuse, which contains a milligram of lead. Calcium silicate board is used in sizes greater than 125 mm.

/34 | F-C2 Operation Manual Warning: Both sides of F-C2 blades are spring loaded in the open position and are closing very quick. To avoid injury, make sure to keep the blades movement area clear while manipulating with F-C2. The fire damper is ready for installation when its blades are in open position. The blade position, if using a H1 version, is indicated by an end switch, which indicates when pushed the damper blades’ closed position.
/34 | F-C2 Damper Inspection The spring mechanism keeps the dampers on stand-by mode throughout their entire operational life. Without the producer’s permission, there must be no changes or modifications performed on the dampers’ structure. The operator performs regular inspections of the dampers as per established regulations and standards at least once every 12 months. The inspection needs to be performed by an employee who has been specifically trained for this purpose by the manufacturer.
