What the visit covers in Rotherham
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
Typical scopes of work
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
