What to specify
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Battery back-up. Back-up units maintain controlled closing during a mains failure.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
Typical scopes of work
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
