Disclaimer:

This installation guide is for a Coopers Fire Ltd, Fire Curtain only. However in certain circumstances/applications will cover smoke curtains inclusive of side channels. This manual should only be used by competent installers with relevant training and experience, if in doubt Coopers Fire advise you to contact your distributor.

1.0 Mechanical Installation.Mechanical installation procedure (the fire curtain head box is delivered in kit form) for single or multiple rollers.

- Verification of the fire barrier line and head box installation location is to be ascertained using the drawings provided by Coopers Fire which are approved by the customer, or their representative. - It is imperative that the fire barrier is not situated close to any obstruction that may impede the operation. - Check all the materials before the start of the installation.

A minimum fixing size of M10 must be used to achieve an approved Coopers Fire, Fire Curtain installation. At least 2 x M10 fixings must be installed at a pitch of 1000mm along the full length of the head box and embedded into the fixing interface a minimum depth of 60mm. A minimum fixing size of M8 must be used to achieve an approved Coopers Fire, Smoke Curtain installation. Refer to installation manual for more information.

It is critical when using UNISTRUT fixings to have the correct component order to ensure a solid fixing .The threaded rod should have; a square washer, a spring washer and a full nut on each side of the fixing.

NB, 1000 mm is the maximum permissible distance between centres of headbox fixings.

Hangers should be located at a minimum of 100mm from the end of the headbox.

Use 4.8x 11mm rivets.

IMPORTANT: Horizontal levelling of the fire head box and rollers is critical. Any deviation from this may damage the performance of the fire curtain.

MAX. 100MM

Threaded (M10 steel) rod/hangers must be a maximum of 1000mm in length.

The headbox joiner has pre-drilled holes that will align with the fixing holes on the headbox. Use either 4.8x11mm rivets or M5x12mm bolts with nyloc nuts to join the headbox.

Check the roller is inserted properly by giving the roller a shake and double check the roller does not pull out of the bracket at the motor end.

Install cable tie to secure the motor cable away from the fabric as illustrated.

Motor Bracket

Feed the motor cable though the cable gland, which is fitted in the 20mm hole in the head box and secure with a heavy duty preferably steel cable tie.

NB. Motor cable is supplied with standard cable for standard fire curtain and FP200 fire protected cable for Emergency Retract Units.

1.3 Stall Brackets and Catch Brackets.

Ensure that the stall brackets (supplied), are installed onto the stall brackets located at the end of the head boxing. This is a crucial part of the installation.

To achieve a mounted or a reverse mounted fitting it may be necessary to attach the front facing section whilst the angle channel and adjustment channel are attached to the desired surface. Then once this fixing has been made, remove the entire assembly and fix the inner section of the side guide assembly to the adjustment channel. This is then re mounted onto the wall and aligned to be plumb.

(Refer to section 1.1 for approved fixing methods)

Headbox

The Side Guide Adjustment Channels should be fitted from the underside of the head boxing to the Finished Floor Level (FFL). The size is dependant on the drop from the bottom of the head boxing to Finished Floor Level (FFL). Ensure that the fixings are at the top of each slot, so that in case of fire it will allow the channels to expand upwards. All fixing holes should be used. (Refer to section 1.1 for approved fixing methods).

1.5 Adjustment Channel and Side channel installation.

It is important at this point to check the centre line of the adjustment channel is 42mm from the face of the headbox.

For FireMaster™ Plus Single roller this value is 59mm.

Measure and cut the side channels to the correct length, nominal 70mm inside the boxing and fit to the adjustment channels, but do not secure at this time. The fire barrier line should be in a straight line from the centre of the channel to the mid point of the fabric build up as a start point.

The side guide channels must be installed at 90° to the head boxing and parallel to each other.

Once adjustment channels are positioned correctly the guides can be secured to the channels with 3.9x11 mm self drill self tapping steel screws (SDST) at 300mm pitch. Ensure the poppers in the fire barrier do not snag on the side guide channels and allow as much room as possible so that the poppers run freely within the guide.

It is important when fitting the SDST screws that they are fixed at the furthest possible point back into the side channel as to prevent the bottom bar retainers from snagging on the fixings.

Using a chalk line mark off the exact drop length of the curtain indicated on the customer drawings. Make another chalk line above the first chalk line; this will identify the top edge of the bottom bar. Cut each curtain along the bottom chalk line, raise each curtain up to working height using the ‘Manual’ control function on the Motor Control Card (MCC).

The bottom bar is in two parts, inner and outer. Cut one length of inner bottom bar in half.

Ensure that all curtains are hanging ‘plumb’, this is crucial before installing the bottom bar. The headboxing/ rollers may not be square/level if the curtains do not hang plumb.

Apply the double sided tape to the pre cut 1.25m inner section of bottom bar. Using the second chalk line align the top of the bottom bar to the chalk line and press firmly into place, the tape will hold it in place until final fixing is made.

The start position of the bottom bar must be 25mm from the side channel.

With the Key-switch in the TEST position: Apply power to the PSU BBU CAM and the curtain MCU’s. Connect the batteries (provided) at this point observing correct polarity. Note that the batteries provide 24Vdc and should be wired in series.

Each control panel has a key-switch and reset push-button that allows simple testing of the fire or smoke barrier system.

2.2 Initial Power and Test.

Monitor the curtains controlled by the PSU closely during this following stage: Turn the key-switch to the NORMAL position then press the RESET push-button. The curtains should start to rise together. If they do not then immediately return the key-switch to the TEST position and let the curtains drop to the floor again. Determine why the motors did not operate together and correct the fault BEFORE re-testing the system. Allowing a conjoined curtain to rise too far with one or more motors failing can damage the system.

Soft Set

Set a marker 300mm below the headbox, when the bottom bar aligns with the set mark, press the ‘soft set’ button (SW3) on any one of the MCU’s operating the fire curtain.

Check that LD2 illuminates on all MCC’s once the ‘soft set’ button has been pressed. This indicates that all MCC’s have received the ‘soft set’ command through the slave line.

Check/observe that the fire curtain ascent speed slows by approximately 50% once the ‘soft set’ has been activated.

The curtain will continue to drive until the bottom bar locates inside the headbox.

The MCC’s will detect when the bottom bar has located in the headbox by monitoring the current drawn by the motor(s). When the bottom bar locates inside the headbox, the motor current rises and the brake will apply when the motor current exceeds the ‘set value’ by the SW2+SW3 combination.

Finished Floor Level

Check that LD3 is illuminated on the MCC’s when the bottom bar has stalled. This indicates that the brake has been applied.

Switch all MCC’s to run mode after the soft set has been correctly set and the bottom bar has correctly located in the headbox.

Check that LD1 begins to flash on all MCC’s (1 pulse per second) when SW1 has been switched to run.

The ‘soft set’ position will now remain in the internal memory of the MCC.Test the curtain using the test switch facility as described in section 2.2.

Check that the curtain automatically switches into ‘soft set’ mode where previously programmed

Check the bottom bar locates correctly into the headbox and that LD3 illuminates.

Test the curtain 5 times and ensure that it runs correctly. Leave a 4 minute cooling period for every 1 minute of operation.
