Size Parameters
The fire shutter test relates to the 1HR/2HR fire resistance. The shutters are generally intended for protection of a range of openings in masonry / concrete, steel, steel stud or timber partitions.
The maximum clear openings are for 4000mm wide x 2500mm high, or in a partition system for 1 hour up to an area of 10sq mtrs, principally this incorporates the BRE test FG 7941N which relates to a tested fire shutter in a stud partition.
The opening must be fire rated to suit and be capable of carrying the weight of the shutter. Where the shutters are used to protect serveries it is assumed that the counter is composed of non-combustible material and the counter is of sufficient width to ensure that the bottom rail movement under heating cannot result in the rail overhanging the counter.
Shutters over 3500m up to 4800mm will be traditional curved 75mm lath construction, based on a maximum area of 10sq mtrs. Shutters under 4000mm clear width will have 50mm guides and shutters over this width will have the traditional 65mm guides.
Activation Methods
Fire Relay
Principally the commonly used means of release, the characteristics mimic the use of the solenoid on the conventional fire shutter, again linked to the fire alarm, the shutter rather than closing manually through the gearbox will be powered down.The unit requires a maintained supply; if this is not possible a separate battery back up unit can be provided.
Fuseible Link
On activation the link, which is a soldered link, separates and releases at 68 degrees centigrade, in effect the temperature release of the link creates a signal to the relay which in turn powers the door down.
Again if there is no facility for a maintained supply the battery back up unit must be used.
Audio Visual Warning Panel
Principally this unit is designed to delay the closing of the fire shutter; generally the fire alarm is linked to the audio visual unit and from the audio visual unit straight into the key switch. There is no need for a separate relay; there is already a relay in the FDI.
On activation from the fire alarm the unit starts to “flash & sound”, this unit contains a programmable timer which effectively delays the signal to the relay in the panel to close the door.
Battery Back Up Unit:
Principally the tube motor fire shutter requires a maintained supply. If this cannot be achieved then effectively the shutter will require a battery back up unit. If under fire conditions there is a power failure, the shutter must have a means of ensuring closure, the unit provided will give the facility for at least one operation under fire conditions. The dimensions of the battery backup are 200mm (wide) x 130mm (long) x 70mm (deep)

Professional Installation - FIRAS
The installation of a fire door or shutter is a complex procedure requiring a detailed understanding of the role played by each individual component. It therefore needs to be installed by someone with the correct training and expertise.
As approved Firas Registered Fire doors and shutter installers we ensure a certified and traceable process from manufacture to installation.
FIRAS is a certification scheme for companies installing fire protection products and systems.
No matter how good a product is, poorly installed its fire protection performance can be severely reduced.
We are certified installers of fire doors and shutters. Proper installation of fire shutter assemblies and door sets is fundamental to their overall performance.

Why have your door and shutter systems maintained?
- It is a legal requirement - as failure to show evidence of maintenance could mean prohibition & enforcement notices being served and fines up to £5000 and imprisonment for 2 years. 'Safety In Use', the New European CEN Standards legislation - States that all types of door should be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. For further clarification visit www.dhfonline.org.uk.
- Routine maintenance prolongs the operational life of the installation and ensures that the installation is kept in good working order.
- It ensures that the door is working in a safe and efficient condition - helping to prevent accidents and damage which in turn results in down time, effecting work flow, productivity and resulting in loss of revenue.
- It assists in identifying potential problems which can easily be rectified.
