Smoke Ventilation Controls
Smoke Ventilation requires a higher level of control and integration options. These ventilation controls are considered part of a safety of life system and must meet higher specifications such as BS:EN12101-10.
As a safety of life component, it needs to be able to operate in the absence of an electrical supply. So, all our smoke control panels have battery backup capability. Because the batteries operate on different power systems than mains, 24v actuators are much more common in smoke ventilation designs.
Some smoke ventilation controls can also be used for comfort purposes, allowing the installation of a single dual-purpose system. Accessories such as thermostats, switches, wind, and rain sensors can automate the zone’s comfort. Check out our smoke ventilation controls page for more information.
