Description
Firelight is a natural casement ventilator, available in a wide range of sizes, flap options and control options. It is particularly suited for installation into glazing systems in an unobtrusive way, and can provide both day to day and smoke ventilation.

Firelight has been tested in compliance with EN 12101-2 for smoke ventilation and is CE marked.

Sizes
Throat widths: from 519 to 2319 mm.
Throat lengths: from 519 to 2019 mm.

Body widths: from 700 to 2500 mm.
Body lengths: from 700 to 2200 mm.
Measured from outer flange to outer flange.

In the pneumatic version with one cylinder: max. area 2.5 m²
In the pneumatic version with two cylinders: max. area 5.0 m²
24 V dc operated with one motor: max. area 3.0 m²
24 V dc operated with two motors: max. area 5.0 m²
The maximum dimensions depend on the type of panel, the ventilator geometry and the angle of inclination.

Frame material
Low profile thermally broken aluminium profiles.

Glazing/ infill types
(Select) Sandwich panels in insulated and uninsulated aluminium / glass / polycarbonate
Infill panels can vary in thickness between 7 and 35 mm and the panels should not weigh more than 45 kg/m². Flange thicknesses can vary between 8 and 34 mm.

Controls
Suitable for both day to day ventilation and smoke ventilation: pneumatic / 24 V dc electric
Suitable only for day to day ventilation: manual / 230 V ac electric.
The pneumatic version has an optional thermal fuse (68º - 93º fire override function) to open the vent at a pre-defined temperature irrespective of the control signals for added security. All control mechanisms are visible.

Finish
(select) mill finish / polyester powder coated in a standard 60 micron single layer thickness (max. 90 micron) in any RAL colour (under Qualicoat standards) / anodized in a standard 20 micron layer thickness (under Qualanod standards).
