Colt FM1 Fire Curtain
FM1 Fire Curtains are well suited to most industrial and commercial buildings as they are unobtrusive, moving to their active position only when needed.
Features & Benefits
High performance - Designed to achieve an integrity rating for either 60 or 120 minutes.
Wide range of options – The specification page provides further details. The FM1 can be adapted to the physical constraints.
Certified performance - The Colt FM1 has been tested to EN 1634-1 and is classified E60-C or E120-C in accordance with EN 13501-2:2007, thereby achieving an integrity rating for either 60 or 120 minutes.
Easy to install - Delivered in modular form and as such is easy to install
The FM1 is designed to roll down in the event of a fire to seal off an area which is on fire
Configurations and sizes
The FM1 is available either as single unit, or as either a double horizontal or a double vertical unit for continuous runs, with overlapped fabric to form a continuous barrier.
Overall curtain lengths for single units are available from 1000 mm to 5000mm, and drops are available from 500 mm to 5000mm. A requirement above this maximum length will be met by installing either double horizontal or double vertical units.
Double vertical and double horizontal units are unlimited in length and drops are available from 500 mm to 6000mm provided that curtains overlap.
The curtain falls under gravity in a controlled manner to a predetermined level either on receipt of a signal or on loss of power. A certified metal side guide rod system provides a seal between the curtain fabric and the building, ensuring that the immense positive or negative pressures created by a fire will be resisted.
The bottom bar has a closure arrangement to ensure a tight seal even with uneven floors. Expansion joints are incorporated to allow for thermal movement.
The FM1 Fire Curtain is activated on receipt of a signal from a fire alarm
Control system
FM1 fire resistant curtains can be made capable of operation as an integrated part of a smoke control and fire management scheme, with emergency power units and the facility to interface directly with a fire control panel.
The system is fully protected and fail-safe to avoid the need for fire rated cabling, with a 30 minute time delay to maintain units in the raised position in the event of a temporary interruption to the power supply. If power is not returned, units will descend to the down / default position after a time lapse.
