Configurations and sizes

The Smokemaster is available as single unit, or double horizontal or double vertical units for continuous runs, with overlapped fabric to form a continuous barrier.

Overall smoke curtain lengths for single units are available from 1500 to 4580mm, and drops are available from 500 to 6000mm. Curtains can be a maximum of 5000mm if the drop is limited to 2750mm. A requirement above these length dimensions will be met by installing either double horizontal or double vertical units.

Drive types

With the G (Gravity) version smoke curtain, the curtain falls under gravity in a controlled manner to a predetermined level either on receipt of a signal or on loss of power.

With the D (Drive) version smoke curtain, the curtain drives down in a controlled manner to a predetermined level on receipt of a signal. The smoke curtain can also be driven down to an intermediate position, for instance over an escalator, where it is held at that position for some time before descending further.

Control System

Smokemaster 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.
