Smoke control sequence
commands
Objective
9
Close supply air dampers to
remote zones on central system
Limit smoke spread
10
Close exhaust air dampers to
remote zones on central system
Limit smoke spread
11
Start central system supply fan (if
not currently on)
Pressurize adjacent zones
12
Start central system return fan (if
not currently on)
Create negative pressure in
smoke zone by exhausting
smoke
13
Reset the static pressure control
(if present) to maximum allowable
value for all systems under active
FSCS control
Monitoring and control
14
Monitor air flow and damper
position at panel
Confirms system operation
Note: Multiple central systems serving portions of a fire floor will
require sequencing for each central system command consistent with
smoke control application
Dual duct smoke control system
Table 16 lists the sequence for a dual duct smoke
control system.
