22.6 Smoke detectors
a) Spray test aerosol on the smoke detectors (aerosol item no. 9549).
b) The actuators move open through to the end position. The red LED in the smoke detector, the red alarm LED (also in the
smoke ventilation panel) and the permanent acoustic signal in the break glass unit are ON.
c) Press the Reset/Closed button in the break glass unit - the actuators close through to the end position. The comfort ventilation
function is released again. The red alarm LED in the break glass unit and in the smoke control panel as well as the acoustic
smoke alarm are turned off.
22.7 Emergency power supply test
a) Remove the mains fuse from each section of the smoke ventilation panel. Wait 10 minutes (or run the motors shortly). See also
national guidelines.
b) When a mains error have occurred the green LED in the break glass units will flash for 30 minutes. The green LED on the WSA
5MC module in the smoke ventilation panel is still on and the yellow LED is turned off.
c) After 30 minutes the green LEDs will turn off and all the yellow LEDs in the smoke ventilation panel and the break glass units
will lit continuously.
d) The comfort ventilation keypads are deactivated.
e) Test the SHE trip and reset/closed as described under section 20.5.
f) Refit the mains fuse.
g) The green mains and operating LED's are on, the yellow LED is off, the malfunction message at the break glass unit is off.
22.8 Wind/rain detector
a) Open the actuators with the comfort ventilation keypads.
b) Wet the rain sensor, the actuators will fully close.
c) While the actuators are running, press the Open button at the keypad. The actuators must neither open nor stop!
Exception: If set as in point 13.2.3.8 to a manual override time (Man. operation after auto comm.).
d) The SHE trip has priority.
e) While the rain sensor is active (wet) the smoke ventilation panel is activated (alarm) and the actuators move open through to
the end position (alternatively to the SHE position)
If the start-up was successful, close the doors of the break glass units and of the smoke ventilation panel.
If the start-up was unsuccessful (error with one of the test run processes), please see chapter 10 “Description of modules”.
If necessary, check the wiring in accordance with the cable plan – see chapter 9 “Cable plan for connection to
WSC 520 / 540 / 560”.
23 Maintenance
The panels of the smoke detection and heat extraction system have to be checked, serviced and, if necessary, repaired at least
once per year by the manufacturer or an authorized system.
Remove all soiling from the units of the smoke and heat extraction system. Check fastening and clamping screws for firm seating.
Carry out a test run of the entire system (see chapter 20 ‘Commissioning and test run).
Only have defective units repaired in our factory. Only install original spare parts.
Check the operational condition at regular intervals. We recommend a WindowMaster service contract is taken out to ensure the
right function of the smoke and heat extraction system.
All back up batteries coming with the smoke control panel as standard; have to be subjected to regular checks.
The smoke ventilation panel will signal fault on the batteries if:
1. The battery voltage is below 17V
2. The charging current after 24 hours of charge is not below 100 mA. That is, if the battery voltage cannot be sufficiently high.
Within the framework of the service, the batteries have to be replaced after the specified maximum 4 year operating period.
Dispose of used batteries according to the National regulation.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERIES ARE REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
We recommend that the software of the panel is updated during the annual maintenance check!
The expected minimum lifetime for the FlexiSmoke™ is 10 years excluding the batteries, see above.
23.1 Maintenance agreements
Be aware that regular inspection of smoke ventilation systems is a legal requirement. The legislation requires that the smoke
ventilation system's owner inspects and tests the system once every year.
WindowMaster offer maintenance agreements for the smoke ventilation system and every year we inspect the complete system to
ensure it complies with the applicable legislation. Maintenance of the smoke ventilation system includes checking windows, window
actuators and emergency power and checking that triggering and control functions are fully functional.
