Stainless steel version
The motorised fire dampers have many of the same benefits as the regular Ravenscroft BSD-C and BSD-PW fire dampers. It has a two hour fire rating as a fire/smoke damper. The installation is quick and no special framing is required, nor is a duct inspection hatch needed to check damper operation.
The Ravenscroft Smoke Dampers come fitted with a specially designed Belimo spring-return motor (cannot be fitted on site). An optional thermal tripping device allows it to be used as a combination Fire/Smoke Damper.
- Motor torque: 4/3 Nm
- Motor control: open/close
- Available motor voltage options: AC/DC 24V, AC 230V
- Running me: Motor < 60 s (0 ... 4 Nm) / Spring-return open or close 20 s
The Smoke Damper will operate on receipt of a signal from the building fire panel. Open/closed contacts provide positive feedback of the damper position. Reset is done remotely.

Installation
Co-ordination between trades on site and at time of tender is greatly reduced as the damper does not require additional hole reinforcement or framing. Actual installation time is minimised.
Flexible ductwork connectors must be used to separate rigid ducting from the damper. These prevent excess force being transferred to the plasterboard in the advent of ductwork deformation or collapse during a fire or earthquake.
