The system is connected to the smoke detection DIVISION:08—DOORS AND WINDOWS system located in the elevator lobby which initiates Section:08300—Specialty Doors deployment within 10 seconds of the smoke detector's going into alarm. A cabling system allows the film to unwind. REPORT HOLDER: Flexible magnetic strips,on the vertical sides of the film,seal the film to the elevator door frame or the auxiliary rails. The SMOKE GUARD®CORPORATION system is capable of sensing an object in its path and will not 11420 EXECUTIVE DRIVE fully unroll until the object is removed. Film-mounted rewind BOISE,IDAHO 83713 switches reset the system.For the Model 600 a separate wall switch will also rewind the system. (208)383-3789 www.smokeguard.com In the event that a® elevator occupant encounters a info(a)smokequard.com deployed Smoke Guard®System,a rewind switch located on both sides of the film can be activated to allow the occupant EVALUATION SUBJECT: to exit from the elevator.The film will redeploy after egress.In the event of loss of power,a force of less than 15 foot-pounds (66 N) is required at the film boundary to push the magnets SMOKE GUARD® SYSTEM—MODELS 200, 400 AND 600 away from the hoistway frame.The systems have air leakage SMOKE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS ratings that do not exceed 3.0 cfm per square foot of opening at 0.1 inch water pressure(25 Pa)difference at both ambient 1.0 EVALUATION SCOPE and elevated temperatures. See Figure 1 of this report for a Compliance with the following codes: typical installation. • 2000 International Building Code®(IBC) 3.2 Components: • 2002 Accumulative Supplement to the International 3.2.1 Film: The film is a minimum 1.0-mil-thick [0.01 inch Codes T"" (0.025 mm)]polyimide plastic sheet with a transparent orange color.A minimum 100 denier filament yarn is factory-adhered • BOCA®National Building Code/1999(BNBC) to the film as reinforcement. • 1999 Standard Building Code®(SBC) 3.2.2 Magnets: Strip magnets, a minimum of 21/2 inches • 1997 Uniform Building Code" (UBC) wide by 1/8 inch thick(65 mm by 3.2 mm),are attached to the vertical edges of the film with continuous beads of silicone Properties evaluated: sealant. The strips utilize a multipole flexible magnet Smoke containment consisting of energized ferrite in a nitrile rubber binder which 2.0 USES exerts a minimum force of 1.4 MGOe. The Smoke Guard® System is a rolling gasketing smoke 3.2.3 Motor:The motors are DC units rated at a minimum containment system used in conjunction with a fire- of 25 inch-pounds (2.8 N-m) at 100 rpm. The units are resistance-rated elevator hoistway door and frame assembly powered by 120 volt AC power. The Model 200 and 400 to provide a smoke and draft control assembly. The system systems use a 90V-DC gear motor and a 90V DC clutch,with is installed over elevator openings that open into a fire- a viscous governor connected to the drive system.The Model resistance-rated corridor, and is intended to be used as an 600 unit uses a 12V-DC gear motor that is connected to the alternative to the requirement for a separated elevator lobby drive pulley. in the applicable code. 3.2.4 Electro/Electronic Drive Control System:The drive 3.0 DESCRIPTION control system, which controls the deployment and rewind functions of the system, is connected to an independent 3.1 General: 120V-AC power source and the auxiliary contacts of the elevator lobby smoke detector.
