Generally by auto solenoid release, linked to the fire alarm. The solenoid requires a 24 Volt DC, 0.55 Amps signal. This is the most commonly used method of activation, allowing for frequent testing and re-setting. When the shutter is returned to the open position (after removal of the fire signal), the solenoid can be automatically reset. A fusible link or localised smoke/heat detector (see back page for details) can be used as back-up to activate the shutter, or as an alternative if no fire alarm signal is available.
Obviously a fire alarm cannot activated to close or cover a fire exit area.
Galvanised self colour finish with one coat of primer paint on end plates, angles and barrel; can be polyester powder coated to any RAL or standard BS4800 colour.
