AcousticMAXTM Smoke Vent

Model(s): SVX/SVY

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Acoustical smoke vents are designed to open automatically to provide

emergency smoke and heat ventilation. Prompt venting in case of fire

is essential for the safe evacuation of occupants and for effective fire-

fighting conditions within a building. The smoke vent is not intended

for use as general-purpose building ventilation devices. International

Building Code (IBC) requires smoke venting in a variety of applications

including; Section 410 for stages and platforms, Section 910 for factory

and storage occupancies.

Acoustical smoke vents are primarily used in theaters and performing arts centers because they block the

intrusion of exterior environmental noise. Acoustical smoke vents provide both sound control and thermal

performance The BSVX and BSVY is sound rated STC48/OITC 36 and the SVY is rated STC50/OITC 39.

The STC50 provides ultimate sound control and a total R-14 thermal resistance for superior thermal

performance. The STC50 sound rated series meets International Building Code IBC 1207 sound transmission

class requirements and is used in high end theater applications as well as in building applications where

condensation is a concern.

Sound transmission is tested by an independent lab accredited by the U.S. Department of Commerce and

the National Institute of Standards and Technology for conducting official acoustical test procedures for

sound transmission class (STC) and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) according to the following

tests;

•ASTM E90 Laboratory Measurement of Airborne Sound Transmission of Building Partitions

•ASTM E1332 Standard Classification for Determination of Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class

Introduction + Safety

Please read the complete instructions carefully before beginning any work. To ensure proper

installation and performance of the roof hatch the following actions must be completed by the

installing contractor. Failure to do so will affect product warranty.

Transportation + Storage

oInspect all shipments and materials for missing or damaged components and hardware.

oMaterial must be stored in a clean, dry location.

INSTALLATION

The following is a general instruction for installing, operating and maintaining smoke vent products. These

are recommended general guidelines only. Locally accepted roofing and sealing practices and procedures

should be followed as appropriate for the different roofing systems. This product may be installed on a

flat or sloping roof. When installed on a slope up to 7:12 pitch (30˚), the hinge side must run parallel with

the slope. CAUTION: smoke vent doors are under spring pressure.

1. Ensure that the roof mounting surface is level to avoid twisting of the smoke vent base. It is essential

that the vents are installed level and square for the door to make a proper seal. Place the smoke vent

over the existing opening in the roof that has been prepared with appropriate roofing membrane, if

applicable.

a. The roof rough opening dimensions are equal to the vent dimensions as measure from the

inside curb to inside curb. For example, a 48” x 96” smoke vent will have a roof rough opening

of 48” by 96”.

2. The smoke vent curb flange comes with two (2) types of mounting holes to accommodate the

following fastening methods

a. Mark the pre-drilled 5/8” diameter holes from the mounting flange through to the roof deck or

a concrete curb. Drill roof deck or concrete curb for installation of anchors or other fasteners

(provided by others). Bolt or otherwise fasten roof hatch curb flange to roof deck using 3/8” or

½” bolts with washers.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Improper selection, installation, or use can cause personal injury or property damage. It

is solely the responsibility of the user, through its own analysis to select products suitable for their specific application

requirements, ensure they are properly maintained, and limit their use to its intended purpose. Follow proper local,

state and federal regulations for proper installation and operation requirements.

b. Mark the pre-drilled 3/16” diameter holes from the mounting flange through to the roof deck,

typically into a built-up wood fame curb. Fasten roof hatch curb flange to faming using roofing

nails and/or screws, recommended size #10 by 1-1/4” long.

3. Install roofing material up to and around the roof curb, up under the counterflashing, using

appropriate roofing material and locally accepted processes. Ensure all joints are fully sealed to provide

a weather tight seal.

4. Finally, check operation by opening the smoke vent doors by pulling the exterior manual pull handle.

Closing the doors may require two people to ensure proper latch engagement.

OPERATION

•Vents are designed and built for years of dependable service. Smoke vents do not require field

painting. If field painted, all component parts must be masked, especially moving parts and all labels.

Field painted component parts will void the warranty.

•Latch: Positive hold rotary latches are designed to hold the covers closed.

•Gas Spring/Damper: Provides force to automatically open covers.

•Hold Open Arm: Automatic hold open arm engages to keep doors locked open when released.

Pull the redPolypropylene grip handle forward to disengage, while safely closing the door(s).

•Link: Fusible melt out links are replaceable (SV-KIT-LINK-165, SV-KIT-LINK-280, etc.)

Smoke vents are designed to open manually via pull handles located on the exterior and interior of the

smoke vent. The internal pull cable can be extended and rigged down to the floor level to assist with

emergency vent opening.

1. Smoke vents are designed to open thermally when a UL listed fusible link melts at temperatures of

165˚F, 212˚F, 280˚F, 350˚F, 360˚F, 370˚F, 386˚F or 450˚F. Fusible links are easily accessed from the roof

for replacement, as detailed.

2. OPTION: Electrical Belimo Actuator

Smoke vents can include an option to open electrically with a

low voltage (24VDC/AC) or High Voltage (110VAC/220VAC) at

2.5Watt signal. The electrical option is ideal to coordinate vent

opening with a fire alarm, smoke detector, sprinkler system or

other.

Smoke vent covers are closed manually from the exterior roof top

level. Make sure to disengage the hold open arm prior to closing

the doors.

Acceptance Testing

An acceptance performance test and inspection of all vents shall be conducted immediately following

installation to establish that all operating mechanism functions properly. Vents should be operated in

accordance with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Test for proper operation using one or more of the following methods.

1. Manual pull handles: Pull the manual pull handle from the exterior of the smoke vent. Pull the

internal manual pull handle, if it has been routed down to the floor level.

2. Fusible link: Melt the fusible link from the inside at the smoke vent level using a hand-held propane

tank torch. Make sure to have replaceable fusible links on hand in order to reset the latch and close

the doors. An alternative method is to remove the fusible link to simulate melting to verify that the

smoke vent would indeed open.

3. Optional electrical Belimo actuator: Send an electrical signal from the fire alarm, push button control,

or other to validate electrical fire system performance.

MAINTENANCE

•Vents should be manually operated once a year to inspect, maintain and replace components as

necessary.

•Inspect fusible links for evidence of corrosion, stress/strain or build up. Clean or replace as required.

•Non-moving parts can be cleaned with a mild soap or dishwashing detergent and water solution.

•Gaskets can be cleaned with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not apply mineral oils, vinyl dressings, or

other lubricants to the gasket as they can cause the gasket to break down over time.

Fusible link ambient temperature rating

The fusible link should be specified with a temperature rating greater than the maximum ambient

exposure temperature that will be seen at the installation. For example, an “ordinary” fusible link rated at

165 degrees F has a maximum ambient exposure temperature rating of 100 degrees F. If this fusible link is

routinely exposed to ambient temperatures over 100 degrees F, it is liable to separate. Select a fusible link

rated at 212 degrees F (or greater) for this type of application. See table below to find a fusible link

temperature range compatible with an expected or measured ambient temperature. This is in accordance

with UL guidelines.

5. Open the smoke vent by pulling the interior manual release (now rigged to a location near the floor

winch) and unwind the manual winch to the fully open position.

6. Place the lever on the floor winch in the downward position

and tie the 1/16” HOA cable to the HOA tie off point of the

lever. Ensure the cable is taught. (IMPORTANT : this cable is

require to disengage the hold open arms, if it is not installed

prior to closing the smoke vent with the manual winch the

unit will be damaged during the operation, UL 793 requires

the inclusion of the hold open arms as the doors are required

to lock into the open position)

Figure B – HOA Tie-off Point

7. To ensure the HOA cable was correctly fastened, with the lever in the downward position, wind the

winch slowly to begin closing the doors. If the doors close the HOA cable has been properly secured. If

the doors only close slightly and the force required to wind the winch increase greatly the HOA cable

has not been secured tight enough and the operator should cease winding as continued operation

could result in damage to the unit. If the HOA cable has not been secured tight enough, detach and

reattach it tighter than it was previously.

8. Once the HOA cable has been confirmed to be securely fashioned the smoke vent can be winched

close and the installation of the Manual Winch option is complete.

OVERVIEW

Smoke vents with linear actuators are designed to conveniently open and close smoke vents remotely with a

push button controller. The system is comprised of linear actuators (one per cover), a control box mounted

to the inside of the smoke vent curb, a 2 position (open, close) push button station and door position

sensors.

These smoke vents are also designed to open automatically without power in the event of a fire emergency.

Smoke vents open thermally when heat parts a fusible link and they also open manually with both internal

and external manual pull handles.
