2 Safety and Intended Use
General safety information
Only qualified personnel may carry out the work
described on the smoke extraction device. Only
electricians may work on the electrical
components.
For installation, electrical connection and
maintenance, sufficient space must be provided for
unimpeded operation at the smoke extraction
device.
Standards and guidelines
During all work on the smoke extraction device
u.a. to observe the following regulations and
guidelines:
• Geräte- und Produktsicherheitsgesetz
• Ordinance on Industrial Safety
• Building regulations
• Accident Prevention Regulations (BGV A1, BGV A3)
• Maintenance standards DIN 31051 and
EN 13306
• All other relevant standards and regulations for fire
protection
Repair and replacement parts
The smoke detector RM-O-3-D is a safety
component specially developed for fire protection
in ventilation systems. To maintain the function,
only original TROX replacement parts may be
used for repair.
Notes on environmental protection
To protect the environment, please pay attention
to the following points:
• The packaging of the smoke detector must be
disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
• The smoke detector must be properly disposed of
by an authorized body after it has been taken out of
service.
• Electronic components must be disposed of in
accordance with national electronic scrap
regulations.
Intended Use
The smoke detector RM-O-3-D is used to control
and trigger fire or smoke dampers to prevent the
transmission of fire and smoke through the air
duct.
In addition, the smoke extraction device can be
used to shut down the fan of the ventilation
system.
The fire or smoke damper must be equipped with
an electric spring return actuator or a holding
magnet or a solenoid valve.
The operation of the smoke extraction device is
only permitted under consideration of the general
and special provisions of the general building
inspectorate approval Z-78.3-125. In addition,
the installation instructions and the technical data
of these operating and assembly instructions
must be observed.
Illegal use
The smoke detector must not be used under the
following conditions:
• Use in ventilation systems of commercial
kitchens (general kitchen exhaust air)
• Use inEx-Zones.
• Outdoor use without adequate protection
against weather conditions.
• Use in ventilation systems where the function
is hindered by heavy soiling, extreme humidity
or chemical contamination
• Use in installation situations in which an
inspection, maintenance or functional test
when installed is not possible.
Changes to the smoke detector and the use of
spare parts that are not approved by TROX are
not permitted.
Residual risks
TROX smoke detectors are subject to strict quality
controls during manufacture. In addition, a
functional test is carried out before delivery.
Damage during transport or installation may impair
the function. The proper function of the smoke
detection device must be checked during
commissioning and ensured in the course of
further operation by recurring maintenance
measures.
