Electrically controlled hold-open systems for fire and smoke control barriers function and operation

 

If fire/smokeproof closures intended to be kept closed a fire event are to be held open for easing daily business, they must be equipped with electrically controlled hold-open systems. These shut protective doors immediately + safely in case of fire, preventing the spread of flames and smoke. They protect human lives and expensive goods as well as the buildings themselves – making them an important part of safety concepts.

An electrically controlled hold-open system consists at least of an arrest, release, power supply and fire detector. The high quality standard of the EN 54 series for fire detection systems with well designed tests tailored to the specific requirements has also been implemented for electrically controlled HOS on fire and smoke barriers via the European standard EN 14637:2007.
