An optional braking system is available to allow a stage descent during deployment. Partial descent to a predetermined level to permit preliminary escape and initial smoke containment, after delay the barrier descends to full operational position.

FireSafe 60
FireSafe 60 has fixing options to suit all types of ceiling configurations and can be integrated into either a suspended or a solid ceiling. It remains hidden until required. Upon receiving a signal from the fire detection system or on loss of power the Automatic Fire Barrier unwinds to its fire operational position by gravity.
FireSafe 60 can be provided to protect opening widths of up to 6m and heights up to 6.6m. Engineering Assessments on the FireSafe 60 allows for smaller depth of side guides.

The Firesafe60 system
The FireSafe 60 is an electrically operated Automatic Fire Barrier to be used to form a barrier against fire.
The system was subjected to a fire-resistance test achieving a performance level of 60 minutes to BS 476-22:1987 in accordance with BS 476-20:1987.
The curtain fabric is made from filament glass fibre, treated with proprietary finish to enhance temperatures resistance. Both sides of the fabric are coated with a flame-retardant silver-grey aluminium filled polymer.
The fabric weight is approx. 450g/m² with a nominal thickness of 0.4mm.
The fabric has been independently tested for reaction to fire in accordance with BS 476 6:1989 and BS 476 7:1997 to achieve Class 0.
Features

- Option to be fully recessed into walls and ceilings

Independent Testing
Over a number of years Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd. have invested heavily in
new production techniques and innovative developments. Although development
work and fire testing certification can be a very long and very expensive
process we continue to develop new fire curtain systems in order to improve
and develop further our own systems in design. In 2019 we were recognised
for our innovation and were winners of the Leicester Mercury Business Awards
collecting the Freeth’s Award for Excellence in Science and Technology.

Optional Extras

Emergency Override Button
Hold on retract facility for escape and emergency service access.
-
Audio Visual Alarms
Flashing lights and sirens are connected to the control panel and provide a warning when the curtain is about to descend. When the fire alarm goes off and the fire curtain descends the beacon will flash and a sounder will go off until the signal from the alarm is lost. Please note that when used in isolation the audio visual unit does not stop the fire curtain descending or retract the curtain.
-
Beam Sensor
A beam sensor by itself can be used as either a block sensor or an override; when the fire alarm goes off and someone passes through the barrier the beam sensor can be wired to either stop the barrier in its tracks or to retract the barrier.
Please note that when used in isolation the beam sensor does not trigger a sound. -
Delay on Alarm
The system control can be programmed to allow a time delay on the alarm for a number of minutes before the barrier descends to its fire operational position.
