  • Page 14: Installing The Auxiliary Rails

    Installing the Auxiliary Rails When the unit deploys, the smoke containment screen unrolls out of the housing to the floor. Flexible magnets along the edges of the screen seal the elevator opening by rolling down and adhering to either the elevator frame or to auxiliary rails. Use auxiliary rails if the elevator frame is: °...

    Attaching the Extension Springs (Model 400 only) When Smoke Guard ships Model 400 units, the door closer extension springs are not attached to the door in their operating position. This allows you to remove the screen from the housing safely.This point in the installation process is ideal for fastening the springs to the door.

  • Page 17: Installing The Screen

    Installing the Screen Installing the screen involves the following tasks: ° Attach J-clips: Magnetic screen setting brackets, called J-clips, attach to the rails or frame. ° Set the screen: Support the screen with the J-clips while you secure the top bar inside the housing.
  • Page 18 To set the screen: 1. Lift the screen onto the J-clips so the screen unrolls from the back of the roll. 2. Remove the nut from the center stud. 3. Lift the top bar of the screen to unroll it up into the housing far enough to fit its center hole over the center stud and reattach the nut.
  • Page 19 To attach the threshold cables: 1. Remove the tape holding the cable wraps on the drive pulleys in the housing. 2. Unwind enough cable to reach the threshold spools. 3. Work each cable through the slot in its threshold spool and pull the cables up, lodging the crimp beads snugly in the holes: 4.
  • Page 20 To attach the uplimit switch: 1. Cut the zip ties holding the uplimit switch in its shipping position. 2. Fasten the uplimit to its bracket on the left side of the lower, front support bar.
  • Page 21 To anchor the screen in place: Prior to anchoring the screen in the housing, verify that it is positioned correctly. NOTE: In the following steps, use the screen rewind switch (temporarily zip-tied to the housing) to engage the motor. This rewinds the screen into the housing where it sits for a few seconds before redeploying.

  • Page 22: Installing The Screen Rewind Switch

    Installing the Screen Rewind Switch The screen rewind switch initiates a temporary roll-up of a deployed screen, allowing someone to move through the opening. The screen then unwinds to the fully deployed position if the smoke detector is still in alarm. During shipping, the two sides of the switch are banded together and the wire that connects the switch to the housing is attached to the inside of the housing.

    Final Testing The final testing of the system verifies that the screen deploys when the smoke detector is in alarm mode. NOTE: In most instances, setting off a smoke detector sends the elevator into fire service. PRIOR TO CONDUCTING THE TEST, contact the elevator representative for procedures required to restore normal service.
