    Safety notes
                                               •	 The device must not be used outside the specified field of application, especially not
                                      !           in aircraft or in any other airborne means of transport.
                                               •	 The actuator is adapted and installed on the fire and smoke damper by the damper
                                                  manufacturer. For this reason, the actuator is only supplied directly to safety damper
                                                  manufacturers. The manufacturer then bears full responsibility for the proper
                                                  functioning of the damper.
                                               •	 The two switches integrated in the actuator are to be operated either on power
                                                  supply voltage or at safety extra-low voltage. The combination power supply voltage/
                                                  safety extra-low voltage is not permitted.
                                               •	 Cables must not be removed from the device.
                                               •	 The device may only be opened at the manufacturer’s site. It does not contain any
                                                  parts that can be replaced or repaired by the user.
                                               •	 The device contains electrical and electronic components and must not be disposed
                                                  of as household refuse. All locally valid regulations and requirements must be
                                                  observed.
    Product features
                         Mode of operation     The actuator moves the damper to the operating position at the same time as
                                               tensioning the return spring. The damper is turned back to the safety position by spring
                                               energy when the supply voltage is interrupted.
                       Safety Position Lock    The Safety Position Lock™ reliably holds the fire damper in the safety position in case
                                               of fire therefor ensuring maximum safety. The technical solution for this function of the
                                               BFL and BFN actuators has a patent pending.
            Thermoelectric tripping device     Complies with the specific requirements of the standard ISO 10294-4.
                                               BAT: If the ambient temperature of 72°C is exceeded, then the duct outside
                                               temperature fuse will respond. If the duct inside temperature of 72°C is exceeded,
                                               then the duct inside temperature fuse will respond. When one of the thermal fuses
                                               responds, the supply voltage is interrupted permanently and irreversibly.
                                               The LED is on when
                                               - supply voltage is available
                                               - the thermal fuses are OK and
                                               - the test switch is not pressed.
                                               Note: The function of the thermal fuses and the control key is only warranted if the
                                               actuator is connected to the supply voltage (LED on).
                                 Signalling    Two microswitches with fixed settings are installed in the actuator for indicating the
                                               damper end positions. The electrical contacts of these microswitches are equipped
                                               with a gold/silver coating that permits integration both in circuits with low currents
                                               (mA range) and in ones with larger-sized currents (A range) in accordance with the
                                               specifications in the data sheet. It should be noted with this application however that
                                               the contacts can no longer be used in the milliampere range after larger currents have
                                               been applied to them, even if this has taken place only once.
                                               The position of the damper blade can be read off on a mechanical position indication.
                          Manual operation     Without power supply, the actuator can be operated manually and fixed in any required
                                               position. It can be unlocked manually or automatically by applying the supply voltage.
                   Standards / regulations     The design of the actuator is based on the specific requirements from the European
                                               standards:
                                               - EN 15650 Ventilation for buildings – Fire dampers
                                               - EN 1366-2 Fire resistance tests on service installations
                                               (Part 2: Fire dampers)
                                               - EN 13501-3 Fire classification of construction products and building elements
                                               (Part 3: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements
                                               used in building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers)
          Recommendation for application       Regular operational checks (open-close control of the fire damper) enhance the
                                               safety of people, animals, property and the environment. Unless other requirements
                                               are stipulated – e. g. in the damper manufacturer’s operating instructions – Belimo
                                               recommends the performance of monthly operational checks. Fire damper actuators
                                               from Belimo are designed in accordance with service life specifications contained in
                                               the technical data sheet for regular operational checks. Notes for regular operational
                                               checks can be found in the European Product Standard for Fire Dampers (EN 15650)
