C.   Performance:
1.	Pressure drop:
	************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes:  AMCA International's Certified Ratings Program (CRP) assures that a product line has been tested and rated in conformance with AMCA International's test standards and rating requirements. Their purpose is to give the buyer, specifier, and user of air movement and control equipment assurance that published ratings are reliable and accurate. When specifying dampers make sure the product is licensed to bear AMCA International's Certified Rating Seal for performance.
	************************************************************************************
•	The damper manufacturer's submittal data shall certify that all pressure drop data is licensed in accordance with the AMCA Certified Ratings Program for Test Figures 5.2, 5.3, and 5.5.

D.   Construction:
1.	Frame: 
************************************************************************************
Specifier Note: Improper corner reinforcement and light gauge construction can result in dampers being installed out of square and thusly, impeded operation and diminished life expectancy. Corner reinforcement required by the following specification will significantly minimize these problems.  
To minimize pressure losses across dampers less than 17 in. in height it is desirable to require a low profile frame to maximize the damper free area. The broadest product offering is available in galvanized construction with less expansive offerings allowing 304 and 316 stainless steel. Specifier, select one of the following options:
************************************************************************************

•	Damper frame shall be 16 ga. galvanized steel formed into a 5 in. x 1 in. structural hat channel. Dampers less than 17 in. high shall utilize low profile geometry and 20 ga. galvanized steel for the top and bottom frame members to maximize free area.  Frame shall be 4-piece construction with 1 ½ in. (minimum) integral overlapping gusset reinforcements in each corner to assure square corners and provide maximum resistance to racking. No welding of damper frames shall be permitted (FSD-200 and FSD-300 series).

•	Damper frame shall be 16 ga. 304 stainless steel formed into a 5 in. x 1 in. structural hat channel.  Top and bottom frame members on dampers less than 17 in. high shall be low profile design to maximize the free area of these smaller dampers.  Frame shall be 4-piece construction with 1½ in. (minimum) integral overlapping gusset reinforcements in each corner to assure square corners and provide maximum resistance to racking (SSFSD-200 series).

•	Damper frame shall be 16 ga. 316 stainless steel formed into a 5 in. x 1 in. structural hat channel.  Top and bottom frame members on dampers less than 17 in. high shall be low profile design to maximize the free area of these smaller dampers.  Frame shall be 4-piece construction with 1½ in. (minimum) integral overlapping gusset reinforcements in each corner to assure square corners and provide maximum resistance to racking (SEFSD-200 series).

2.	Blades:
************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: The following requirements for blade construction incorporate a design concept known as VSB (Variable Symmetrical Blades) which ensures symmetry about the blades’ pivot point and of the free areas between blades. Many damper manufacturers utilize only one size of blade, which requires trimming one or more blades to accommodate varying damper heights.  When blades are trimmed they become non-symmetrical resulting in an operating torque profile that will vary significantly with respect to direction of airflow through the damper. Additionally, larger blade stops and seals (top and bottom of damper) are required which further reduces damper free area and increases pressure loss. Maintaining symmetry about blade pivot points and between adjacent blade and frame members helps ensure minimal pressure losses in all flow conditions. Specifier, select one of the following options:
************************************************************************************

•	Damper blades shall be 16 ga. galvanized steel strengthened by three longitudinal 1 in. deep V-grooves running the entire length of each blade.  Each blade shall be symmetrical relative to its axle pivot point, presenting identical performance characteristics with air flowing in either direction through the damper.  Provide symmetrical blades of varying size as required to completely fill the damper opening (FSD-200 series).

•	Damper blades shall be 16 ga. 304 stainless steel strengthened by three longitudinal 1 in. deep V-grooves running the entire length of each blade.  Each blade shall be symmetrical relative to its axle pivot point, presenting identical performance characteristics with air flowing in either direction through the damper.  Provide symmetrical blades of varying size as required to completely fill the damper opening (SSFSD-200 series).

•	Damper blades shall be 16 ga. 316 stainless steel strengthened by three longitudinal 1 in. deep V-grooves running the entire length of each blade.  Each blade shall be symmetrical relative to its axle pivot point, presenting identical performance characteristics with air flowing in either direction through the damper.  Provide symmetrical blades of varying size as required to completely fill the damper opening (SEFSD-200 series).

•	Damper blades shall be of 14 ga. equivalent, galvanized steel with full length structural reinforcement and a double skin true airfoil shape. Each blade shall be symmetrical relative to its axle pivot point, presenting identical performance characteristics with air flowing in either direction through the damper. Provide symmetrical blades of varying size as required to completely fill the damper opening (FSD-300 series). 

3.	Seals:
a.	Blade Edge:  Blade seals shall be extruded silicone rubber mechanically secured to the appropriate blade edges.
b.	Jamb: Flexible stainless steel compression type

4.	Linkage:
************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes:  Concealing the blade linkages in the jamb of the damper frame reduces pressure drop across the damper and results in less maintenance than linkages exposed to airflow. Additionally, a precision engineered non-adjustable linkage system ensures that catalogued performance via precise blade positioning is maintained throughout the life of the damper while also eliminating the need for maintenance and the potential of poor performance due to improper adjustment. 
************************************************************************************
Blade linkages shall be non-adjustable and concealed within the jamb of the damper. 

5.	Axles:  
•	Minimum ½ inch dia. zinc plated steel
•	Minimum ½ inch dia. 316 stainless steel (SEFSD-211 and SSFSD-211)

6.	Sleeves:  Damper shall be supplied as a single assembly with a factory installed sleeve made of material matching that of the damper.

7.	Fire Closure Device:
************************************************************************************
Specifier Notes: The fire closure device is linked to the actuator to move the damper to its open or closed position in response to signals from the building control system, fire alarm system, smoke alarm system, or the electric heat responsive sensing device on the damper itself. Fire Closure Device options available are:
  
Fusible link – mechanically holds the damper open under normal conditions but severs when its rated temperature is met allowing spring force to close the damper.

RRL (Reusable Resettable Link), an electric heat-responsive device standard on any combination fire-smoke damper that performs the same function as a fusible link. An RRL can be reset, eliminating the need to replace a fusible link. 

RRL/OCI (Reusable Resettable Link with Open & Closed Indicator) – performs the function of RRL with an OCI that is linked to a damper blade to indicate whether the damper blade is open or close when used in conjunction with remote indicator lights.

The TOR (Temperature Limited Override) – incorporates two electric sensing devices (thermostats) with fixed settings (most often 165° F and 350° F, respectively) and eliminates the fusible link entirely. Typically used in engineered smoke control systems, the TOR is configured with two closure temperatures. The damper will initially close when the set point of the primary sensor (165° F setting standard; 212° F optional) is met. The primary sensor can then be bypassed by an external electrical signal allowing the damper to reopen and remain open until the temperature reaches the setting of the secondary sensor (usually 350° F depending on the actuator). When the temperature of the secondary sensor is exceeded, the damper closes until manually reset.

Specifier, select one of the following options:
	************************************************************************************
•	Dampers shall be supplied with RRL.
•	Dampers shall be supplied with RRL/OCI.
•	Dampers shall be supplied with TOR.
