AXS 140 IOM MANUAL

Using aNSHEV

2.1

How itworks

Air moves through an open NSHEV as a result of the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the

building. This pressure difference is a result of thermal buoyancy, convection, wind pressure or mechanical ventilation.

The direction of the airflowandalso its speed depends onthe prevailing conditions and can change while the NSHEV is being

used.

2.2 Smoke control ventilation

Opening and closing with M1B24 –electric control channel

The flap is moved by one 24 V

electric actuator. The flap moves to its open position, opening angle ~140°. The flap is closed

using a 24 V

electric actuator.

2.3

Day-to-dayventilation

Day-to-day ventilation with M1B24–electric control channel

The electric actuator used for day-to-day ventilation is identical to the electric actuator for the smoke control function,

the flap will open completely to its SHEV position of 140°. In this instance it is recommended that the ventilator is not

opened for day to day ventilation in high winds, otherwise damage to the unit may occur. Further, without a rain sensor

override, rain entry may occur if the ventilator is left open.

2.4

Acceptableapplications

The NSHEV is suited as a roof ventilator for industrial, commercial, residential and public buildings to provide:

•

Smoke control and exhaust ventilation.

•

Day-to-day ventilation. Not in high winds or without rain sensor.

•

Providing an access route from inside the building to the roof.

•

Allowing the movement of building components, machines or similar objects onto or off from the roof, within size

limits.

•

Daylight entry with polycarbonate lid option.

AXS 140 IOM MANUAL

2.5

Improper use

Such NSHEV may only be used in the manner described on these pages. In particular they are:

•

Not suitable for use in places where there is likely to be an explosion.

•

Not suitable for use in extreme conditions (for instance where there is high condensation, very high temperature

or corrosive substances within the air stream).

•

Not suited to being walked upon.

•

The maximum installation height depends on local wind load conditions. For further information, please contact

your Colt representative.

Essential safety information

Itisessentialto takenoteofthese basic warning signs. There are additional warnings given within other pages of thismanual.

󱛻󱛼󱛽

WARNING

Danger of flaps breaking when they are trodden upon

•

Do not walk on a NSHEV since the flaps are not designed for such loads and can

break.The dangerofthis canariseparticularlyif therehasbeensnoworiftheNSHEV

isvery dirty orif the visibility is poor and as a result the safety labels are not clearly

visible. If someone falls through the unit, this can lead to injury or death as well as

damage to property

•

It is important to inform all those who have access to the roof about the danger

of falling through such a unit, particularly when it is snowing, when the roof is dirty

orwhenvisibility is poor.

󱛻󱛼󱛽

WARNING

Injury as a result of the height of the installed ventilators

•

Persons working on the unit at height need to avoid the possibility of tools or unit

components dropping. If this is not observed, there can be fatal consequences.

Those working at height should always observe all applicable health and safety

regulations. Those who are installing or working on a NSHEV need to be qualified

and trainedsuitably.

•

The optional associated components are not stable enough to be used as

positions to fix safety harnesses to, which would have the purpose of stopping

people from falling off buildings. If this is not observed, there can be fatal

consequences.

󱛻󱛼󱛽

WARNING

Risks related to unsuitable positioning of the ventilator

•

Ifit isinstalledonto anunsuitable roof there isa riskof collapse caused byitsweight,

among other things. If this is not observed, there can befatal consequences. Before

installation the engineering calculations must be checked in accordance with

applicable rules, to check whether the roof is suitable for installation of theNSHEV.

•

A NSHEV is designed for extract ventilation and may not to be used for inlet air unless

the ventilator position and operation are considered carefully. Polluted air or exhaust

gas can harm people within the building.

AXS 140 IOM MANUAL

󱛻󱛼󱛽

WARNING

Risk of smoke not being vented from the building

If the unit is not appropriately installed or commissioned, it is possible that the

NSHEV will not function as a smoke ventilator in the case of fire. This can lead

to damage, injury or death.

Such NSHEV need to be installed by trained personnel and commissioned

appropriately. If there are any malfunctions or if people are working on the

NSHEV, appropriate measures need to be taken to remedy them. The NSHEV

must be regularly inspected, maintained and if necessary, repaired.

󱛻󱛼󱛽

CAUTION

Unexpected opening or closing of the flaps

•

It is possible to trap a part of the body between the flap if it opens or closes unexpectedly

whilst working on a NSHEV.

•

When working on a NSHEV it is necessary to ensure that the control system cannot be

accessed and the ventilator cannot be opened or closed in an unexpected manner. It is

also important to keep in mind that the smoke exhaust and ventilation control function

canopen theunitunexpectedly.ThosewhoareinstallingorworkingonaNSHEVneedtobe

qualified and trained suitably.

󱛻󱛼󱛽

CAUTION

Damage as a result of rain ingress through open flaps or damaged

seals

•

If a ventilator is left open when it rains or if seals are damaged, water can enter the

building and can damage the ventilator mechanism. Water can result in damage

to property or injury to persons.

•

Clear any water and check if the flap closes correctly when there is rainfall.

Damaged seals or flaps need to be replaced in a timely fashion.

󱛻󱛼󱛽

CAUTION

Danger as a result of high weight

•

The product identification (PID) label shows the unit's weight. The PID label is affixed

to the outside of the unit.

•

The unit’s weight can lead to injury or damage if the unit is not correctly handled.

•
