2 Safety and correct use
General information regarding safety
Only specialist personnel are allowed to perform
the described work on the duct smoke detector.
Only skilled qualified electricians are allowed to
work on the electrical system.
The installation location must be easily accessible
and have sufficient clearance for electrical connec-
tion and maintenance of the duct smoke detector
Standards and guidelines
Compliance with the following regulations and
guidelines is required for any job performed on the
duct smoke detector:
• Equipment and Product Safety Laws
•Industrial Health and Safety Regulation
•Building regulations
• Accident Prevention Regulations (BGV A1, BGV
A3)
•Maintenance standards DIN 31051 and
EN 13306
•DIN 14675
•Any additional related fire protection standards
and regulations
Repair and replacement parts
The RM-O-3-D duct smoke detector is a safety
related product that has been especially devel-
oped for the fire protection in ventilation systems.
To maintain the function, use only original TROX
replacement parts.
Environmental protection
To protect the environment keep the following in
mind:
• Dispose of packaging in an environmentally
sound manner.
• After final decommissioning, have the duct
smoke detector disposed of by an authorised
company.
•Dispose of electronic components according to
the local electronic waste regulations.
Correct use
The RM-O-3-D duct smoke detector is used to sig-
nal to and release fire dampers and smoke
protection dampers to prevent fire and smoke from
spreading through ducting.
The duct smoke detector can also be used to
switch off fans in a ventilation system.
Fire dampers or smoke protection dampers must
be fitted with an electric spring return actuator, an
electromagnet or a solenoid valve.
The duct smoke detector must only be used in
compliance with general building inspectorate li-
cence Z-78.6-125. The installation details and the
technical data in this manual also apply.
Incorrect use
The following applications are not allowed:
• Use in extract air systems in commercial kitchens
(kitchen extract air in general)
•Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
•Use outdoors without sufficient protection
against the effects of weather
• Use in ventilation systems in which high levels of
dust and pollution, extreme humidity, or chemical
contamination impair the function of the product.
•Installation in a way that prevents inspection,
cleaning or testing.
Modifying the duct smoke detector or using re-
placement parts that have not been approved by
TROX is not permitted.
Residual risks
TROX products are subject to strict quality controls
during manufacturing. In addition, a functional test
is performed before shipping.
Damage can, however, occur during transport or
installation and impair the function of a product.
In any case, the proper function of the duct smoke
detector must be checked during commissioning
and ensured through regular maintenance while in
use.
