 Systemair India
Systemair India (100% owned subsidiary of Systemair AB, Sweden) started operations in 2006. Today the company has
its offices pan India in 9 cities- Noida, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai & Ahmedabad. The
team of 400 dedicated professionals are looking after- sales, technical support, production & logistics.
The company has manufacturing area totaling to 15000 sq mts in its 2 ultra-modern factories located at Greater Noida
& Hyderabad. The strategically located production units manufacture high quality products to support the local market
needs with minimum possible time for delivery.

The Greater Noida factory is a LEED Platinum certified building, with modern laboratories the ATD lab (Air Terminal
Devices) and Acoustic laboratory.

The ATD lab built in compliance with EN & ASHRAE standards boasts of high precise measuring equipments and an inde-
pendent control software to determine air flow patters & velocity profile of air terminal devices.
The Acoustic lab built in compliance with AMCA 210 & AMCA 300 standards uses AMCA nozzles for air flow measure-
ment and AMCA specified pressure taps for pressure drop measurements. The lab can conducts test procedures for max-
imum air flow 45000 Cub. Mt./Hr. with a pressure handling capacity of 3000pa.

 12. Retaining angles:
Retaining angles are mounted on perimeter of damper’s sleeve. The angles shall be made of M.S. material having size
of 40 x 40 x 4 mm. See below picture.

Mounting of retaining angles should be as shown in figure above. Holes of dia. 8.5 mm shall be made in the angles.
The first hole for joining the angles to sleeve shall be made such that it falls at a distance of 20mm from corner of
sleeve. M8 Hex Nut & Bolt (MS Material) should be used to secure the retaining angle with sleeve. Hole to hole pitch
should be equidistant but not exceeding 210 mm.

13.Assembly of Multiple fire dampers:

Method of attaching individual sections together: Two individual sections are attached together using Hex Bolt
M6X20, Hex Nut M6 & Flat washer (as shown in below figures). The holes to join the section together are made at
factory.

5. Use two 3.9x13mm self-drilling screws to secure TRD sensor with sleeve.
6. Mount to Actuator with the help of Actuator mounting plate & self-drilling screw 4.2 X 19mm.Fix Actuator Mount-
ing plate with the help of Self Drilling Screw 3.9 X 13mm.

Note: TRD Sensor will be common for all the actuator(s) connect with the damper.

11. Damper Sleeve & Duct Connection: 14. After-sales service:

It is mandatory that the ducts terminate at sleeves. Continuous ducts over the fire damper are not allowed. Our after-sales service is at your disposal under the following contact details:
Any one of the following Duct – sleeve connection needs to be followed.
