1. Operation
Manual - Activation of the smoke control system occurs as a result
of the intervention of an authorized person.
Automatic - Activation of the smoke control system occurs as a
result of an alarm condition from a fire detection device, such as a
smoke detector or a heat detector, or fire alarm control unit.
2. Type
Non-dedicated - A system which provides the building HVAC
function under normal conditions and provides a smoke control
objective during a fire alarm condition.
Dedicated - A system which is normally inactive and is used
exclusively for the purpose of smoke control.
3. Use
Stairwell - Configuration of equipment which provides pressurizing
of stairwells for the purpose of maintaining a tenable environment
for building egress.
Zoned Smoke Control - A configuration which provides the
exhausting of the smoke area and pressurization of all other
contiguous areas of the building.
The design of an overall smoke control system is a complete system
engineered to the particular installation. The interconnection of the
smoke control equipment to the HVAC equipment, and to other
equipment, is intended to be in accordance with a specific installation
diagram that is generated by either the smoke control equipment listee
or by another responsible party.
In practice, Schneider Electric, as a UL Smoke Control Equipment
Listee, and its associated field offices do not design the smoke control
system. Rather, the field office works closely with the smoke control
system designer to develop the interface between the controls and
equipment supplied by Schneider Electric and the mechanical
equipment that provides smoke control pressurization. The field office
then generates the control system installation diagrams based on the
total smoke control system design.

activate the system. These systems also rely on a water supply, such as
sprinklers, whereas smoke control systems usually rely on electricity to
run fans and dampers.
The smoke-control system is usually separate from the fire control
system since they have different goals. However, the smoke-control
system should be designed to work with the fire control system and not
interfere with its operation. For example, if the building has a
sprinkler system, then the smoke-control system does not need to
control a large quantity of smoke, since the size of any fire should be
smaller.
Moreover, if a smoke-control system is working with a gas-based fire
extinguisher, certain actions must be taken. If the smoke-control
system tried to vent a room with a gas-based fire extinguishing system,
it would probably vent the smoke along with the fire suppressing gas.
Removing the gas lets the fire continue burning. Therefore, gas-based
fire extinguishers and smoke-control systems should not be active at
the same time in the same area.
Smoke-control systems receive the location of the fire from the fire
panel. The fire panel uses a combination of smoke and heat sensors to
determine where the fire is located. In the event that signals are
received from more than one smoke zone, the smoke-control system
should continue automatic operation in the mode determined by the
first signal received.
23
Chapter 1: Introduction
Note: Recent trends have indicated areas of refuge are being designed
into many buildings as dictated by the Americans for
Disabilities Act (ADA). Specifications may refer to these areas of
refuge which are typically located adjacent to stairwells or
elevator hoistways. These refuge zones may require special
pressure compensated systems in order to maintain a tenable
environment. The requirements for these systems must be
dictated by the buildings smoke-control system designer based
on the smoke-control system design and its associated sequence
of operation. When these types of zones are encountered,
additional time and resources may be required to establish and
verify compliance to the specifications.
Shaft Protection
Stairwell Pressurization Systems
Stair towers are stairwells with a ventilation system and are isolated
from the main building. Stair towers are the most common type of
dedicated smoke control system. The only connection between the
building and the stair tower is the fire-rated doors on each floor. Since
24 Schneider Electric
Chapter 1: Introduction
the buildings occupants should use the stair tower to leave during an
evacuation, keeping the stair tower smoke free is vital. The following
image depicts the various parts of a stair tower system.

Chapter 1: Introduction
26 Schneider Electric
Chapter 1: Introduction
Floor Protection
Zoned Smoke Control
Pressurized stairwells, discussed above, are intended to control smoke
to the extent that they inhibit smoke infiltration into the stairwell.
However, in a building with just a pressurized stairwell, smoke can
flow through cracks in floors and partitions and through other shafts to
threaten life or damage property at locations remote from the fire. The
concept of zoned smoke control...is intended to limit this type of smoke
movement from within a building.
With zoned smoke control, smoke movement is inhibited by dividing
the building into smoke-control zones, with each zone separated from
the others by smoke barriers. These smoke barriers can be partitions,
floors, or doors that can be closed. When a fire occurs in one of these
smoke-control zones, it is called a smoke zone. In the event of a fire,
pressure differences and airflows produced by mechanical fans and
operating dampers can be used to limit the smoke to the zone in which
the fire originated. When a fire/smoke condition occurs, all of the
nonsmoke zones that are contiguous to the smoke zone are positively
pressurized and the smoke zone is negatively pressurized. Optionally,
all of the remaining smoke-control zones in the building may also be
positively pressurized. With the smoke contained to the smoke zone, it
can then be exhausted. Typically, the fire/smoke signals from a
protective signaling system (UOJZ, a UL 864 Listed Fire Alarm
Control Unit; i.e. fire alarm panel) are used to activate the zoned
smoke-control sequence.
27
Chapter 1: Introduction
Response Time
Smoke control system activation should be started immediately after
receiving an activation command. A maximum of 10 seconds
transmission time is allowed, from the initiation of an activation signal
(i.e. fire alarm input), to the time it reaches the Continuum BACnet
smoke control system. The smoke-control sequence should activate
individual component starts from the moment the smoke-control
command is issued (whether automatic or manual) to the final action.
This time is 60 seconds for fan operation at the desired state and 75
seconds for the completion of the damper travel. Should an individual
component fail, the time lapse from the moment the component should
have reached its final state and the moment its associated trouble
signal annunciates, should not exceed 10 seconds. This means that the
annunciation of the trouble signal for a fan must occur within 70
seconds of the automatic or manual activation command. The
annunciation of the damper trouble signal must occur within 85
seconds of the automatic or manual activation command.
The table below outlines the progammable software features and the
settings permitted in UL 864. In order for the product to comply with
the requirements in the Standards for Control Units and Accessories

Features
The FSCS should contain a building diagram that clearly indicates the
type and location of all smoke control equipment, and the areas served
by the equipment (smoke control zones). Since the FSCS uses a
graphical depiction of the building, each one will be unique and must be
custom made.
The graphic must show all fans in excess of 2000 CFM, all dampers or
groups of VAV boxes, and all major ducts and how the ducts are
connected together. It must also provide a clear indication of the
direction of airflow in the ducts.
If the graphic is too large to fit on a single panel, multiple panels may
be used.
39
Fire Panel
The Simplex Grinnell 4100U Fire Panel connects to all of the smoke
detectors, fire detectors, manual pull boxes, fire alarms, etc. within the
building. When one of the Fire Panel sensors detects a problem, the

Restrictions and General
Comments
Introduction
This chapter lists restrictions associated with the application of
Continuum controllers to UL 864 smoke control systems. These
restrictions take precedence of existing Continuum literature and are
required to meet the UL 864 Listing. This chapter also includes general
comments that may provide additional insight or flexibility during the
engineering process.
The following sections are included in this chapter:

System Overrides
Overrides that Require Removal
If a person with manager-level (programmer-level) access overrides any
values or functions in the Continuum BACnet controllers, in a manner
that impedes the automatic smoke control functions or interferes with
the FSCSs absolutely highest priority control over the system, then the
overrides must be removed before the system is returned to normal
operation. This rule always applies, whether the purpose of the
override is for troubleshooting, service, programming, or temporary
control.
Approved FSCS
Only the ADI FSCS can be used with the BACnet smoke control
system.
75
Transformers
Only transformers listed in Chapter 7 Transformerscan be used with
NetController II (CX9680-S) controllers that directly take part in
smoke control operation. Certain transformers must be mounted in
enclosures to meet UL 864 requirements.
Wiring
The ADI FSCS interface wiring and I/O wiring that connects the
BACnet controllers to either the FSCS or the UOJZ listed fire alarm
panel, are considered unsupervised. When this wiring is external to the
FSCS or the UOJZ listed fire alarm panel, the BACnet controllers must
be mounted within 20 feet of the panel to which they are connected,
and the RS-232 wiring must be run in conduit. The table below lists the
general requirements for wiring associated with the BACnet smoke
control applications.

General Comments
This section describes general comments regarding a Smoke Control
System and includes the following topics:

FSCS Requirement
Pressure Guidelines
FSCS Requirement
In some cases, the FSCS may be considered optional. The Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) determines whether an FSCS is required.
Pressure Guidelines
Pressure Differential Guidelines
Since air pressure keeps smoke from spreading, the primary design
factors for a smoke control system are the amount of pressure needed to
confine the smoke and the size of the system used to create this
pressure.
For the smoke control system to create a barrier of air pressure
between the smoke zone and surrounding zones, the amount of
pressure required varies with the height of the ceiling and whether or
not the building has a sprinkler system. The following table indicates
the minimum pressure differential needed to keep smoke out of
surrounding rooms.

Sprinkler System

Any
0.05
No
0.10
77

0.14
No

0.18
For buildings without sprinklers and with ceiling heights not shown in
the table, use the following formula to determine the minimum amount
of pressure needed to keep smoke out:
MinimumPressure = 7.64 x H x [(1/To) - (1/Tf)] + SafetyFactor
H is the distance between the fire space and a surrounding space where
the pressure differential is zero. A figure of the floor to ceiling height is
a conservative estimate.
To is the absolute room temperature of the surrounding zones
measured in R (degrees Rankine). Typically, To = 530R (70F). The
conversion from R to F is: R = F + 460.
Tf is the absolute temperature of hot gases in the fire zone. It is also
measured in R. Typically, Tf is 2160R (1700F).
SafetyFactor is a constant added to the results to make sure they are
sufficient. A value of 0.03 wg (inches water gauge) is recommended.
Pressure buildup in an area depends on how much leakage there is.
Leakage occurs through joints, cracks, openings for pipes and wires,
gaps between doors and their door jams, and so forth. The better the
zone is sealed off from its neighbors, the easier it is to maintain the
required pressure. Since larger openings, like doorways that are
normally open, require large amounts of air to maintain pressurization,
you should avoid this type of situation.
