Unit Electronic Control
The system is deployed on an alarm signal from the local smoke detector or the fire control panel. Electrical power requirement is 120/240VAC. System controls are listed in accordance with the UL 864 standard and listed by Intertek Laboratories. The external control box can be mounted up to 30 conduit feet from the M2100E unit. Optional Firefighters Smoke Control Station (FSCS) panel connectivity is available. An optional keyed test deploy switch is also available.

Emergency Power Source
The unit is equipped with a battery back-up system that is maintained by the electronic controls, this prevents nuisance deploys on brief power outages. When required, the system can also be connected to building standby power.
-
Screen Retract Switch
An electronic push-button is located in the center of the curtain - accessible from both sides - to offer a powered means of egress for occupants or first responders. If the system is in alarm state when an egress button is depressed, the curtain will retract to allow passage, then redeploy after a brief pause.

A high mount is a Smoke Guard system (SGS) housing is mounted in ceiling or valence above the top of the elevator door frame.
A magnet will adhere to or be attracted to a frame constructed of ferrous materials. Iron and steel are examples of ferrous materials. The Smoke Guard system (SGS) curtain requires a 2-inch wide continuous flat ferrous metal surface for deployment.
Stub rails are short versions of our full-length ferrous metal rails used to span the distance between a ferrous metal elevator door frame and the bottom of a Smoke Guard System (SGS) housing to maintain the continuous ferrous metal surface required for system deployment.
No. The Smoke Guard system (SGS) provides a smoke- and draft-control assembly for the fire-rated elevator door frame. The SGS is a smoke resistant gasket mounted on the face of the elevator doorframe which allows the elevator to function without interfering with elevator door operation.
The release mechanism of the Smoke Guard system (SGS) is connected to a UL listed smoke detector (UL Standard 268) required by code at the elevator landing. When smoke is detected, the release mechanism activates SGS deployment. The SGS curtain covers the elevator openings on the floor where smoke was detected.
We refer to the depth or distance between the wall and the face of the elevator door frame as a "return". Model 200 has specific returns associated this system, consult your local SGS distributor or SG Customer Service on return sizes for your project.
The Smoke Guard system (SGS) Model 200 is a fail safe device that is gravity deployed. This unit will stop only when the curtain assembly encounters the floor.
