Smoke Vent Manual Control Sign

The Smoke Vent Manual Control Sign provides clear and highly visible identification of the manual operating control for a smoke ventilation system. Positioned directly adjacent to the relevant switch, button or control point, the sign helps authorised personnel, building managers, maintenance engineers and emergency responders quickly recognise the control used to operate the smoke ventilation system.

Suitable for apartment blocks, high rise buildings, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, shopping centres, residential developments, industrial premises and other buildings fitted with smoke control systems, this sign can be positioned alongside manual control points serving smoke vents, automatic opening vents or other smoke ventilation equipment.

Smoke ventilation systems are designed to help control the movement and accumulation of smoke and hot gases during a fire. Depending on the building and system design, vents may operate automatically through the fire detection or smoke control system while also incorporating a manual control facility for authorised operation.

The Smoke Vent Manual Control Sign helps distinguish the manual smoke ventilation control from ordinary ventilation switches, fire alarm call points, lighting controls and other electrical equipment that may be installed nearby. Clear identification can be particularly important in larger or more complex buildings where numerous emergency and building service controls are located within the same area.

Manual smoke vent controls may be used to open, close, reset or otherwise operate parts of a smoke control system, depending on the design of the installation. The exact function of the control should therefore be established from the specific system instructions, and operation should follow the procedures applicable to the building.

Where manual operation is restricted to authorised personnel or the fire and rescue service, appropriate procedures should be established to prevent accidental or inappropriate use. Personnel expected to operate the control should understand its purpose and the effect that operation may have on the smoke ventilation system.

The manual control point and its associated signage should remain clearly visible and readily accessible. Furniture, stored materials, decorations, temporary displays or other objects should not obscure the sign or prevent access to the control when it is required.

The Smoke Vent Manual Control Sign can form part of a wider smoke control identification system alongside Automatic Smoke Vent signs, Smoke Vent signs, Smoke Vent Shaft signs, AOV signs and other notices identifying essential fire protection and smoke ventilation equipment.

Smoke vents, actuators, manual controls, control panels, detectors, power supplies and other associated components should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by competent persons in accordance with the requirements applicable to the particular installation. Any faults that could affect operation should be investigated and addressed promptly.

Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate smoke control system design, operating instructions, fire safety procedures, maintenance, testing and staff training. The manual control should only be operated in accordance with the procedures established for the specific smoke ventilation system.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Smoke Vent Manual Control Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying an important smoke control system operating point. It helps improve control identification, support maintenance and emergency procedures and ensure the manual smoke vent control can be quickly recognised when required.
