Smoke extraction system control units - a key safety element
Smoke extraction control units are the heart of fire protection installations. Their role is invaluable in dangerous situations. They are responsible for the efficient removal of smoke and hot gases. Thanks to them, evacuation routes remain passable. The control units coordinate the operation of all elements of the smoke extraction system. They control sensors, actuators and smoke flaps. They provide effective protection of life and property.
At Onninen we offer a wide range of smoke extraction units. Our products meet the highest safety standards. They are compliant with current standards and regulations. We supply solutions from renowned manufacturers. In our offer you will find the Fumaro and D+H brands. Their units are appreciated by professionals. They provide reliable operation at critical moments.
Types of smoke extraction control units available at Onninen
The range of smoke extraction units is very diverse. We offer models with different power and functionality. Units with output current from 2.5A to 36A are available. The most popular are 5A, 10A and 20A units. For larger facilities, we recommend more powerful units. 24A, 32A or 36A units will work well in extended systems. The key to selecting the right control panel is a thorough analysis of the facility’s needs.
The AFG-ZSP-4024 series are worth paying special attention to. These are advanced modular control panels. They allow for flexible system configuration. They are available in versions with 1 to 10 monitoring lines. They support 1 to 10 fan groups. Thanks to this, they can be adapted to various building sizes. They work well in both small and large facilities.
- AFG-ZSP-4024 1L1G - for the smallest installations
- AFG-ZSP-4024 5L5G - optimal for medium-sized buildings
- AFG-ZSP-4024 10L10G - for extended systems
These control units offer advanced diagnostic functions. They facilitate monitoring and maintenance of the system. They provide full control over the smoke extraction system. Their modular design allows for easy expansion in the future.
Criteria for selecting control units for the smoke extraction system
Choosing the right control unit is a key decision. It affects the effectiveness of the entire smoke extraction system. In our daily practice we see how important an individual approach is. Each facility has its own unique requirements. When selecting a central unit, we consider many factors:
- Size and type of protected object
- Number and type of executive devices
- Required features and level of automation
- Possibility of integration with other systems
- Regulations and standards applicable to a given type of building
Our experience shows that the future-proofness of the solution is also key. It is worth choosing a control unit with a power reserve. This will allow for any expansion of the system. Ease of use and servicing is also important. Control units with an intuitive interface make everyday work easier.
Recently, in a project for a large shopping center, we used the AFG-ZSP-4024 8L8G control unit. It allowed us to create 8 independent smoke extraction zones. Each zone has a dedicated smoke extraction fan. The system provides precise control of smoke extraction in individual areas. This increases evacuation safety and facilitates rescue operations.
When modernizing older buildings, we often encounter challenges. The control panels must work with the existing infrastructure. Integration with systems from different manufacturers is often required. Our control panels offer a wide range of possibilities in this area. They allow for the smooth integration of new elements into the older installation.
Onninen recommends modular solutions for multi-purpose facilities. In the case of office reorganization, it is most often necessary to modify the smoke extraction system. Modular control units allow easy adjustment of the configuration. There is no need to replace the entire device. This is a significant saving of time and costs.
Many customers ask us about the possibility of remote monitoring of control panels. Modern models offer advanced functions in this area. They enable monitoring and control via the network. Administrators can respond to alarms from anywhere. This increases the security and efficiency of facility management.
Our experience shows that the reliability of the power supply of the control units is also key. We offer models with advanced backup systems. They guarantee continuity of work even in the event of a long-term power outage. This is particularly important in public or industrial facilities.
Smoke extraction system control units are an investment in safety for years to come. It is worth choosing proven solutions from renowned manufacturers. At Onninen, we provide professional advice when selecting them. Our specialists will help you choose the optimal control unit for each facility. We invite you to contact us and take advantage of our experience in the field of smoke extraction systems.
