iv Guidelines for Smoke Control

Definition
The purpose of a smoke control system is to contain or direct the flow of smoke in
burning buildings to minimize property damage and danger to human life. The smoke
is directed by pressurizing or depressurizing separate areas or zones of the building with
air handler units and exhaust fans. A positive pressure is used to push the smoke from
the zone to an exhaust duct, or prevent it from entering the zone from an adjacent
smoke-filled zone. Negative pressure is used to prevent the smoke from leaving the zone.
Airflow may be used to stop the movement of smoke through open doorways, but is
usually impractical because of the quantities of air required to maintain an air velocity
high enough to prevent smoke movement. A tenable environment can be maintained in
an area such as a stairwell by pressurizing to allow the occupants to leave the building
and allow emergency response personnel access to the building for fire fighting and
conducting search and rescue. Adjacent zones near the smoke zones should be pressur-
ized to prevent smoke from entering through cracks around doors and around utilities
entering the zone. The zone that contains the smoke should be controlled to a negative
pressure with respect to the surrounding zones to prevent the smoke from spreading to
other areas of the building and to facilitate exhausting the smoke to the building exterior.
The ability to create a pressure difference or air flow velocity across openings to adjacent
zones is one criterion that defines a zone. Small openings such as cracks and door gaps
will need to have sufficient pressure differences across them to control smoke movement.
The pressure difference should be great enough to prevent smoke leakage and not be
overcome by the effects of wind, stack effect, and the buoyancy of hot smoke, but should
not be so high that a force greater than 30 pounds is required to begin opening a door to
adjacent zones. Large openings such as open doors must have a sufficient air velocity
through the opening to prevent smoke movement. Similar variables are used to deter-
mine minimum air velocities (refer to NFPA-92A and ASHRAE’s Design of Smoke
Management Systems for additional information).
The number of open doors is another design criterion for defining zones. The occupancy
of the building will determine how many doors are open simultaneously and will affect
the pressure difference. Some doors may only be open for a short period of time creating
negligible smoke leakage.
The size of the zone should be considered during design. It should be small enough to
allow for the evacuation or pressurization of the air in the zone within a reasonable
amount of time. It should also be large enough to be able to dilute the heat buildup from
the fire with surrounding air so that components of the smoke control system do not fail.
The zone should also be designed to match the alarm zone and the HVAC equipment to
avoid activating the wrong smoke control equipment. An AHU should be completely
contained within one zone in order to create pressure differences or air velocities
between adjacent zones. In multi-story buildings, one floor is usually one or more zones
if it is served exclusively by one or more AHUs. An AHU that serves more than one floor
will define a zone that covers all or parts of each floor. Floors that have one or more
AHUs may still be lumped together in one zone if they are too small, or it is not possible
to generate sufficient air pressure between them. A single story building or a single floor
Guidelines for Smoke Control 1

Definition Reference Guide
within a multi-story building may be defined as more than one zone if served by more
than one AHU and there is sufficient partitioning to create the required pressure differ-
ences or air velocities between zones.
A system for smoke control may be a dedicated system that has separate air moving and
control equipment and operates only during emergency situations, or it may be a
nondedicated system that has shared equipment and functions (such as controlling the
HVAC during normal conditions, and switching to smoke control during emergency
conditions). Dedicated systems are easier to operate and modify because they have only
one function to perform, but they require additional building space and cost more than
nondedicated systems because of the duplication of equipment. They also require
frequent testing since the equipment is not used on a daily basis. Nondedicated systems
are more elaborate in their control strategies because they have more than one function
to perform and are more difficult to modify, but the cost is less and since the equipment
is used constantly, malfunctions are less likely to go undetected for long periods of time.
An existing HVAC control system that controls fans and dampers can usually be easily
modified to perform smoke control as well. This document discusses the use of UUKL
Listed CSI equipment and controllers to implement a nondedicated HVAC/smoke
management system.
The need to interface with life safety systems is often present. The smoke control system
must receive its inputs indicating the area of the smoke or fire from a Listed fire alarm
control panel. The fire alarm control panel and smoke control input circuits (typically
7716U8 PCU or 7700U8 DCU) must be mounted adjacent to, and connected by conduit
with each other and have access restricted to qualified personnel (see NFPA-92A and
UL864 for additional requirements). These fire alarm control panels provide dry contact
outputs for other systems to use as inputs to indicate alarm conditions. The smoke
control system must be designed with these other systems in mind if monitored alarm
circuits are required. It is preferable and often necessary to have a separate dry contact
for every alarm circuit (zone) as opposed to one, or a few combined alarms.
A Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS) is required for firefighters to monitor and
manually override the equipment used for smoke control. The FSCS should have the
highest priority control over all smoke control equipment. Check with local building
codes and fire authorities to determine how the FSCS must be implemented for the
particular application. The FSCS shall be provided using the (UUKL Listed) Space Age
Electronics XL8 series Annunciator panel with related building diagram showing the
type and location of all smoke control equipment. Typical systems might consist of
7716U8 PCUs or 7700U8 DCUs controlling the large air handler units (AHU) with one
or two air handlers per controller, depending on the number of hardware points required
to monitor and control. 7760U8 UCIs and 7270U8 or 7261U8 UCs may be used to
control variable air volume (VAV) boxes or small fans or AHUs. The 7261U8 UC would
also be an appropriate controller for a stairwell smoke control application. The ACT02
and 03 damper actuators are used with the VAV UC. The 4AOC1 is used with the 7700U8
DCU for 4-20 mA output to devices such as electric actuators for dampers or valves, for
variable frequency motor drives, or for transducers requiring 4-20 mA input. The IP1,
PWMP1, PWMV1, PWMC1, and PWMC2 are transducers used with the controllers for
similar electric or pneumatic devices. Refer to Appendix B for a complete list of CSI
equipment that can be used for HVAC and nondedicated smoke management systems.
All DCU, PCU, and UCI controllers communicate through a twisted, shielded pair Local
Area Network (LAN). The UCs communicate with the UCI on a similar UC LAN.
Although the controllers are distributed processors and can stand alone, they most likely
2 Guidelines for Smoke Control

Reference Guide Definition
will require information from another controller via the LAN, such as an indication of a
smoke alarm in an adjacent zone. Therefore, the LAN should be located so that it has
maximum protection during a fire and the application software should be designed so
that if communications fail, the controller maintains the equipment in the last mode
before the loss of communications occurred.
See the User/Installation Guide or Specification Sheet with each piece of equipment for
more details about the hardware. See the I/NET 7700 Operator Guide for more informa-
tion about system configurations and programming.
The CSI equipment may be used in a wide variety of applications for smoke control from
controlling air handler units and exhaust fans in multi-story high-rise office towers, to a
single story building with one air handler. The control strategies are similar for each zone
with the basic differences being for the type of air handler under control. Appendix B
provides a list of UUKL Listed CSI equipment which can be used in the design and
construction of non-dedicated smoke control systems that comply with UUKL Smoke
Control System requirements. It is essential that the basic principles of smoke control,
system design goals, and local building code and inspection requirements be understood
before the design of the overall smoke control system is undertaken.

Design Reference Guide
Design
Hardware
After addressing and understanding the requirements of local building codes and rele-
vant governing regulatory agencies, the building or buildings that are to have a smoke
control system installed should be examined. It is important that the design of the smoke
system address the required design parameters (leakage, weather, pressure differences,
etc.) specifically to create the most effective smoke management system. The smoke
control system should minimize the migration of smoke from a fire zone and should
maintain a tenable environment during evacuation in case of a fire. The system should
also provide conditions outside the fire zone conducive to search and rescue operations
as well as firefighting by emergency personnel. It is important that the smoke zones
defined within the building are properly matched with appropriate HVAC equipment
(AHUs, fans, smoke dampers, etc.) which will be capable of generating and maintaining
the required pressure differentials and airflows to achieve proper smoke management.
CSI controllers can then be selected for the proper control of this equipment for both
normal HVAC and smoke control modes.
After the HVAC equipment has been selected and installed, create a sequence of opera-
tion that defines the operation of the equipment in all modes. For HVAC equipment, the
control for the smoke control modes of operation will be merged with normal HVAC
mode control and will override that mode. Define the sequence of operation in detail,
indicating all hardware points and all parameters (such as time delays, setpoints, posi-
tions, etc.).
Create a list to describe the hardware points to be monitored and controlled. To each
point assign a name and point type such as analog input (AI), discrete input (DI), analog
output (AO), or discrete output (DO) and select an address to wire each point to. Pulse
width points are programed as AO points but on the 7700U8 DCU they are wired at a
DO address. Label them as AO but remember to locate them at a DO address for the
7700U8 DCU. Sort the points list by equipment such as AHU 1, AHU 2, etc., and select
the type of controller to use. This list can be used as a guide to installation as well as
programming. Refer to the specific controller Installation Guide for information on the
number of inputs and outputs and expansion capabilities.
Try to keep all points for each piece of controlled equipment together on the same
DCU/PCU to minimize LAN communication for more accurate control should the
controller be separated from the LAN in a fire. Keep in mind that each controller will be
wired to the LAN on a shielded, twisted pair cable. It is desirable to run the LAN in
conduit and in a location that will protect it from fire. This may influence your decision
about the location and quantity of controllers. It may be more cost effective to purchase
an additional controller than to pull multiple cables from a remote AHU to another
controller with enough spare points.
After grouping the points by controller, assign a station address from 0 to 63 to each
controller. Assign one station address for each Tap on the LAN used for a PC host (or
interface to phone lines). If more than 32 stations are required, refer to the Taps and

Reference Guide Design
Repeater Model 7800 Installation Guide for information about repeaters. If more than 64
stations are required, refer to the Taps and Repeater Model 7800 Installation Guide for
information about creating multiple LANs and host LANs. The wiring for UC to UCI
communication is similar to LAN wiring, except that no more than 32 UCs may be tied
to each UCI. The UCI takes up one station address on the LAN.
Typical field devices are used to monitor and control HVAC for smoke control systems
as well as non-smoke control systems with a few exceptions. The obvious exception is the
smoke or fire detector itself. It should be NFPA and UL Listed, and wired to a Listed fire
alarm control panel. The fire alarm control panel should provide a dry contact output to
wire to a DI point. A means for periodic testing of the sensor should be available, since
this device is not in constant use. The interconnection between the Listed control panel
and the controller shall be through conduit, and the two shall be mounted adjacent to
each other.
Fan status DI points for fans greater than 2,000 CFM that are used for smoke control
purposes must be from a differential pressure switch across the fan in order to provide
positive proof of airflow from the fan. A motor starter auxiliary contact, control relay
contact, or air flow switch does not give positive proof of airflow from the fan.
Dampers used to control the flow of smoke such as return air, outside air, relief air, and
inlet vane dampers, require end switches to indicate the positive proof of damper posi-
tion. An end switch must be installed and wired to a DI point to verify that the damper
is fully open or closed for that damper position in a smoke control mode. If separate
smoke dampers are used, they will also require end switches to indicate the closed posi-
tion.
Each system must also provide a Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS). This FSCS
is implemented using CSI Model 7716U8 PCU controllers that are mounted adjacent to
the FSCS panel. These PCUs monitor the switches and drive the indicator lights on the
FSCS and connect to zone outputs of a U.L. Listed fire alarm control unit. The 7716U8
PCUs used (for FSCS control) must be mounted adjacent to the fire alarm control unit
with the zone output interconnect wiring run in conduit.
Software
The first step in programming a controller is to enter the station address for the DCU or
PCU using the hand-held console. Refer to the Installation Guide for the hand-held
console for instructions. Next, program the station parameters that will be used with the
points in the program; state descriptions, control descriptions and commands, conver-
sion coefficients and engineering units. The use and programming of station parameters
is described in detail in the I/NET 7700 Operator Guide. Program the resident I/O points
using the points list created earlier. Add internal points such as pressurize, exhaust and
trouble modes to the list as well. Any discrete input points that need to create an alarm
in one state should be programed as discrete alarm (DA) points. These points will turn
red and flash on a graphic page when in the alarm state. They can also trigger an audible
alarm from the PC.
Keep all point scan times at 10 seconds or less to allow for an adequate response time.

Design Reference Guide
The controlling software will be written from the sequence of operation using calcula-
tions, direct digital control modules, time schedules, and/or other editors of the I/NET
software. Password protection is supported within the INET software to provide
different levels of access to the smoke control system. Minimal access would be provided
for acknowledgment of incoming signals and checking of system status only. Higher
levels of access would allow individual devices to be controlled and tested. The highest
(system) level password would allow modification of the operating program as well as
any lower access level functions. Refer to the INET 7700 Operator Guide for information
concerning the generation of system and controller password protection.
There are three primary modes of operation for an AHU for smoke control; pressurize,
exhaust and trouble. The level of priority for these three modes is from low to high
respectively with the higher modes overriding the lower modes. The software will switch
automatically from the normal HVAC control to the appropriate smoke mode automat-
ically. Once the system has responded to a (smoke) alarm, each affected zone will “lock”
into the appropriate smoke mode. Additional subsequent alarms will not produce addi-
tional responses from the system. This prevents the AHU from reacting to multiple
alarms and keeps it in the safest mode possible until manually reset or overridden. Two
additional modes of operation, purge (also called dilution) and isolate, may be required
depending on local building codes and requirements. The purge mode, consisting of
equal air supply and exhaust rates, is used to clear smoke infiltrating from other remote
zones or to clear smoke from a smoke zone after a fire has been extinguished. Purging is
generally not used in a zone where a large fire is located since significant reductions of
smoke cannot be achieved with typical HVAC system equipment. The isolate mode is
used to minimize airflow within a zone or zones and to isolate the zone from the outside
air supply and exhaust ducts. These two modes are typically not automatic modes, as are
the pressurize, exhaust, and trouble modes, and can only be manually initiated from the
FSCS controls. All five smoke modes are discussed below.
The pressurize mode is used to prevent smoke from entering the controlled zone. Pres-
surization is accomplished by turning on the supply air fan and opening the outside air
damper to maximize the outside air and closing off the relief air damper (relief fan off).
The return air damper is closed.
The purpose of the exhaust mode is to create a lower air pressure within the controlled
zone with respect to adjacent (pressurized) zones. Smoke within the zone will also be
exhausted. To exhaust a zone, the relief air damper is opened (relief fan on) and the
outside air damper is opened (but the supply air fan is turned off). The return air
damper is closed.
The purge mode maximizes the flow of outside air through the controlled zone. This
facilitates the removal of smoke within the zone after a fire has been extinguished. Purge
mode control is similar to a pressurize control mode except that the relief damper is
opened and the relief fan is turned on.
The isolate mode minimizes the flow of air into or through the zone. All dampers are
closed and all fans are turned off.
The trouble mode is triggered by a hardware malfunction such as a damper not opening
or closing, or a fan not starting or stopping. Smoke control system equipment is required
to verify that a fan or damper has achieved its required end function. This end-process
verification is achieved by monitoring fans with pressure differential switches and
dampers with degree-of-opening switches. These switches are connected to an input
point of the Smoke Control System equipment for monitoring. The state of the switch,

Reference Guide Design
or verification sensor, must agree with the expected controlled state of the mechanical
device after appropriate delays for damper movement and fan startup or shutdown. If,
after the proper delay, the state of the end verification switch (or sensor) does not match
the controlled state, an audible and visual trouble signal must be energized. This trouble
signal may be stopped by an FSCS Reset, but the trouble indicator light will remain lit
until the trouble condition has been corrected and then reset. When the trouble mode
for a zone is activated, the equipment in that zone is placed in the least dangerous config-
uration, which is usually all fans off and outside and relief air open. The exact hardware
configuration for each mode will vary depending on the HVAC equipment but the prin-
ciples are the same.

Operation Reference Guide
Operation
The following sequence of operation and corresponding schematics shown in Figures 1-

5 are for five typical AHU configurations. The FSCS is shown as hardware points in
another station but may be internal points instead. A flow diagram (Figure8, “DDC Flow
Diagram Example for AHU Types 1-4”) and an explanation of the direct digital control
(DDC) modules used to accomplish the sequence of operation for examples 1 through 4
follows. Calculations and events should be used when possible to save DDC modules for
the normal HVAC applications; although DDC modules facilitate the use of time delays
much better when checking for trouble conditions and end-process verification.
Example 5 was programmed with calculations and events, which are described later.
AHU Type 1 - Sequence of Operation - Smoke Control

Normal: Outside air, return air, and relief dampers are modulated based on mixed air
temperature when the outside air temperature is less than the return air temperature,
otherwise the outside air and relief dampers are at a minimum position of 10% for venti-
lation. A position switch on the relief damper will start the relief fan when the damper is
30% open. The supply fan will start and stop based on time schedules.
Pressurize: If an adjacent zone smoke detector goes to the alarm state or if a manual
command to pressurize is received from the FSCS, the supply fan will start and the
outside air damper will open to 100%. The return air damper will close. The relief fan
will stop and the relief damper will close. The maximum response time for the supply
fan to turn on and the relief fan to stop (as indicated by the end-verification device) is 60
seconds. The outside air and relief air dampers are allowed a maximum of 75 seconds to
open to 100% and to completely close respectively (as indicated by the end-verification
device). If any of the controlled devices fail to reach the proper state, the trouble condi-
tion will be activated.
Exhaust: If this AHUs smoke detector goes to the alarm state or if a manual command to
exhaust is received from the FSCS, the supply fan will stop, the outside air and relief
dampers will open to 100%, and the return damper will close. The relief fan will start
when the relief damper opens. If, after the maximum response times mentioned above,
the outside or relief dampers fail to open to 100% or the return damper fails to close or
the supply fan fails to stop, the trouble condition will be activated.
Trouble: If the trouble condition is activated, the supply and relief fan will be controlled
to stop and the outside air and relief dampers will be controlled to open. The AHU will
not be allowed to start again until after the reset is activated.
Note: The firefighter's smoke-control, station-override switch for pressurize and exhaust (or
discrete device control, depending on implementation) will manually override any auto-
matic response. In the Auto position, a zone that has been controlled to a smoke control
mode will remain in that mode until manually controlled to a different mode at the FSCS
(or manually reset at the FSCS).

or the return damper fails to close or the supply fan fails to stop or the return-relief fan
fails to start, the trouble condition will be activated.
Trouble: If the trouble condition is activated, the supply and return-relief fans will be
controlled to stop and the outside air and relief dampers will be controlled to open. The
AHU will not be allowed to start again until after the reset is activated.

start and the dampers will open to 100%. The maximum response time for the supply
and VAV fans to start (as indicated by the end-verification devices) is 60 seconds. The
outside air, return, relief, and VAV dampers are allowed a maximum of 75 seconds to
reach the proper controlled state. If, after the maximum response times, the outside or
supply inlet vane dampers fail to open to 100%, or the return or relief dampers fail to

Normal: The outside air damper will be closed and the supply fan will be off.
Pressurize: If a fire alarm signal is received from the fire alarm control panel, if any zone
goes into an exhaust mode, or if a manual command to pressurize is received from the
FSCS, all stairwells should be controlled to the pressurized state. The stairwell outside air
damper will open to 100%. A position switch on the outside air damper will start the
supply fan when the damper is 90% open. The supply fan inlet vane damper will modu-
late based on a stairwell static pressure sensor. If, after 60 seconds, the supply fan fails to
start, the trouble condition will be activated.
A smoke detector should be provided in the stairwell pressurization air supply. Upon
detection of smoke, the stairwell supply fan(s) should be stopped. The FSCS must have
the capability to override or restart the fans by manual control.

Trouble: If the trouble condition is activated, the outside air damper will be controlled to
close and the supply fan will stop. The inlet vane damper will be controlled to close. The
AHU will not be allowed to start again until after the reset is activated.
Note: The firefighter's smoke control, station-override switch for pressurize will manually over-
ride any automatic mode. In the Auto position, the mode of the stairwell that has been
controlled to the pressurize mode (smoke mode) will remain in that mode unless stopped by
the stairwell smoke detector, manually controlled to a different mode by the FSCS (or
manually reset at the FSCS).

Notes: Module numbers shown in the upper left corner of the module are for
reference only. Your numbers may be different.
A line is an output from one module that goes directly into the input of
one or more modules. It is easier to program if the line numbers are the
same as the module numbers (as they are in this example).
All state descriptions are written with the 0 state on the left and the 1 state
on the right. Ex.: NRML/ALRM- the normal state is 0 (the contact is
open) and the alarm state is 1 (the contact is closed).
All control descriptions are written with the description that a 0 will go to
the first of the pair on the left and the description that a 1 will go to the
second of the pair on the right. This may or may not correspond with the
control commands.

The Firefighter’s Smoke Control Stations in the examples for AHU types 1 through 5 are
shown as hardware points that are no more than DIs that monitor the switches and DOs
that activate lights and audible alarms in the Space Age Electronics XL8 Annunciator. For
testing and installation purposes, these points can be displayed and controlled from a
graphics page or pages that give a more complete indication of the status of the entire
building and individual AHUs. These graphic pages can be dynamic, that is, they can
change based on the status of the equipment. Discrete points with two states such as fan
status, damper end switches, smoke detectors, and fan control can be represented on a
graphics page with user defined library symbols for each state, as well as the ASCII char-
acter state description. For example, a type 1 AHU might be shown on a graphics page
exactly as drawn in Figure2, “AHU Type 1”, with the FSCS represented with internal
points. The same points could also be shown on another page along with many other
AHUs to allow for a summary of AHUs at a glance. Fan status could be shown as a
squirrel cage with an empty center for the fan off, and a squirrel cage with the center
filled with color for the fan on. Or arrows might be used to show air flow when the fan
is on. Dampers can be shown as half open for modulating, and fully open or closed when
the end switch closes. Internal points can also be displayed with either ASCII characters
or graphic symbols such as buttons, switches, lights or alarm horns. Colors should corre-
spond with already established standards for FSCS indicators as follows:
✦ Equipment operating or ON - Green
✦ Dampers OPEN - Green
✦ Dampers CLOSED - Yellow
✦ Faults or Alarms - Amber or Orange
A floor plan page or pages can be created with an exact floor plan of the building showing
equipment locations and modes for the equipment and zones. The operator can “zoom
in” on an AHU by placing the cursor on the desired unit and selecting that AHU page if
page icons are used when creating the floor plan. This allows the operator to bring up
another page that shows more detail on the AHU and then switch back to the floor plan.
Graphic pages such as these are usually part of an HVAC control system and adding
points for smoke control would be a natural extension for a non-dedicated system.
The normal, non-fire/smoke mode of the HVAC equipment will vary with the require-
ments for the building, but most likely the AHUs would be controlled automatically,
starting and stopping based on time schedules and modulating dampers to maintain a
constant space temperature. Low and high alarm limits should be programmed on all
analog input points to create an alarm if temperatures or pressures are not maintained.
The operator should acknowledge any alarm conditions and check the equipment to
determine the cause of the alarm. Repairs should be made as soon as possible. A

malfunction such as a stuck damper can have serious consequences in a smoke control
mode. Normal daily operation of the equipment will uncover many malfunctions if
reasonable alarm limits are set.
Emergency fire or smoke conditions will cause the equipment to automatically enter the
pressurize or exhaust modes as described in the previous examples. Automatic activation
of the smoke modes will be initiated only when a fire alarm signal is received from the
fire control panel. This fire alarm signal will initiate the automatic smoke mode for this
zone (exhaust) and the surrounding zones will respond by pressurizing. It is important
that the smoke zones and the fire zones (as defined in the fire control panel) correspond.
A fire alarm output point from the fire control panel (dry contact output) must identify
the affected fire zone to the smoke control system so that the correct automatic response
is initiated. These points will go into alarm if programed as DA points and should be
acknowledged by the operator (refer to the I/NET 7700 User's Guide).
Smoke Control modes will latch in to prevent the AHU from reacting to multiple alarms,
therefore it is necessary to reset the software (using the FSCS reset) when it is desired to
revert back to a lower priority mode. The modes can be manually overridden by the
FSCS. With the FSCS implemented, using the Space Age Electronics XL8 Annunciator,
all manual override is controlled directly through the switches on the Annunciator. If a
device is placed into manual override, the normal mode of operation of that device will
not be resumed until the override switch is returned to the Auto position. If the smoke
control equipment of the zones is controlled collectively (smoke modes exhaust, pres-
surize, isolate and purge), all smoke related equipment in the zone is controlled collec-
tively. Returning the FSCS switch to Auto allows all of these devices to return to a normal
mode of operation. If a device has not responded properly and a Trouble signal has been
generated, then the problem must be fixed, the FSCS Reset switch activated, and the
override switch returned to Auto before the zone will return to normal operation.
Testing is necessary to make sure that all hardware and software is working correctly (as
well as the related mechanical fans and dampers in the system). In addition, the testing
should include full system activation and response tests to verify operational efficiency
and integrity as a whole. All automatic response modes and all manual override (FSCS)
control should be checked and proper operation verified. These tests should be
conducted annually for non-dedicated systems. If the controllers are on standby power,
the test should be conducted on standby power. Exercise all modes of the smoke control
sequence of operation by changing the inputs that activate those modes and observe the
system to see if the change in inputs were received and the appropriate change in outputs
were executed. Refer to NFPA-92A for testing and verification requirements and
methods.

Reference Guide System Examples
System Examples
A typical example for an entire system might be a 20-story office tower with one AHU
per floor that is the same as AHU type 4 in Figure6, “AHU Type 5 (Stairwell)”. Each floor
has 15 VAV boxes on each AHU. In addition there is a common stairwell with one AHU
type 5 as in Figure7, “Legend for DDC Flow Diagrams”. Each floor is one zone and the
stairwell is one zone. Controlling each AHU is a 7700U8 DCU or 7716BU8 PCU and
there are 15 7261U8 VAV UCs connected to a 7760U8 UCI on each floor for the fan
powered VAV boxes. On the top floor, a 16th 7270U8 Universal UC is used to control the
stairwell fan. Each controller is given a station address beginning with 1 from floor 1.
Therefore, the DCU or PCU on the first floor will have station address 1 and the UCI will
have station address 2 and the DCU or PCU on the 20th floor will have station address
39 and the UCI will have station address 40. A LAN for the controllers will be run up
through the floors and a LAN on each floor for the UCs will be run to connect each VAV
box UC. See Figure14, “Typical LAN Wiring” for typical LAN wiring.

When programming the VAV box UCs, the software should be set up as described in the

space temperature should go to an internal AO called VAV TEMP PID OUT, and the
setpoint of the PID loop controlling CFM should be another internal AO called VAV
CFM SETPT. Add the following calculation to this point to allow the damper to be forced
open with the fan off:

Another typical example is a two-story building that is divided into four equal quadrants
per floor, with each quadrant being one zone and no stairwell fan. Each zone is served by
a type 3 AHU. Eight controllers with station numbers 1 through 8 are used, one per
AHU. When one zone smoke detector goes into alarm, the other two adjacent zones on
the same floor and the adjacent zone above or below will go into the pressurize mode.
The sequence of operation is the same as described earlier for type 3 AHUs except now
there are three adjacent zones instead of two to cause the AHU to enter the pressurize
mode. A third adjacent zone would be added to module 1, the high/low selector, shown
in Figure8, “DDC Flow Diagram Example for AHU Types 1-4”. See Figure17, “Example

being one zone is another typical building. Each zone is served by a type 1 AHU. Four
controllers with station numbers 1 through 4 are used, one per AHU. The sequence of
operation is the same as described for type 2 AHUs. When a zone smoke detector goes
into alarm, the two adjacent zones go into the pressurize mode. See Figure18, “Example
AHU Type 1 Points” for AHU type 1 points.

Definition Of Terms
Alarm (Smoke) Signal - An input signal to the smoke control system indicating an emer-
gency fire condition requiring immediate action, such as the alarm initiated from a UL
listed fire alarm control panel.
Firefighter's Smoke Control Station - The Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS)
includes monitoring and overriding capability over smoke control systems and equip-
ment provided at a designated location within the building for use by qualified personnel
(typically fire department personnel).
Indicating Device - Any audible or visual signal employed to indicate a fire, supervisory,
or trouble condition. Examples of audible signal appliances are bells, horns, sirens, elec-
tronic horns, buzzers, and chimes. A visual indicator consists of a lamp, target, meter
deflection, or the equivalent.
Pressurized Stairwells - A type of smoke control system in which stair shafts are
mechanically pressurized with outdoor air to keep smoke from contaminating them
during a fire.
Smoke - The airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases evolved when a material
undergoes pyrolysis or combustion, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or
otherwise mixed into the mass.
Smoke Barrier - A membrane, either vertical or horizontal, such as a wall, floor, or
ceiling assembly, that is designed and constructed to restrict the movement of smoke. A
smoke barrier may or may not have a fire resistance rating. Smoke barriers may have
openings protected by closing devices or adequate air flows.
Smoke Control Mode - A predefined operational configuration of a system or device
used for the purpose of smoke control.
Smoke Control System - An engineered system that uses mechanical fans to produce
airflows and pressure differences across smoke barriers to limit and direct smoke move-
ment.
Smoke Control Zone - A space within a building enclosed by smoke barriers, including
the top and bottom, that is part of a zoned smoke control system.
Smoke Damper - A device that meets the requirements of UL 555S, Standard for Leakage
Rated Dampers for use in Smoke Control Systems, designed to resist the passage of air
or smoke.
Smoke Exhaust System - A mechanical or gravitational system intended to move smoke
from the smoke zone to the exterior of the building, including smoke removal, purging,
and venting systems, as well as the function of exhaust fans utilized to reduce the pres-
sure in a smoke zone. Maintenance of a tenable environment in the smoke zone is not
within the capability of these systems.
Smoke Zone - The smoke control zone in which the fire is located.
Stack Effect - The vertical airflow within buildings caused by the temperature difference
between the building's interior and exterior.

Appendix A Reference Guide
Tenable Environment - An environment in which the quantity and location of smoke is

limited or otherwise restricted, to allow for ready evacuation through the space.
Zoned Smoke Control - A smoke control system that includes smoke exhaust for the
smoke zone and pressurization for all contiguous smoke control zones. The remaining
smoke control zones in the building also may be pressurized.
Note: The above are terms as defined in UL864 Control Units for Fire-Protective Signaling
Systems and NFPA-92A Smoke Control Systems (1988 Edition).
