ESSMANN controls

It must be possible to open smoke and heat extraction systems (SHEs) automatically at a particular temperature in the event of a fire, as well as manually; they are fitted with control cables and release stations either individually or as a group. This complete natural smoke extraction system (NSE) can be operated via various pneumatic or electrical controls.

ESSMANN emergency release stations (pneumatic)
are encased in a sturdy plastic housing. The safety system can easily be installed, even in higher class architectural surroundings, and still be clearly identifiable and operable. A flush-mounting frame is available for the surface-mounted version. Even when flush mounted, the emergency release station protrudes 30 mm from the wall surface to ensure that it can be identified. As such, the release station is guaranteed to be identifiable, even from a long distance. It is available in blue (RAL 5005) and yellow (RAL 1018), in addition to the standard red (RAL 3000). The connected SHE system is activated by breaking the safety glass and pushing the lever to its end position. The lever locks in the end position as visual proof that the station has been activated. ESSMANN emergency release stations with manual release devices can be fitted with a CO2 tank of up to 150 g. A fire detection component (glass bulb) integrated in the thermal release mechanism automatically triggers the system at a specific temperature. The thermal release can be fitted with fire detection components that respond at 343 K (70°C) or 363 K (90°C), with other temperature thresholds available on request. The fire detection component shatters, puncturing a CO2 tank. The lifting cylinder opens the skylight dome to 170°. The system is activated remotely via an emergency release station. It must usually be re-commissioned by ESSMANN's maintenance service.

ESSMANN SHE Staircase Control Centre
The surface-mounted version of the ESSMANN SHE staircase control centre (SCC) is designed to control two 24V ESSMANN servomotor openers. SHE buttons or automatic detectors can be connected to control the SHE function.

The centre can be expanded to include an interface for transferring malfunction or activation signals potential-free to other systems.
ESMMAN wind and rain detectors can also be connected to it.

Ventilation buttons control the ventilation function. Or the ventilation can be closed automatically after 10 minutes.

The following can be connected:

  2 x 24V ESSMANN servomotor openers
10 x ESSMANN SHE buttons
10 x ESSMANN automatic detectors
10 x ESSMANN ventilation buttons

The ESSMANN SHE staircase control centre is also suitable for controlling pneumatic smoke extraction systems in conjunction with pressurised gas generators (PGG). A maximum of eight sequentially switched pressurised gas generators can be activated simultaneously by the centre, which also permanently monitors their performance.

Mounting Instructions

ESSMANN SCC VdS SHE Staircase Control Centre
The difference between the SCC VdS SHE staircase control centre and the standard SCC version is that the former product is officially approved by VdS (G 501004). SHE buttons or automatic detectors control the SHE function. The servomotors, SHE buttons and automatic detectors must also be VdS tested and approved to ensure compliance with VdS specifications.

The following can be connected:

  2 x 24 V ESSMANN servomotor openers
10 x ESSMANN SHE buttons
10 x ESSMANN automatic detectors
10 x ESSMANN ventilation buttons
  1 x ESSMANN wind and rain detection system

ESSMANN 4A and 8A Compact Centres
The ESSMANN 4A and 8A compact centres offer innovative technology, a more compact design and a wide range of functions.
Unlike the previous modular design, all control functions are stored on a space-saving circuit board in the compact centres.

The compact centre houses all of the standard functions for SHE and ventilation, including connections for wind and rain detectors and the forwarding of reports.

A switch panel is integrated for setting 12 additional functions on dip switches. These include, for example, switching off the engine stroke, limiting the lift at specific times, automatic closing, etc.

Moreover, the compact centres are fitted with an integrated service port that allows ESSMANN maintenance engineers to configure the centre at any time with the help of a connecting cable and laptop with appropriate software.

ESSMANN MZ2 Module Centre
The ESSMANN MZ2 module centre is a centre for controlling servo powered smoke extraction and daily aeration and ventilation. The MZ2 offers a whole host of additional functions for which other module systems require separate modules. These include, for example:

  • Integrated maintenance function
  • Forwarding of reports
  • Standard connection for wind/rain detector
  • Evaluation of wind/rain reports
  • Lift limitation

This makes the MZ2 module centre less expensive than other systems. It is, moreover, compatible with all existing connection components. The power pack for the drive provides 16 A performance and can be expanded in 16 A increments. Maintenance and changes to the configuration may only be performed by trained and licensed specialists to ensure that the module centre is not manipulated in any way without authorisation.
