Fire Curtain - Itegrity and Radiation

Security Features

• Purpose-built for passive fire protection, the FC4 offers a robust barrier to fire and radiant heat—enhancing security of escape routes and critical areas.
• Operates without mechanical locking—activates automatically via fire alarm signals or power failure.
• Prevents fire spread and assists emergency response, particularly in high-risk zones with large openings.
   

Safety Features

•   Independently tested to EN 13501-2, achieving E120 and EW60 classifications, delivering 120 minutes of fire integrity and 60 minutes of radiation control.
•  Integrates gravity fail-safe mechanism, ensuring safe curtain deployment in any power failure event.
•  Fitted with UPS battery backup for operational reliability under emergency conditions.
•  CE-marked under both EN 16034 and EN 13241, meeting essential European standards for powered fire-resistant barriers.
   

Fire Safety

•    Offers dual protection:
     ‣ E classification: Prevents passage of flames and hot gases for 120 minutes.
     ‣ EW classification: Limits radiant heat transmission for 60 minutes to protect people and materials nearby.
•   Built with multi-layer stainless-steel wire reinforced fabric, coated to reflect heat and withstand intense fire exposure.
•   Ensures compartmentation in open-plan buildings, aiding both evacuation and fire-fighting efforts.
•   Ideal for locations requiring enhanced life safety provisions, such as escape corridors, lobbies, and lift areas.
   

Design & Customisation

•    Discreet and versatile: features a compact headbox for flush integration into ceilings, bulkheads, or walls.
•   Supplied in standard RAL 9005 (black) or 9010 (white), with bespoke colour options available on request.
•   Supports multi-curtain and wide-span configurations, adaptable to architectural needs without visual compromise.
   

Operation & Controls

•    Powered by a 24V DC tubular motor linked to BLE’s FC-INTUM digital control panel.
•   Full integration with fire detection systems and building management systems (BMS) for automatic deployment.
•   Includes manual reset and test switch, facilitating routine inspections and maintenance checks.
•   Optional visual and audible alerts to signal curtain operation during emergency response.

Installation & Warranty

•    Manufactured made-to-measure, ensuring a tailored fit for every opening and building fire strategy.
•   Available for soffit or face-fix installation depending on structural requirements.
•   Certified for installation only into masonry walls using an 80mm x 80mm x 5mm mild steel box section, ensuring compliance with tested fire protection standards.
•   Includes a 12-month standard warranty, with extensions available through Security Direct maintenance programs.

Lead Time & Common Applications

•    Typical lead time: 3–5 weeks, depending on size and project specification.
•   Common applications include lobbies, corridors, atriums, escape routes, and compartment walls where both integrity and radiation resistance are required.
•   Installed across sectors such as transport hubs, commercial offices, shopping centres, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
