BLE Smoke & Fire Curtains are, of course, designed to deploy under gravity, that is they gravity fail safe i.e. the curtains default state is deployed. ![]()
BLE Fire and Smoke Control Systems have a Two Stage Descent option available, which enables our curtains to deploy to a predetermined height for a predetermined amount of time. This reduces panic amongst personnel and provides an active deepening of the smoke layer. The curtain will then deploy to its required position.
The Emergency Retract control panel provides the facility for a fully deployed curtain to be momentarily retracted via a push button to facilitate the evacuation of any trapped personnel. It is also a useful function to ease the entry of any attending Fire Department officers.
Audio Visual Units can be installed to provide additional warning to personnel that the curtain is about to deploy. This can help to reduce the impact of deployment on the public.
