OpenAir Electronic Fusible Link

EA1127R1

Product Description
The Electronic Fusible Link (EFL) is a heat responsive device used with the Siemens OpenAir UL listed fire and smoke control damper actuator. Upon exceeding the temperature limits of the EFL model ordered and installed, the EFL cuts power to the electronic damper actuator and the actuators spring return mechanism closes the damper.

Expected Installation Time

15 minutes

Prerequisites
Appropriate OpenAir GND series damper actuator.

Operation
When the EFL detects that its temperature settings is exceeded, the power to the electronic damper actuator is shut off and the spring mechanism closes the damper. The manual override reset button (See Figure 1) on the EFL can be pressed when the temperature has cooled below the EFL setpoint. The EFL device will again be operational. CAUTION: Before resetting any sensor, a careful inspection of the damper, damper actuator, and sensor should be made. Damage to the temperature sensor will result in loss of damper control.

NOTE:

The EFL must be factory-installed. The UL rating carried by the specific damper and actuator is assigned as an assembly and cannot be added in the field.

Replacement EFLs may be field-installed with local authority approval.
