d.	Method of Egress: Egress switches on both sides of curtain per ANSI section 3.2.5 of ICS-ES AC 77.
14.	Operation:
a.	Normal Operation Conditions: Curtains held in retracted position by motors operating at low voltage. 
1)	Motor manufacture must confirm motor windings are suitable for normal operation conditions.
b.	Deployment Initiation: A signal from fire alarm system in an emergency.
1)	Upon Deployment Signal: Control panel removes supply voltage. Curtain descends via gravity in a controlled manner. 
a)	Dynamic Braking System: Housed in motor control circuit, controls speed of curtain descent. 
1)	Electromagnetic force controlled speed of descent to be from 6 to 24 in per sec (152 to 610 mm).
b)	Descent to be electronically synchronized on overlapping curtains with a bottom bar.
c.	Fail-Safe: System must be proven to "fail-safe" to the operational position on total loss of primary and auxiliary power. 
1)	System must include a housed battery system at the Group Control Panels.
d.	Curtain Retraction: Control panel supplies 24 Vac to motor control circuits. Motors drive curtains to the retracted position. 
1)	When bottom bars contact the head box a current limiting circuit steps back voltage and current holding the curtain in retracted position.
2)	Limit switches are not used to control the upper position of the curtain.
e.	Group Control Panel: Must have a delayed descent system. Capable of controlling up to 5, 24 Vac motor assemblies.
1)	Normal Operation: Provides 24 Vac supply to motors holding curtain in retracted position. Upon smoke detection, fire alarm contacts in the GCP are opened by the fire alarm control system. The GCP will remove then 24 Vac supply to the motors and curtains will descend under the power of gravity in a controlled manner.
2)	Main Power Failure Mode: Power supply is automatically switched to an integral standby battery and remain fully operational until battery low voltage cut off reads 21 Vac; curtains then safely descend via gravity to the deployed position.
3)	Building Management System Relay: Remote monitoring in the group control panel to provide BMS contacts for mains failure and curtain zone deployment.
f.	Test Facilitation: Key switch required.
g.	ICC ES Requirements:
1)	Push to Exit Buttons: Internal battery backup power supply for fail-safe operation.
2)	Two-stage descent option for secondary means of manual egress.

1.	In emergencies, the main power supply to control panel may have already failed and cables linking curtains to the control panel may be become damaged. Under these circumstances with no power available the curtain must deploy by gravity.
a.	A total power failure should be simulated during each test ensuring gravity fail-safe deployment. 
1)	Tests in which curtains are powered down under normal test conditions from either main power or the battery supply only proves curtain can be deployed when powered.
b.	Engage a factory-authorized service representative to test system.
C.	Training: Engage a factory-authorized service representative to train Owner's Personnel to rig, adjust, operate, and maintain automatic smoke curtains.
D.	Annual Adjustment, Maintenance and Preventative Maintenance Service: Engage a U.S. Care factory authorized service representative to test, adjust and maintain system once per annum required per NFPA 3 and NFPA 80. Any system that does not undergo the required preventative maintenance over a twelve month period shall void the testing laboratory label on the assembly. No contractor nor end user shall attempt any service of the system. Such action shall void the testing laboratory label on the assembly. All maintenance must be done by a U.S. Care factory certified technician.
