Automatic Opening Vent Systems in Kent

Here’s an overview of the typical service and maintenance required for AOV systems:

Routine Inspection

Ensure all vents open and close as required.
Check manual control points and switches for functionality.
Test the system's response to alarms or smoke detection.

Cleaning and Lubrication

Clean the vents and mechanisms to prevent blockages or obstructions.
Lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

Electrical Checks

Inspect wiring and electrical connections for any signs of damage or corrosion.
Test the control panels and ensure backup power (if applicable) is functioning.

Sensor and Alarm Testing:

Verify that smoke detectors, heat sensors, and other linked fire alarm components trigger the AOV system as required.

System Calibration

Adjust settings for vent operation based on the building’s specific needs (e.g., the time the vents remain open during smoke extraction).
