Terminated as of 1st January
-> replaced with Halton Safe Management 2.0 (SM2)
…. available during May 2021!
Halton Safe HSM works in combination with motorised (operating voltage 24 V) Halton fire dampers. It controls the shut off operation of fire dampers when a fire breaks out (by means of a thermal fuse, smoke detection, or an external alarm input). Enables time-controlled, external or manual testing of fire damper operation. It produces also reports on the operation test.

Smoke detectors for duct installation are delivered complete with installation base for round and insulated ductwork and with 600-mm Venturi tube.
The central unit can be modularly extended with Halton Safe Linki control units, to which the fire dampers and smoke detectors are connected. You can connect 1–4 fire dampers and 1–4 smoke detectors to one SAFE LINK control unit. The unit’s internal control logic is used in their management.
Fire dampers and smoke detectors can be clustered into as many as 15 groups, enabling the system to respond to a fire alarm by closing only those fire dampers that are in the affected fire compartment. Each fire damper or SAFE LINK control unit can also be set to function as an independent group.
The fire dampers can be automatically tested weekly, at a time specified by the user. The system creates a report on the tests carried out, indicating the functionality of each fire damper. The system is used with a 5.7″ graphical touchscreen, through which all necessary user operations can be performed. The system can be equipped with an optional 3G remote connection that makes all of the touchscreen’s functions available via a Web browser.
In the event of a power cut or a fault in the Halton Safe central unit, the Halton Safe Link control units operate independently. If a Halton Safe Link control unit loses its 24 VAC operating voltage because of a fire or a power cut, the fire dampers are closed by a spring. It is also possible to connect a backup battery to the central unit, so that the system can relay alarms even in the event of a power cut. The operating voltage of the Halton Safe control centre is 230 VAC.
The Halton Safe central unit is delivered with a main cable that is connected to an earthed socket. The mains cable also serves as the Halton Safe disconnect device. The Halton Safe control centre is usually composed of an I/O and central unit installed in the control centre cabinet.
The central unit features a 5.7″ touchscreen, attached to the front panel of the control centre cabinet. The control centre can also be installed on top of the I/O unit or next to it. If necessary, it may be even further from the I/O unit – for example, in another room. The I/O unit is connected by driving screws through the flanges at its corners. After making the connections, install a white spacer plate on top of the unit by tightening screws into the four holes on its surface.
If the central unit is attached on top of the I/O unit, also the metallic spacer plate must be attached with these screws. When you are attaching the central unit directly to the wall, the space plate is attached to the wall by drilling. The central unit is secured at the bottom with two screws.
For more information about electrical connections, see the separate user and installation guide.
The Halton Safe control centre (HSM) and Halton Safe Link (HSL) control unit do not need any special servicing.
The Calectro smoke detectors for duct or ceiling installation issue the following alarms:
The smoke detectors are cleaned according to instructions provided by Calectro.
Commissioning instructions are available in tab “Documentation” = ‘User guide Halton Saf`’ – operation and installation instructions’manual, supplied with the product.
Halton supplies its customers with support service for commissioning, in accordance with the following table. Ask for a quote from Halton Sales.
Name of the service |
Service contents | Customer’s responsibilities |
Testing | Halton tests the system’s operation, inspects the fire dampers and smoke detectors on-site to verify their correct operation, and supplies a test report. |
The Client does wiring of the system and assigns addresses for tthe fire and smoke dampers. All wirings should be done and the system should be operational before testing. |
Commissioning | Commissioning includes programming of the functions and indication of the addresses for the fire dampers. Also includes the Testing package |
The Client does wiring of the system and assigns addresses for the fire and smoke detectors. All wirings should be done and the system should be operational before commissioning.. |
System wiring (24V) |
Halton does wiring between the central system and other system components . This is additional service to the Commissioning package (Package 2). |
The Client connects the power cable, attaches Halton Link according to the designs and does wiring for the system components |
Damper locations |
Halton programs fire damper location drawings (By floor/by vertical shafts) to the central system. This is additional service to the Commissioning package (Package 2). |
The Client supplies the final design documents |
Repairs | Upon request, Halton rectifies the faults and deficiencies found during the inspection. |
The Client commits in advance to compensating for the extra work caused by the repairs. Optionally, Halton provides the customer with an error report, with repair work subject to separate negotiations. In practice, this results in a higher price |
The central unit for Halton Safe HSM can be modularly extended with Halton Safe Link control units, to which the fire dampers and smoke detectors are connected. Communication protocol between the central unit and LINK units is based on the Modbus protocol. It is possible to connect 1–4 fire dampers and smoke detectors to one Halton Safe Link control unit (optionally special Link is capable of connecting 1-12 smoke detectors and zero fire dampers).
The unit’s internal control logic is used in their management. Fire dampers and smoke detectors can be clustered into as many as 15 groups, enabling the system to respond to a fire alarm by closing only those fire dampers that are in the affected fire compartment.
Each fire damper or Halton Safe Link control unit can also be set to function as an independent group. The fire dampers can be automatically tested weekly, at a time specified by the user. The system creates a report on the tests carried out, indicating the functionality of each fire damper. The system is used with a 5.7″ graphical touchscreen, through which all necessary user operations can be performed. The system can be equipped with an optional 3G remote connection that makes all of the touchscreen’s functions available via a Web browser.
In the event of a power cut or a fault in the Halton Safe central unit, the Halton Safe Linkcontrol units operate independently. If a Halton Safe Link control unit loses its 24 VAC operating voltage because of a fire or a power cut, the fire dampers are closed by a spring. It is also possible to connect a backup battery to the central unit, so that the system can relay alarms even in the event of a power cut.
The damper test function shall be triggered by an automatic function at adjustable intervals, manually, or from an external system. The system shall be able to shut off the fans for the duration of the test cycle.
In the case of fire, the management system shall be able to close all of the fire dampers and shut off the ventilation fans in a common service area. The fire alarm shall be activated by a thermal fuse or a fire damper, a smoke sensor alarm, or an external alarm indication.
The unit shall be constructed in a cabinet, which shall be easy to install on site. The cabinet shall meet the requirements for protection class IP40.
Smoke detectors shall be for ductwork or room installation.
