introduction
Smoke vents MCR-Prolight Plus are automatic smoke exhaust devices. The basic function of smoke vents MCR-Prolight is to exhaust
smoke, combustion gases and heat energy from enclosed spaces (production floors, storage spaces, public facilities, etc.) to the outside
of buildings, in order to protect human lives and property by:
• maintaining escape routes with low smoke levels permitting effective evacuation,
• facilitating fire-fighting action by easier location of the place of fire,
• reducing the risk of destruction of the building structure by lowering the temperature,
• limiting fire damage caused by smoke, hot combustion gases and thermal decomposition products.
They may also serve the function of ventilation hatches, combined smoke and heat ventilators with daily ventilation, roof hatchways,
as well as roof lighting.
By using smoke vents, the investor gains the opportunity to:
• reduce the fire resistance class of the building,
• enlarge the acceptable fire zones,
• lengthen the escape routes.
Depending on the requirements of individual customers, MERCOR offers single-leaf and double-leaf smoke vents, on upright and skew
curbs, in a wide range of opening dimensions and curbs heights. With prior inquiry, it is also possible to make curbs of dimensions not
included in this technical guide. All steel elements of vents are protected with a zinc coating applied by hot-galvanising or electro-
galvanising and chemically passivated.
As standard, the bases are delivered with 20 mm thick thermal insulation. Individual selection of the thickness and type of thermal
insulation is possible.
The following filling types of openable leaf are used:
• cellular polycarbonate, 10 to 25 mm thick, different degrees of transparency, different heat transfer coefficients,
• single, double, and triple acrylic domes,
• solid polycarbonate sheets,
• laminar boards (e.g. aluminium – foamed polystyrene – aluminium) – so called “blind” filling.
Detailed information about filling is given in the table (pages 37-38).
Smoke vents MCR-Prolight are offered with the following control systems:
• electrical control,
• pneumatic control,
• pneumatic-electrical control,
• mechanical control.
All these control systems may serve the function of smoke exhaust or smoke exhaust and daily ventilation. Opening of smoke vents may be
realised both from the user level and automatically by thermal fuses, smoke exhaust control panels, or fire alarm signalling.
Smoke vents of type MCR-Prolight offered by MERCOR satisfy the requirements of the technical approval
ITB no. AT-15-6495/2005 confirmed by the certificate of conformity no. ITB-0920/W as well as the certificate of conformity
in accordance with EN 12101-2: 2004

mcr control systems
9. introduction
Operation of smoke vents, as well as smoke vents with additional venting function, in spot execution or located in continuous rooflights,
requires some activation devices for their opening and closing. These devices, or rather sets of devices, form a control system for smoke
and heat exhaust or smoke and heat exhaust combined with daily ventilation. Depending on the type of devices used, a smoke exhaust
control system may be executed as:
• pneumatic system,
• electrical system,
• mechanical system,
• pneumatic-electrical system (pneumatic part for smoke exhaust and electrical part controlling the ventilation).
A control system for smoke exhaust and/or ventilation may be used in:
• spot vents,
• vents in arch-shaped continuous rooflights,
• vents in triangular continuous rooflights,
• vents in pyramid skylights,
• vents in igloo skylights,
• smoke exhaust windows.
Smoke exhaust control systems are activated automatically by smoke detectors or by an increase of air temperature, and with a smoke
vent they constitute an automatic smoke exhaust device. In accordance with the customer’s needs, apart from automatic activation,
a control system may be equipped with devices permitting remote manual activation, as well as releasing from a fire alarm signalling
system. In addition, integration with a fire alarm signalling system permits synchronised operation of the smoke exhaust system with the
operation of sprinklers, smoke and fire curtains, fire partitions, operation of inlet ventilation, or with a system controlling the operation
of aeration openings. A control system for smoke vents and ventilation hatches may be optionally equipped with adequate sensors and
a weather monitoring unit, permitting the closing of vents opened beforehand for ventilation, in the case of rain or strong wind.
The purpose of using automatic smoke exhaust devices is to remove smoke and fire gases from enclosed spaces (production floors,
storage spaces, public facilities, etc.) to the outside of buildings, and to lower the temperature. These devices contribute to the protection
of human lives and property by:
• maintaining escape routes with low smoke levels, permitting evacuation,
• facilitating the fire-fighting action by easier location of the place of fire,
• reducing the risk of destruction of the building structure by lowering the temperature,
• reducing the rate at which any fire spreads,
• reducing the risk to human lives and limiting the fire damage caused by smoke, hot combustion gases and thermal decomposition
products.

9.2.3. control centre for smoke and heat exhaust MCR 9705 v 2
The control centre for smoke and heat exhaust MCR 9705 is used
for actuation of devices of electrical smoke exhaust system of
MERCOR on the basis of alarm signals from thermal or optical
smoke detectors, manual smoke exhaust pushbuttons (RPO),
or from another control centre (e.g. from a fire alarm signalling
system, from a building automation system).The control centre is
supplied with AC voltage 230 V~ and it supplies voltage 24 V= to
the devices of the electrical smoke exhaust system. The controller
is equipped with rechargeable batteries, therefore it is insensitive
to supply voltage decay and it can operate for 72 hours after
voltage failure. After that time a single actuation of the devices
(e.g. opening of smoke vents) is possible.
The control centre has the following features:
• remote actuation of the smoke exhaust system devices
by a signal from a fire signalling control unit (NC volt-free
contact or 24 V= signal),
• manual release by alarm pushbuttons,
• automatic release by conventional (thermal or optical) smoke
sensors,
• indication of the control centre status by LEDs on the front
panel and buzzer,
• integration with manual smoke exhaust pushbutton RPO-1
and alarm pushbutton ROP,
• transmitting information about emergency relese of the control Maximum number of electric actuators powered from the control
centre (NC/NO contact and LED on pushbutton RPO-1), centre depends on the actuator type (current consumption) and
• transmitting information about voltage failure and defects the size of central unit used – load capacity of current outputs,

electrical control system for smoke exhaust and/or daily ventilation – detectors
Optical smoke detectors are used for detection of visible smoke detector DP 652
that accompanies the outbreak of most fires. They permit the
detection of fire in its early stages, while the material is still
smouldering, which usually occurs long before the outbreak of
open flame and noticeable increase of temperature. Detectors are
characterised by resistance to wind, pressure variations, and steam
condensation. They are highly sensitive to visible smoke.
An optical detector consists of a set of two diodes. The first
diode – an infrared LED – transmits a light beam. The second one,
a receiver, is located in a labyrinth tunnel. In normal conditions,
visible light from the outside or from the transmitter diode never
reaches the receiver diode. When smoke penetrates the detector,
the receiver diode starts to receive the light emitted by the
transmitter diode and dispersed by the particles of smoke. This
activates the detector and starts the alarm state.
Detectors are equipped with visual indicators of operation (alarm)
in the form of a LED, which facilitates finding an activated detector. detector DOR-40
In addition, if detectors are located in invisible places, they may be
equipped with external operation indicators.
Detectors are mounted in adequate sockets.
Detectors are approved for use in fire protection systems.

Heat detectors are used for the detection of fire hazards in rooms detector DT 654
where a quick increase of temperature may be expected in the
first stage of fire development, or in places where optical smoke
detectors cannot be used.
There are 2 basic types of heat detectors: fixed temperature type
and differential type.
Fixed temperature detectors react to the exceeding of a fixed
threshold temperature. Temperature measurement is performed
by an electronic thermo-sensitive element.
Differential detectors are equipped with 2 thermo-sensitive
elements (thermistors) – one of them is a reference thermistor and
the other is located in a protruding part of the detector. In normal
conditions the temperature of both thermistors is similar, and in
the case of a quick increase of temperature the second thermistor
heats up much faster than the reference one. This disturbs the

system OSO-MCR is the efficiency of operation – opening and
closing. Special attention should be given to accurate fitting of
the casement to the window frame, not causing the jamming of
these elements.
Window types for use in the window-based smoke exhaust
system OSO-MCR:
• bottom or top hinged windows (to the outside or to the
inside of the building),
• hinged windows with vertical opening axis (to the outside or

mcr kurtyna prosmoke smoke curtain
application
A smoke curtain, as one of the elements of a smoke and heat
ventilation system, is used to separate a smoke container in the
building, within smoke exhaust zones, by division of the space
under the roof or ceiling into smaller parts. In combination with
smoke vents MCR-Prolight and inlet openings, MCR KURTYNA
PROSMOKE permits:
• increasing the operating efficiency of vents by accumulation
of smoke in smoke reservoirs within a zone,
• maintaining escape routes free of smoke, construction of MCR Kurtyna Prosmoke
• reducing the damage caused by smoke and hot gases, MCR KURTYNA PROSMOKE may seal off openings of height max.

wall, using adequately selected fasteners. Correct unrolling of the
fabric and correct positioning of the curtain in the alarm state are
ensured by the linear ballast (bottom bar). In addition, the curtain
position in the alarm state may be fixed by optional side guides
mounted to walls or pillars. The curtain is rolled and unrolled using
an electric actuator powered with safe voltage 24 V=.In the case
of curtains of considerable length, the device is combination of
several modules as described above.
The curtain control system is supplied from mains 230 V~, and in
the case of a mains supply failure it may operate in stand-by state
for 72 hours, and then be actuated once. In addition, the control
system provides monitoring of the supply lines of the curtain
actuator.
