Fire and smoke electronic damper actuators
The right fire and smoke device matters when lives matter. Reduce risk with OpenAir™
A comprehensive fire and life safety plan requires a strategic combination of fire and smoke detection, suppression and containment for both active and passive fire protection. Fire and smoke dampers help contain smoke, toxic gases and fire from spreading throughout the building to aid protection of people, property and assets. The right device matters to operate a fire and smoke damper system…not only is it important to meet UL555 and UL555S standards, it’s imperative the devices used mitigate any risk to life safety, are long-lasting and reliable when needed. OpenAir™ actuators uniquely integrate with our patented electronic fusible link for reduced risk and improved protection.

Consulting Specifying Engineer Product of the Year 2020
The OpenAir™ series Fire and Smoke Damper Actuators are our award winning Consulting-Specifying Engineer’s 2020 Product of the Year! These fire and smoke damper actuators help you achieve better fire and smoke life safety performance.
OpenAir fire and smoke damper actuators meet the UL555S standard and the damper manufacturers carry the UL555S listing with their assemblies (damper + actuator). The actuators uniquely integrate with our patented electronic fusible link using a low-voltage electrical connection. With other brands, damper assemblies and installations can vary drastically. OpenAir's unique integrated design changes the game. No extra hardware is required (junction box, conduit, etc.) and everything easily goes together improving assembly consistency and eliminating risk of faulty installation.
