Introduction
The Building Regulations (England & Wales) 2010, The Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and The
Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 as are recognised as functional code addressing the design of
buildings with performance-based requirements. The current Building Regulations has been developed and
continue to be developed over a number of years. The enforcement of these Regulations is by Building
Control Authorities or Approved Inspectors at local and national level. A vital part of the development of
these standards is the involvement of industry and nationally recognised organisations in building product
development and the protection of public health, safety and welfare.
Attention is also drawn to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 as
amended, the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland)
2010.

3 Safety Precautions
This product must be installed and commissioned by trained and approved Coopers Fire Ltd. personnel
under the IFC SDI05 Scheme for Installers of Smoke & Fire Barrier Assemblies recognized by United
Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). Incorrect installation or operation can potentially cause personal
injury and/or damage to the system. Warning notices are given throughout where hazards and risks need to
be observed.
This manual shall be read in full before proceeding with the installation works. For any questions or
uncertainties you may have before proceeding with the installation, contact Coopers Fire Ltd.
This product is designed as a “life safety” system and is not designed for day-to-day use.
It is the owner’s legal obligation to periodically test the systems in accordance with guidance set out in
BS 9999:2008 or BS 9991:2012, and by the law where regulation exists. The owner may wish to engage in
a pro-active servicing contract for this “life safety” system which shall be serviced by those qualified to do
so that are under the IFC SDI05 Scheme for Installers of Smoke & Fire Barrier Assemblies recognized by
United Kingdom Accreditation Service. (UKAS).
Installation or use that is not in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions may lead to
impairment of the safety of the equipment.

5.1 Control Panel Mounting
The Control Panel has 4 fixing holes, all of which must be used.
The Power Supply must be secured using the approved fixings below.
Please note: it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the
substrate to which the control panel is to be fitted is suitable and
complies with the recommendations below.

Clearance must be allowed below the Control Panel for the cable connections and fuse access.
The Control Panel should be installed in a suitable location to allow maintenance but also to protect the unit
from mechanical damage or tampering.
Where the effects of fire could result in the failure or incorrect operation of the fire curtain barriers for the
appropriate fire resistance of the compartment, all electrical wiring, the drive mechanism, the control
equipment, etc. shall be rated to 300 °C or located such that it is not exposed to temperatures above its
operational rating. This is of particular importance where Emergency Retract buttons are supplied.

5.1.1 Connection Cover Mounting (Optional)
If provided, the MK5 Connection Cover is to be mounted directly underneath the MK5 Control Panel so it is
flush up against it. Additional clearance will be required below the MK5 Control Panel to accommodate this.
The Connection Cover needs to be positioned to the far left on the MK5 Control Panel so that the cut out of
the enclosure fits around the foot of the MK5 to retain full access to the fuses on the right.
The Connection Cover comes with 4 Qty
fixing holes located inside the body of the
enclosure, the same fixings used on the MK5
Control Panel are to be used.
There are a total of 15 Qty knock out points
located around the sides and bottom of the
enclosure. These can be fitted with the
standard 20mm diameter cable glands.
Once the enclosure has been mounted and
all the cables secured, the lid can then be slid
over the top to sit underneath the MK5
Control Panel lid and be secured using the 2
Qty fixing holes.
Note: Please ensure there is suitable clearance on the right-hand side to maintain easy
access to the 3 Qty fuse holders.
5.1.2 BMS Interface Mounting (Optional)
If supplied, the MK5 BMS Interface unit will need to be mounted locally to the MK5 Control Panel. Two of
these Interfaces will be required for full BMS (Curtain status and Battery status).
The Interface unit will need to be installed
by using the 4 Qty 4mm diameter fixing
points inside the enclosure. M3 fixings are
to be used to install.

7 Commissioning
7.1 Initial Setup
Commissioning should not be attempted until the installation of the headbox, roller, bottom
bar and side guides (if required) have been fitted and all required accessories have been
connected.
If at any time you are not happy with the settings or you want to start again, power the unit down
fully by removing the Battery Fuse and mains power lead, ensuring the curtain is in the deployed
position beforehand.
1) Ensure that all accessory devices are connected to the unit before commencing commissioning.
Do not fit the battery fuse until instructed by the display.
2) Once the curtain is fully deployed the MK5 can be turned on. Connect the mains lead.
The MK5 will commence its start-up procedure. This will take approximately 5 seconds.
The MK5 will display ‘Testing LEDs’ for a few seconds and all three LEDs will be lit.
The display changes to ‘Please insert battery fuse’. The unit will be beeping.
Fit the Battery fuse.
3) Assuming that the accessory fuse is ok the MK5 will display ‘Fuses OK’ for a few seconds. If the
accessory fuse is not in place or has blown, the MK5 will indicate this.
The display changes to one of the following:
All Relays are NC when unpowered.
RL2 + 3 open on activation.
