Sentence 3.1.8.11.(3)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that smoke dampers or combination smoke/fire dampers will not close when activated by fire conditions, which could lead to the spread of smoke from one fire compartment to another fire compartment through openings in the fire separation between the fire compartments, which could lead to damage to the building in the other fire compartment.

Intent 2:

To prevent the operation of all smoke dampers or combination smoke/fire dampers in a building when only the smoke dampers or combination smoke/fire dampers in a fire compartment, where the fire conditions occur, need to close.

Intent 3:

To prevent the reset of all smoke dampers or combination smoke/fire dampers in a building upon every fire condition.
