Why Smoke Ventilation Control (SVC) is the smart and cost-effective choice for smoke ventilation
In modern industrial and commercial buildings, a certified smoke ventilation system is essential. With Smoke Ventilation Control (SVC), RDA offers an advanced and certified control system for industrial doors (230V) that fully complies with the strictest European standards.
But what makes SVC the smart choice for installers, door manufacturers and building owners?
We spoke to RDA in Hobro again about the unique benefits of SVC and the direct savings the system can provide.
A smoke ventilation system must always be operational – even when the power goes out. SVC has an efficient emergency power supply that ensures full operation for up to 72 hours after a power failure.
Christian and Tanja: “Many standard battery systems wear out quickly and require frequent replacement. Thanks to the high-quality batteries and electronics used in our system, however, it lasts significantly longer. This can save the end user up to approximately DKK 3,780 (€506) over five years through lower maintenance costs and fewer replacements.”
RDA fully stands behind the quality of the components used in SVC. That is why the system comes with attractive warranty conditions:
This gives installers and end users peace of mind knowing they have a reliable installation that will perform for many years – without unexpected costs.
With many control systems, torque decreases as the door speed increases. This is not the case with SVC.
Christian and Tanja: “The torque does not decrease as the speed increases. In an emergency situation, the door must move to the preset RWA position in a controlled and uninterrupted manner. Our system guarantees the full power of the drive unit, regardless of the speed.”
Time is money on site. That is why SVC has been developed with a focus on making the installer's work as simple as possible.
The cable is pre-installed on the control system and fitted with connectors, allowing the system to be connected directly to a frequency-controlled drive unit. This significantly reduces installation time while also minimising the risk of wiring errors.
Long lead times can quickly delay an entire construction project. RDA keeps SVC well stocked in Scandinavia, allowing us to respond quickly whenever a project requires it.
Strict requirements for smoke and heat exhaust (RWA) apply in Northern Europe and throughout the rest of Europe. SVC has been extensively tested, approved in accordance with DP027 and fully certified according to EN 12101-10.
This gives installers, door manufacturers and building owners confidence that their project meets the relevant requirements for the completion of both new and renovated buildings.
Whether you are a door manufacturer, installer or door dealer, SVC offers the perfect balance between certified safety, easy installation and a low Total Cost of Ownership.
