Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the armature assembly function during a fire alarm event?
A: When the building fire alarm activates, it interrupts power to the FS operator circuit. The armature de-energizes, releasing the electromagnetic hold, and the door closes automatically under spring or gravity force to contain fire and smoke as required by fire code.
Q: What other Genie FS components work with the armature assembly?
A: Related FS system components include: 112249 end-of-line (EOL) resistor, 112325 EOLR relay, and 112007 FS key switch. These components work together to form a complete compliant fire safety door operator circuit.
Q: How frequently should the FS armature assembly be tested?
A: The armature assembly should be tested at intervals specified by NFPA 80 and local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements, typically monthly or annually. Test by activating the fire alarm circuit and confirming the door releases and closes fully and freely.
Q: Are there code compliance requirements for the fire safety armature installation?
A: Yes. Fire safety door operator installations are subject to NFPA 80 (Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives) and must comply with local fire codes. The installation must be inspected and listed by the AHJ. Do not modify the FS circuit without consulting a qualified fire door technician.
Q: What are the signs of a failing FS armature assembly?
A: Failure symptoms include the door not holding in the open position when energized (indicating armature face contamination or coil failure), door not releasing on fire alarm activation (indicating wiring or relay fault), or the armature overheating. Contact Genie technical support and do not operate the door manually as a workaround - repair or replace promptly.
