Introducing the PyroDuet: Automatic Shield from Smoke & Fire
The PyroDuet is an automatic shield designed to prevent the spread of smoke and fire through communal ventilation systems. Equipped with internal sensors, it quickly detects smoke, heat, and humidity. In the event of smoke or fire, the Pyro valve shuts down the ventilation port, ensuring immediate smoke isolation. Additionally, the valve permanently closes in response to fire heat, providing a minimum of 90 minutes of protection from fire and smoke transmission, certified as EI90S by EN13501.
The PyroDuet offers two mechanical operations for shutting down:
- Servo Motor: The servo motor operates instantly through electronic sensing of smoke and the rate of temperature rise, with battery backup.
- Spring: The spring releases and closes the valve when the heat exceeds 700°C.
The PyroDuet acts as a means of compartmentalizing the ventilation system, separating it from adjoining rooms and any dwellings on the same ventilation run. It is suitable for terminal vent devices on ventilation systems, providing independent automatic smoke and fire protection. By isolating the centralized duct system, it offers containment from localized fires. The PyroDuet is applicable to various settings, including individual homes, tower and block complexes, as well as commercial and industrial ventilation systems.
PyroDuet Operation
The smoke sensor detects smoke or fire, triggering the servo-controlled valve to shut off the vent port immediately. The sensing system incorporates temperature rate of rise detection and a humidity sensor to counter airborne moisture particulate interference. The system can be connected through a phone app. All electronics are sustained by an onboard Li-ion battery that remains on trickle charge. In the case of a mains failure, the battery ensures operation for a minimum of 100 minutes. The sprung mechanical 700°C melt system serves as a secondary fail-safe mechanism.

- Servo-operated fire smoke valve.
- Thermal fuse backup for fire smoke isolation.
- Smoke seal, -20 to 11,000°C for 90 minutes.
- 7-layer dynamic valve seal protection.
- App connectivity.
- Humidity-compensated smoke detection.
Note: Please verify and ensure accuracy of technical details and certifications with the official product documentation.
PyroDuet Installation
The PyroDuet requires all duct work to be cleaned before installation.
Electrical
The device is supplied with a remote 12v SELV supply, this fits on to a standard one gang box, this can be connected to the lighting circuit being less than 10 watts maximum, preferably isolation with key switch. It can also be connected directly to the circuit providing that RCD protection exists.
Training is recommended, with certification upon completion for installers. Option available for Commissioning by PyroSafe upon completion of project. For more information please contact our customer support or see our website for product details and a detailed installation guide.
IMPORTANT: All ventilation metal to metal connection, use only fire resistant mastic.
For air pressure consistency throughout your ventilation systems use AutoFlow Pressure Valve.
Duct work to be cleaned to TR/19 before installation.
For the Specifier
Supply and fit the PyroDuet Part Number “PD100 EI90S” vent terminal device, comprising Dual electromechanical Smoke & Fire Valve shutter assembly, with integral battery back up and mains connected 12v SELV power supply all as FS90S, replacing the existing terminal port, use metal adaptors and backplate as required to suit sizing, use App to Test and Name the device specific to the installed location on completion, all names and date of installation to form part of completion report, testing and installation as manufacturers instruction. Existing ventilation ductwork to be cleaned prior to the start of the installation
Maintenance & Guarantee
Cleaning and Testing within first 2 years of installation date (units guaranteed for 2 years), this involves wiping over the terminal cover. Removing the front cover and using a vacuum hoover with suitably sized attachment, remove all dust and detritus, clean the inside of the front cover. Connect with the phone App. Confirm shutter operation as well as battery condition.
Repeat as a minimum within every two years.
After 5 years we would recommend manufacturers service and at 10 years replacement battery and test smoke sensor.
