For a reliable smoke and heat extraction system (SHEV), the interaction between all components is crucial. At VdS-FireSafety, GEZE will be showcasing the Slimchain and Powerchain window drives in combination with the Powerlock locking drive, as well as other solutions. These solutions are complemented by the MBZ 300 N8 and THZ SHEV control panels, as well as the IQ box Safety. Another highlight is the additional control unit for motor locks, GC Lock Control SHEV, for SHEV air inlet doors. It enables the connection of standard motor locks and reduces the amount of cabling required between the air inlet door and the SHEV control panel to just two cables. This simplifies planning and installation in both new construction projects and refurbishments.

GEZE demonstrates how different requirements relating to fire protection, security and ease of access can be combined using a multifunctional door fitted with the Powerturn Self-Evacuation swing door drive. This enables accessible self-evacuation even in the event of an alarm and ensures that the door closes securely afterwards. If the hold-open system is activated, the automatic drive assists with opening the door, whether the door is opened manually or the push-button is pressed. If a local alarm is triggered, the door can be opened again. However, the door still closes with sufficient security automatically, in accordance with fire protection requirements. The new TS 7000 generation of door closers will also be on display at the stand. Thanks to its innovative Easyflow technology, this multi-award-winning door closer combines exceptionally smooth opening with reliable closing. It therefore meets high standards of accessibility and safety, even in challenging installation situations.
