Smoke dampers are driven by a motor, referred to as an actuator. A probe connected to the motor is installed in the duct's run and detects smoke, either in the air that has been extracted from or is being supplied to a room, or elsewhere within the duct's run. Once smoke is detected, the actuator automatically closes the smoke damper, and it remains closed until it is manually reopened.
