Famous Series
• Type A (Glazed): PC / polycarbonate / glass options to deliver natural lighting and reduce artificial lighting energy.
• Type B (Non glazed): optimized for areas where daylight is not required.
• Form: low profile aesthetic with versatile sizing for different building modules.
Product Overview
Famous is a natural ventilation and smoke relief system that pairs high airflow efficiency with a clean, low profile form factor. It installs on roofs or vertical walls, and is available either with glazing (Type A) for daylighting or without glazing (Type B) where lighting isn’t required. Electric or pneumatic actuation is supported, making Famous suitable for daily ventilation, over heating relief, and emergency smoke extraction in industrial and commercial buildings. It is designed to meet internationally recognized requirements (EN 12101 2, VdS 2159).
Key Features
• Dual installation flexibility — roof or wall mounting with a compact silhouette that integrates cleanly with varied façades and rooflines.• Ventilation + smoke relief in one — aerodynamically optimized form supports natural smoke exhaust and daily ventilation.
• Daylighting option — Type A accepts PC/polycarbonate/glass glazing; Type B is non glazed for pure ventilation duty.
• Controls to suit the project — electric or pneumatic drives; easy tie in to building controls for reliable operation.
Drives, Performance & Compliance
• Linear drive: 500–3000 N thrust; IP54 ingress protection; endurance tested to 10,000 double strokes at 1000 N rated load.• Pneumatic cylinders: Ø32/50 mm, 6/8 mm joints; bi directional design with safety locking to prevent unintended motion on pressure loss/over pressure.
• Standards: designed to comply with EN 12101 2 and VdS 2159; fire testing per DIN 18232 3 (30 minute high temperature test as specified).
Controls & Integration
• Electric or pneumatic actuation as standard.• Compatible with BMS/life safety signaling for smoke control strategies; supports manual switches and typical environmental sensors when specified.
Options & Accessories
• Thermally broken profile for improved thermal performance.• Fall protection safety net under opening zones.
• Mechanical self locking device for additional stability.
• Wall louver rain cover and interface/curb customization for roof/wall transitions.
Typical Applications
• Industrial plants, logistics halls, and commercial roofs requiring reliable air vent louvers with an architectural, low profile look.• Wall mounted louvered ventilator banks with optional rain covers where weathering exposure is significant.
Resources for Architects & Contractors
• Submittals with plan/section details, mounting and flashing for roof or wall conditions.• Control schematics for electric/pneumatic actuation and alarm/BMS interfaces.
Models at a Glance
• Famous – Type A (Glazed): daylighting + ventilation/smoke relief.• Famous – Type B (Non glazed): ventilation/smoke relief without daylighting.

FAQ
1. Q: What’s the difference between Famous Type A and Type B?A: Type A includes glazing (PC/polycarbonate/glass) to add natural daylighting; Type B is non glazed for ventilation/smoke relief only. Both share the same low profile look and drive options.
2. Q: Can Famous be used as a wall mounted weather louver with rain cover?
A: Yes. For vertical applications, specify the wall louver rain cover and appropriate flashing/drainage detailing to manage wind driven rain.
3. Q: Is this suitable for “ceiling louver / ceiling louvers” applications?
A: “Ceiling louver” usually refers to interior grilles/diffusers. Famous is an exterior louvered ventilator for roof or wall. If you need interior return/supply, use HVAC ceiling diffusers; for building envelope ventilation and smoke relief, Famous is the correct choice. (Keyword clarification.)
4. Q: Which drive should I choose — electric or pneumatic?
A: Electric simplifies wiring and position feedback; pneumatic is preferred where plant air is available or for intrinsically safe strategies. Both integrate with life safety/BMS signaling.
