Actuator access/power/control clearance not coordinated
For motorized fire/smoke dampers, physical access is only part of the job. Confirm who owns actuator power/control wiring before calling the damper complete.
This combination damper is installed, but I do not know if controls/electrical has completed the actuator wiring. Who owns that scope before ceiling close?
Watch out
Do not treat damper or rated-assembly work like normal duct.
Check
Verify actuator/control side has working access.
Confirm with foreman whether electrical, controls, or sheet metal owns final connection on this project.
Do not let ceiling close until wiring/control access status is known.
Document incomplete wiring/control items by room/grid/damper tag.
