IMO has announced that its Jaguar NXG Variable Speed Drive range has received approval from Elta UK for use with selected Smokevent Axial Fan applications, extending the range of tested drive options available for smoke control, ventilation and life-safety systems. The approval provides system designers, panel builders, contractors and specifiers with additional confidence when selecting a variable speed drive for compatible Elta UK fan installations. In smoke control applications, verified product compatibility is critical because system performance depends on the coordinated operation of every component under demanding emergency conditions. Elta UK holds UKCA Certificate of Constancy of Performance No. 0086 CPR 750823 in respect of BS EN 12101-3:2015, the standard covering powered smoke and heat control ventilators. The certificate applies to Elta UK powered smoke and heat control ventilator products, including Smokevent Axial Fans, with fire-resistance classifications available across F200, F300 and F400 configurations, depending on the specific fan model and application requirements. The Jaguar NXG is IMO’s latestgeneration variable speed drive. It has been developed to support compact installation, flexible motor control and straightforward commissioning across modern fan, HVAC and automation systems. Its inclusion within Elta UK’s approved drive options gives project teams a current, space-efficient solution for applications where compatibility, reliability and compliance-led design are essential. Variable speed drives are a vital contribution to ventilation and smoke control system design. By regulating motor speed and output, a drive can help engineers manage airflow, optimise normal operating efficiency and simplify control strategies. However, life-safety applications require more than standard motor-control functionality. The selected fan and drive combination must be suitable for the intended duty and supported by the relevant testing, approval and system documentation. The Jaguar NXG approval builds on a long established relationship between IMO and Elta UK. Previous approvals have covered IMO’s SD1, HD2 and HD2IP Variable Speed Drive ranges. Adding Jaguar NXG broadens the choice available to customers and enables designers to select an inverter drive that best matches the installation environment, control requirements and panel configuration. For building-services engineers and contractors, the approval will also support a more streamlined specification and procurement process. Using a tested and approved combination reduces uncertainty during design reviews, panel manufacture, commissioning and project handover, while helping to maintain a clear compliance trail. For project teams, the expanded approval portfolio offers greater flexibility when standardising control equipment across multiple ventilation duties. The Jaguar NXG sits alongside IMO’s established drive ranges, allowing engineers to balance enclosure, footprint and control needs without moving outside of an approved product family. This continuity can simplify training, spare-parts planning and longterm maintenance across buildingservices installations, upgrades and refurbishment programmes. The IMO Jaguar NXG range is supported by technical expertise and industryleading warranties, providing an additional level of assurance for customers working across smoke control, HVAC, ventilation and wider fan-control projects.
