alarm sensor
Don’t place the magnetic switch close to an alarm
sensor. The alarm sensor magnet will interfere with it.
Remove the magnetic switch connection and test if
the magnetic switch is defective.
The air curtain
doesn’t turn on.
(Make sure your
power outlet is
120V before
plugging in. Some
old air curtains
might use 240V)
The magnetic
switch is defective
or loosen
connection
Remove the magnetic switch connection, directly
connect the 2 yellow wires together then test the air
curtain. 80% of the failure is due to the magnetic
switch setup. Don’t use oversize screws, and make
sure the connection is secure.
Circuit board
failure
Toggle the magnetic switch and the switch buttons;
hear if “Tic-Tac” sounds from the relay on the circuit
board. No sound means no power to motor from
circuit board.
Remote control is
not working
Remote control is
defective
Make sure the batteries are installed correctly.
Motor doesn’t run.
But if push the fan
wheel, motor slowly
rotates or rotates
reversely
Startup capacitor

Check if the 2 yellow/orange wires securely connect
to the capacitor under the motor. Remove the fan
wheels and motor to get access if needed.
After above
troubleshoot
processes, motor
still doesn’t turn on
Motor is defective

motor’s white wire and the blue wire to check if it is
open. Open means defective.
