AR200
Assembly and operating instructions
General Instructions
Read these instructions carefully before
installation and use. Keep this manual
for future reference.
The guarantee is only valid if the units
are used in the manner intended by
the manufacturer and in accordance
with the Frico mounting and operating
instructions.
Application area
AR200 is especially suited for
environments with high demands in
respect of design. It is recessed in
ceilings above entry doors and other
small doors where the height is no
greater than 2,5 metres. A low height
makes it possible to install AR200 where
ceiling space is limited. The recessed
installation and low sound level makes
AR200 very discreet.
Protection class: IP20
Operation
Air is drawn in from underneath and
blown out downwards towards the
entrance so that it shields the door
opening and minimises heat loss. To
get the best curtain effect, the unit
must extend the full width of the door
opening.
The grille for directing exhaust air
is adjustable and is normally angled
outwards to achieve the best protection
against incoming cold air. The air speed
is adjusted to the desired airflow.
The efficiency of the air curtain
depends on the air temperature,
pressure differences across the doorway
and any wind pressure.
NOTE! Negative pressure in the
building considerably reduces the
efficiency of the air curtain. The
ventilation should therefore be
balanced!
Installation
AR200 unit is installed horizontally with
the supply air grille facing downwards as
close to the door as possible, concealed
in the false ceiling. The only visible part
of the unit is the underside that is level
with the ceiling.
For the protection of wider doorways,
several units can be mounted next to
each other.
Ensure that the base plate is
accessible and can be fully opened.
The minimum distance from the
outflow to the floor is 1800 mm (see fig.
5).
1.The mounting brackets (x 4, x 6 on
the 2 metre units) are fixed to the unit
during transport. Loosen these, turn
them around and screw into place on
the unit according to figure 1 on p.3.
2.Hang up on threaded bars (M8)
according to figure 2 on p.3 (not
included).
3.Adjust the height using the upper
nut so that the frame is level with the
ceiling. Lock using the lower nut.
Electrical installation
The installation, which should be
preceded by an omnipolar switch with
a contact separation of at least 3 mm,
should only be wired by a competent
electrician and in accordance with the
latest edition of IEE wiring regulations.
1. The base plate/service hatch is
opened by loosening the snap fixings
located on the down side (turn 90°)
and then loosening the base plate
from the rim. See fig. 3 and 4.
2. AR200A: The connection to the unit’s
side or top is made with 2x1,5 mm² +
earth.
AR200E: The connection to the unit’s

side or top is made using a five-core
cable with an earth wire. The largest
cable diameter for the terminal block
is 16 mm².
AR200W: The control cable is
connected via knock outs to the
unit's side or top, with 2x1.5 mm² +
carth.
The cable glands used must meet the
protection class requirements.
3. Close the base plate/service hatch
and make sure that the snap fixings
lock properly.
See wiring diagrams.
AR200E:
The units can be switched
between different outputs and for
230V~/400V3~. The connection box
is located on the right side of the unit,
viewed from inside the room. The
switching block is on the left side. On
the 2 metre unit, the two switching
blocks are located in the middle and the
connection spaces are on the outside.
The 2-metre unit requires dual power
supplies.
Start-up (E)
When the unit is used for the first time
or after a long period of disuse, smoke
or odour may result from dust or dirt
that has collected on the element. This
is completely normal and disappears
after a short time.
Connecting the water coil (W)
The installation must be carried out by
an authorised installer.
The water coil has copper tubes with
aluminium fins and is suitable for
connection to a closed water heating
system. The heating coil must not be
connected to a mains pressure water
system or an open water system.
Note that the unit shall be preceded by
a regulating valve, see for instance Frico
valve kit.
Connections (DN15 (1/2”), inside
thread) to the water heating coil are
located on the top of the unit to the
right (seen from inside the building).
For AR220W the water connection is
located in the middle of the top side of
the unit.
A vent valve should be connected at a
high point in the pipe system. Air- and
draining valves are not included in the
heating coil.
The connections to the heating coil
must be equipped with shut off valves to
allow problem free removal.
NOTE: Care must be taken when
connecting the pipes. Use a wrench
or similar to hold the air-curtain
connections to prevent straining of the
pipes and subsequent water leakage
during connection to water supply pipe-
work.
Adjustment of the air curtain
and air flow
The direction and speed of the air flow
should be adjusted considering the load
on the opening. Pressure forces affect

the air stream and make it bend inwards
into the premises (when the premises
are heated and the outdoor air is cold).
The air stream should therefore be
directed outwards to withstand the load.
Generally speaking, the higher the load,
the greater the angle that is needed.
Basic setting of fan speed
The fan speed when the door is open is
set using the speed control. Note that
the air flow direction and speed may
need fine adjustment depending on the
loading of the door.
Filter (W)
The heating coil is protected by an air
filter which covers the coil face.
Service, repairs and maintenance
For all service, repair and maintenance
first carry out the following:
1.Disconnect the power supply.
2.The base plate/service hatch is opened
by loosening the snap fixings located
on the down side (turn 90°) and then
loosening the base plate from the rim.
See fig. 3 and 4.
3.After service, repair and maintenance
close the base plate/service hatch and
make sure that the snap fixings lock
properly.
Maintenance
The appliance filter should be cleaned
regularly to ensure the air curtain
effect and the heat emission from the
device. How often depends on local
circumstances. A clogged filter is not a
risk, but the appliance function can fail.
1 Disconnect the power.
2.The base plate/service hatch is opened
by loosening the snap fixings located
on the down side (turn 90°) and then
loosening the base plate from the rim.
See fig. 3 and 4.
3 Remove the filter and vacuum clean
or wash it. If the filter is clogged, it may
need to be changed.
Since fan motors and other components
are maintenance free, no maintenance
other than regular cleaning is necessary.
The frequency of cleaning can vary
depending on local conditions, but
undertake cleaning at least twice a year.
Inlet and exhaust grilles, impeller and
elements can be vacuum cleaned or
wiped using a dry cloth. Use a brush
when vacuuming to prevent damaging
sensitive parts. Avoid the use of strong
alkaline or acidic cleaning agents.

is equipped with an overheat protector.
If this is deployed due to overheating,
reset as follows:
1.Disconnect the electricity using the
omnipolar switch.
2.Allow the electrical coil to cool.
3.Determine the cause of overheating
and rectify the fault.
Reset is performed as follows:
1.Locate the red button inside the
air curtain unit. This is visible and
accessible by opening the base plate.
The button is located outside the
connection box. On the 2-metre
variant, a red button is located
outside each connection space.
2.Press the red button until a click is
heard.
3.Connect the air curtain again.
The motors in all the air curtain units
have a built-in thermal safety cut-out
to protect against overheating. This will
reset automatically once the motor has
cooled.

Trouble shooting
If the fans are not working or do not
blow properly, check the following:
• Operating power supply to the unit;
check fuses, circuit-breaker, time
switch/thermostat (if any) that starts
and stops the unit.
• That the air flow selector is correctly
set.
• That the position limit switch is
working.
• That the overheat protection for the
motors has not been deployed.
• That the intake grille is not dirty.
If there is no heat, check the following:
• That the heat demand exists; check
thermostat settings and actual
temperature.
For units with electrical heating, check
the following:
•Power supply to electric heater coil;
check fuses and circuit-breaker (if
any).
•That the overheat protection for the
motors has not been deployed.
For units with water coil, check the
following:
• That the water coil is air free.
• That there is enough water flow.
• That incoming water is heated enough.
If the fault cannot be rectified, please
contact a qualified service technician.
Residual current circuit breaker (E)
When the installation is protected
by means of a residual current
circuit breaker, which trips when
the appliance is connected, this may
be due to moisture in the heating
element. When an appliance containing
a heater element has not been used
for a long period or stored in a damp
environment, moisture can enter the
element.
This should not be seen as a fault, but
is simply rectified by connecting the
appliance to the mains supply via a

socket without a safety cut-out, so that
the moisture can be eliminated from
the element. The drying time can vary
from a few hours to a few days. As a
preventive measure, the unit should
occasionally be run for a short time
when it is not being used for extended
periods of time.
Safety
• For all installations of electrically
heated products should a residual
current circuit breaker 300 mA for
fire protection be used.
• Keep the areas around the air intake
and exhaust grilles free from possible
obstructions!
• During operation the surfaces of the
unit can be hot!
• The unit must not be fully or partially
covered with clothing, or similar
materials, as overheating can result
in a fire risk! (E)
• This appliance can be used by
children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without
supervision.
