Connecting the water coil (W)
The installation must be carried out by an
authorised installer.
The water coil has copper tubes with
aluminium ns 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 Frico valve kit.
Valves must be installed outside the unit.
Note that the actuator needs power supply and
control signal from the integrated PC board.
NOTE: Care must be taken when connecting
the pipes. Use a pipe wrench or a similar
tool to grip the air curtain connections to
prevent straining of the pipes and subsequent
water leakage during connection to the water
supply pipe-work.
The connections to the heating coil must be
equipped with shut off valves to allow trouble-
free removal.
A vent valve should be connected at a high
point in the pipe system. Flexible hoses are
available as accessories.
Vertical mounting
The water coil is connected on the top or the
bottom of the unit via connections DN25 (1’’),
internal thread. See product key.
Connections made from below the unit
must be prepared in the oor according to
the drawing. A drilling template for the oor
is included in delivery and also available at
www.frico.net. Note the distance between the
water connections and the end of the unit. See
the introduction pages.
Horizontal mounting
The water coil is connected on the top of the
unit via connections DN20 (3/4’’), internal
thread.
Maintenance
Unit with water heating
The appliance lter should be cleaned regularly
to ensure the air curtain effect and heat
emission from the device. How often depends
on local circumstances. A clogged lter is not a
risk, but the appliance function can fail.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the inlet grill to acces the lter.
3. Remove the lter and vacuum clean or wash
it. If the lter is clogged or damaged, it may
need to be changed.
All units
Since fan motors and other components are
maintenance-free, no maintenance other than
cleaning is necessary. The level of cleaning can
vary depending on local conditions. Undertake
cleaning at least twice a year. Inlet and exhaust
grilles, impeller and elements can be vacuum
cleaned or wiped using a damp cloth. Use a
brush when vacuuming to prevent damaging
sensitive parts. Avoid the use of strong alkaline
or acidic cleaning agents.
Basic setting fan speed
The fan speed when the door is open is
set using the control. Note that the airow
direction and the fan speed may need ne
adjustment depending on the loading of the
door.
Filter (W)
The water coil is protected against dirt and
blockage by an internal air lter which covers
the coil face.
Service, repairs and maintenance
For all service, repair and maintenance rst
carry out the following:
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. See previous section on how to remove front,
inlet grill and cover panel behind it.
3. After service, repairs and maintenance fasten
the parts that have been removed.
Adjustment of the air curtain and airow
The direction and speed of the airow should
be adjusted considering the load on the
opening. Pressure forces affect the airstream
and force it inwards towards the premises
(when the premises are heated and the
outdoor air is cold).
The airstream should, therefore, be directed
outwards to withstand the load. Generally
speaking, the higher the load, the greater the
angle required.
Temperature control
Temperature control of FC maintains the
exhaust temperature. Should the temperature
exceed the preset value, the overheating alarm
will activate. For more information see the FC
manual.
