ACCESSORY INSTALLATION SUPPLEMENT
Door Limit and Magnetic Reed Switches
1. Mars door limit and magnetic reed switches are
available with NEMA 1, 4X and 7 ratings. Contact the
factory for additional ratings and details. (See FIG. 1
for typical single swing, hinged door type, door limit
switch installation)
FIG. 1
2. Use light gauge materials when field fabricating
brackets to activate and deactivate the door limit
switch(s). (FIG. 2) Figure 2 also shows the typical
installation of the combination plunger/roller type
NEMA 1 door limit switch, for all non-hinged style
doors.
FIG. 2
3. All wiring must be per local and NEC (National Electric
Code) codes.
4. Panels or controllers may be required. Refer to wiring
diagram inside the control panel box.

Bracket Installation
1. Side Extension Plates: For doorways wider than the air
curtain, use combination of Side Extension Plates and
Adjustable Mounting Brackets. (FIG. 5)
FIG. 5 (LPV SHOWN)
2. Adjustable Mounting Brackets: For installation of air
curtain over drum-style roll-up door, use Extended
Wall Mounting Brackets. (FIG. 6)
FIG. 6 (STD SHOWN)
3. Extended Wall Mounting: For Tandem Mounting of air
curtain over sectional style door, use either wall
mounting angle brackets or threaded rods.
4. Top Mounting Brackets: For overhead installation of
units, use in conjunction with the threaded holes
provided on top of unit.
Note: Angle brackets, threaded rods and I Beams are
provided by others. (FIGS. 7 & 8) All optional brackets
are not available for WMI/WMH and BD Series.

WINDGUARD BELT DRIVE (BD) INDUSTRIAL SERIES
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate, or maintain
the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with these
instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Retain these instructions for future reference.
OVERVIEW
Mars Air Curtains are
designed to cover door
openings, providing
both temperature
control/environmental
separation and flying
insect control when the
building’s doors are
opened. Typical
installation heights are:
BD-14 Series
(Environmental Separation up 16’ and Flying Insect
Control 14’), BD-18 Series (Environmental
Separation up 20’ and Flying Insect Control 18’),
BD-22 Series (Environmental Separation up 24’
and Flying Insect Control 22’), BD-26 Series
(Environmental Separation up 28’ and Flying Insect
Control 26’) and BD-30 Series (Environmental
Separation up 32’ and Flying Insect Control 30’).
The units are typically overhead mounted
horizontally above the door opening. They can also
be vertically mounted alongside the opening.
Heated units must be mounted on the inside or the
protected side of the opening. The motors used in
the BD Series range from 5 HP to 30 HP (see
submittal for details).
All the BD Series come standard with an expanded
metal air intake grille(s). The BD Series can be
configured with Flat Bank or V-Bank Sections, as
options.
