RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Upon receiving the product, check to make sure all
items are accounted for by referencing the Bill of Lading
to ensure all items were received. Inspect each carton
for shipping damage before accepting delivery. Notify
the freight carrier if any damage is noticed. The carrier
will make notification on the delivery receipt
acknowledging any damage to the product. All damage
should be noted on all copies of the Bill of Lading which
is countersigned by the delivering carrier. A Carrier
Inspection Report should be filled out by the carrier
upon arrival and a report given to the Traffic
Department. If damaged upon arrival, file a claim
immediately with the carrier. Any physical damage to
the unit after acceptance is not the responsibility of
Mars Air Systems.
UNPACKING
Verify that all parts, components and accessories, and
the correct quantities of each have been received. If any
items are missing, report shortages to Mars Air
Systems directly to arrange for obtaining the missing
items. Again, verify quantities received against those on
the Bill of Lading only, as multiple shipments may be
involved.
INSTALLATION
Typical Mounting – Wall or Ceiling Mounted
Horizontally Above the Door Opening
1. Overhead installation is recommended to prevent
the possibility of the unit falling if the wall to which
the unit is mounted is hit by a truck or material
handling device. If however, wall or bracket
mounting is preferred, additional holes may be
drilled in the side panels of the housing.
Note: Bracket/Support mounting is not generally
recommended for Air Curtains equipped with steam
or hot water coils. Overhead installation using
threaded rods with independent suspension of coils
is recommended.
2. Center the unit over the opening. The air curtain
shall be equal to or greater than the width of the
opening.
3. Four pre-punched 1/2” mounting holes on the top of
the unit are provided for your convenience. These
holes must be utilized to secure the product
overhead. All hardware is field provided by others.
4. Mount the product such that the discharge is 1”
above the opening and all obstacles. (FIG. 1)
Note: If the product is installed higher than the
recommended 1” above the opening, then it must be
moved 3/8” away from the wall for every 1” that it is
moved up. Any void between the wall and the product
must be sealed, by others, to optimize performance.
FIG. 1
5. Use four (4) threaded rods for overhead installation
or four (4) threaded bolts for wall installation. All
hardware is field provided by others. (FIG. 1)
6. If applicable, for tandem installation or products
mounted side by side, allow no more than 6”
between the two products. For overhead installation
using threaded rods, the products may require a
beam, by others, to span the full distance of the
mounting length. (Reference Accessory
Installation Supplement)
7. All wires must be connected to the external junction
box(s) of the unit.
8. The unit must be wired per NEC and local codes.
Electrical Field Wiring
The unit and any optional accessories must be wired
with the proper voltage to the junction box per the wiring
diagram. (FIG. 2, unheated products only)
Precaution should be taken in explosive atmospheres.
