The Airbloc slimline is a range of
aesthetic high quality air curtains
designed for surface mounting to suit
applications such as hotels, cinemas,
retail outlets, commercial premises, cold
rooms or any similar environment where
doors are frequently open. They provide
environmental separation by using a
curtain of ambient or heated air that acts
as a protected barrier to maintain
comfort conditions within the building or
prevent the ingress of dust and flying
insects.
Airbloc slimline is available in single units
to suit door widths from 700mm to 2
metres and can be combined to cover any
width of door. Electrically heated units
are available in standard or high capacity
versions with the standard capacity
suitable for door heights up to 2.5 metres
and the high capacity suitable for door
heights up to 3.5 metres. Mini series
models to suit door widths of 700 and to
suit door heights up to 2.3 metres.
External air, gases dust
and insects excluded
Heated air remains
inside maintaining
internal environment
conditions and
saving energy.

2. Product range selection guide

Airbloc slimline units should be installed
horizontally directly over the door
opening. It is recommended that the air
curtain is installed on the inside of the
building, withn the open room space
against a wall or ceiling as shown in
Figures 2 to 4. Care must be taken to
allow complete free air movement into
the inlet grilles of the unit to ensure cor-
rect working operation of the air curtain.
For ceiling mounted installations, a clear
distance must be allowed to the top of
the unit for wiring. The discharge
opening should be as close to the top of
the door as possible and to cover the
entire door width. Depending on size and
the model of the air curtain either
brackets or fixing plates are supplied.
Typical fixing methods are shown in
Figures 2 to 4.
Note Fixing rings are standard items for
the AS70 & AS80 only, (the AS80 has
swivel bracket for alternative fixing), all
other types of air curtains are supplied
with brackets as standard.

Ambient models
All slimline ambient air curtains require
230V, 1ph, 50Hz supply via a 3 core cable
for connection to the mains isolator.
ON/OFF and HIGH/LOW settings are
operated via a remote switchbox (See
Figure 13).
For details on interconnection between
heater and switchbox please refer to
section 12.
Electrically heated models
AS70SE04 models require 230V, 1ph,
50Hz supply via a 3 core cable for
connection to the mains isolator. ON/OFF
and HIGH/LOW settings are operated via
switches located on the front of the unit.
(See Figure 17).
AS80SE03 models require 230V, 1ph,
50Hz supply via a 3 core cable for
connection to the mains isolator. Heat
and fan settings are operated via a
remote switchbox. (See Section 6).
AS100SE06 - AS200HE18 models should
be connected to a 415V, 3ph, 50Hz supply
via a 5 core cable for connection to the
mains isolator and to the terminal block
on top of the unit. Heat and fan settings
are controlled via a remote switchbox.
(See Figure 14).
It is also possible for the 6kW model to be
connected to a single phase system by
linking the R, S,and T terminal blocks
together. (See Figure 15).
Electrical connections must always be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
electrician wired in accordance with this
installation manual.
For details on interconnection between
heater and switchbox. Please refer to
section 12.
Cabling should be 5 core 2.5mm dia for
heating capacity up to 9kW. For heaters
up to 18kW a 5 core 4mm dia cable
should be used.
Always use the ON/OFF switch on the
remote switch box to operate the unit.
DO NOT operate the air curtain by means
of the mains isolator switch. On the
AS70SE04 use ON/OFF switch on the air
curtain.
WARNING
Before installation carefully read the
instruction manual and labels on the
upper side of the air curtain and remote
switchbox connection box. Before final
connection check earthing of the supply.

Ambient models
Are supplied with a remotely sited
switchbox. ON/OFF, HI/LOW fan speed
can be activated from the switchbox.
(See Figure 16).
Electrically heated models
AS70SE04 are supplied with ON/OFF,
HI/LOW heat settings. Switches are
located adjacent to the outlet grilles. No
remote switchbox is available. (See Figure
17)
AS80SE03 are supplied with a remotely
sited switchbox. ON/OFF, HI/LOW fan
speed, HI/LOW heat settings can be
activated from the switchbox. (See Figure
18).
AS100SE06 - AS200HE18 are supplied
with a remotely sited switchbox. ON/OFF,
HI/MED/LOW fan speed, HI/MED/LOW
heat settings can be activated from the
switchbox. (See Figure 19).
Air Curtains must not be controlled by
the mains isolator. The remote control
panel or the integral control switches
must be used.

Airbloc slimline air curtains may be
specially ordered with remote infra-red
control. (See Figure 20).
This feature greatly simplifies on site
wiring and eliminates low level switches
and unauthorised adjustment. The hand
held controllers operate up to a maximum
distance of 10m from the unit and a
radius of +15˚.
A single infra-red control can operate
multiple air curtains installed in one area.

All air curtains are equipped with a very
flexible and simple discharge air outlet
that facilitate regular and smooth air
flow. Using these outlets it is possible to
adjust air flow angle up to 15˚ from the
vertical. Once the outlets are adjusted
the position can be maintained by
tightening the fixing screws (See Figure
21).
Airflow may be adjusted according to

Airbloc air curtain are simple to operate
and maintain. It is recommended that
they are maintained on a regular basis to
the following procedures.
Regularly clean fans and air grilles with a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush. To gain
access to fans release air grilles by
quarter turn screws and remove.
For electrically heated models the
electrical elements should be cleaned
carefully with a soft brush only when
completely cool.
Note If fans vibrate or are noisy the fans
may have been damaged.
