General
All installations must be in accordance with the regulations in force
in the country of use.
These instructions must be given to the user on completion of the
installation.
Installers and service engineers must be able to demonstrate
competence and be suitably qualified in accordance with the
regulations in force in the country of use.
To ensure continued and safe operation it is recommended that the
appliance is serviced annually.
The fan wheel, air inlet and outlet grilles, need to be cleaned
monthly with a soft brush.
The manufacturer, offers a maintenance service. Details are
available on request.
The air curtain inlet/outlet grille and case air inlet slots must not be
obstructed during use.
Electrical
The appliance must be earthed.
It is recommended that the electrical supply to the air curtain is via
an appropriate switched isolator in accordance with the regulations
in force in the country of use and must be via a fused double pole
isolator having a contact separation of greater than 3mm in all
poles.
Electrically heated supply is 415V 3 phase and neutral max cable
inlet size is 6mm2.
Ambient & LPHW supply is 230V 1phase and neutral max cable inlet
size is 6mm2.
Time switches and thermostats can be installed at the discretion and
responsibility of the installer.
Fixing details
Airbloc units should be installed horizontaly directly over the door
opening. It is recommended that the air curtain is installed on the
inside of the building, within the open room space against a wall or
ceiling. Care must be taken to allow complete free air movement
into the inlet grilles of the unit to ensure correct working operation
of the air curtain. The discharge opening should be as close to the
top of the door as possible and to cover the entire door width.
Clearance distances
It is recommended that a minimum clearance of 200mm is allowed
around the top and front of the unit. The clearance allows for cable
entry and prevents combustible surfaces overheating. The minimum
mounting height (floor to grille outlet) is 1.8m. The recommended
maximum mounting height is 3m for the standard capacity and 4m
for the high capacity. These units are designed for surface
mounting only. Models suitable for recessing into ceilings are
available
Health and Safety
Sole liability rests with the installer to ensure that all site safety
procedures are adhered to during installation.
Sole liability rests with the installer to ensure that protective safety
wear such as hand, eye, ear and head protection is used during
installation of the product.
Do not rest anything especially ladders against the product.
Standards
Units conform to the european electrical standard BS EN 60335-2-
30:1997 and to the following european CE directives. 73/23/EEC low
voltage; 89/336/EEC and 98/68/EEC electromagnetic compatibility.

Step 6
Drill the wall then fix the backbox in position. Lift the chassis
(using lifting gear if necessary) onto the studs on the back box
brackets. Refit and tighten the nuts.
Step 7
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
points of attachment to the building are sound. Consultation
with the consultant/architect or owner of the building is
recommended to ensure that a sound, mechanically stable
installation is achieved.
All attachments must be capable of supporting the weight of the
product detailed in Section 1.
It is recommended that the chassis is removed from the back box to
avoid having to support the weight of the product during
installation. To separate the chassis from the back box undo and
remove the nuts shown and lift the chassis away from the back box.
The product can be installed using either M12 drop rods or
fastened direct to the wall using appropriate sized fixings suitable
for the wall surface and the weight of the product.
Step 1
2 Installation details
Remove all packaging. Remove decorative cover. Undo screws
securing the outlet.
Note All outer metal surfaces are covered by a protective plastic
film, which must be removed before final fixing and operating of
the unit.
Adjust the grille by turning the screw inside with an allen key.

Step 3
Step 5
Step 4
To wall mount the product, position the back box against the wall
at the desired mounting height and mark through the holes in
the back box brackets to enable the wall to be drilled for the
appropriate fixings.

Step 9
Adjust the product to the required height and ensure that it is
fitted level using a spirit level across the back box as required.
Tighten the lock nuts and re-assemble in reverse order. Adjust
outlet to required angle to give desired performance, and tighten
outlet screws.
Holes are provided in the back box for the feed cable to enter the
case. Choose the appropriate hole top rear to suit the installation.

To operate the air curtain
First ensure that the electrical supply to the air curtain heater is
turned on. The panel live neon on the switch box should be
illuminated.
Ensure that the settings of any time-switch or thermostats
incorporated in the installation are in a mode to ensure that the air
curtain can operate.
By switching each rocker switch to the down position the
following combinations of control can be achieved:
•ON 1 & HEAT SET 1 provides low air flow and low heat.
• ON 1 & HEAT SET 2 provides low air flow and high heat.
• ON 2 & HEAT SET 1 provides high air flow and low heat.
• ON 2 & HEAT SET 2 provides high air flow and high heat.
• ON 1 provides low ambient air flow.
• ON 2 provides high ambient air flow.
To switch off the air curtain
For short periods ensure that all the rocker switches are in the up
position.
For longer periods turn off the mains supply isolator.

6 Fault finding
6.1 If the air curtain does not operate after running through the
detail provided in Section 3, then a suitably competent service
engineer should be called to identify the nature of the fault.
Note The manufacturer operates a service function from the address
provided in these instructions.
All Air Curtains are fitted with fuse protection and motor thermal
protection.
Other faults in relation to the element, motor and wiring should be
identified using conventional fault finding techniques.
In the event that electrical components are replaced, please ensure
that electrical safety checks in accordance with the regulations in
force in the country of use are undertaken
6.2 Electrical Heaters only, for the service engineer, please note that
there is a thermal cut-out incorporated in the air curtain which
needs to be manually reset. The cut-out is located near to the
mains terminal block.
Re-setting the thermal cut-out may help to identify the nature of
the fault however we do not recommend re-set without a
thorough investigation into why the cut-out operated.
