Tubus
−For operation in a flammable environment, the operating company must take
special safety and fire protection precautions according to local fire protection
regulations.
If these guidelines are not fulfilled, the system may not be put into operation. The
Tubus air curtain system is exclusively designed to create flows and/or curtains of air
to separate different air masses in entrances of buildings protected from humidity.
Incoming cold air is met with a reverse air flow which stops the room getting cold.
Tubus has been designed for vertical and horizontal installation (depending on the
model of device ordered) with air intake and air discharge on the long side.
Intended use also includes:
−Reading through these operating instructions and compliance with all information
specified therein – in particular the safety instructions.
−Compliance with and execution of all inspection and servicing work within the pre-
scribed time intervals.
−The exclusive use of original spare parts. These parts have been especially de-
signed for this system. It is not possible to guarantee that parts produced else-
where have been designed and manufactured appropriately for the necessary
load and safety.
−That parts and special equipment not supplied (and/or approved) by Teddington
Luftschleieranlagen GmbH are not approved for use with the system.
WARNING
The use and operating conditions specified in these operating instruc-
tions and the additional technical material must be adhered to without
exception.
2.2 Improper use of the air curtain system
The Tubus air curtain system is not intended for any types of use other than those
listed above and such types of use will be considered improper use.
The following in particular are not permitted:
−
To install, operate, use and maintain the air curtain system other than as specified

2.4 Duty of care of the operating company
Teddington Luftschleieranlagen GmbH’s goal is to ensure the highest level of safety
and quality. Special care has therefore been taken that construction and production
of
the Tubus air curtain system
are strictly in accordance with applicable regulations and
guidelines.
In order that the system can maintain the maximum safety standards during daily op-
eration, the operating company must ensure:
−That the air curtain system is only used (i.e. transported, installed, commissioned,
operated and maintained) according to its designated use with an awareness of
safety and danger issues;
−That the device is operated only in perfect operating condition and that it is
checked regularly for correct function;
−That the operating instructions are always available, are legible and complete at
the operating site of the device;
−That all maintenance and safety-related inspections are performed in good time;
−That all malfunctions, in particular those that could impair safety, are repaired im-
mediately (the system cannot be operated when a fault is present);
−That only qualified, authorised and instructed specialists work on the device.
3 Important safety information
In the chapter on safety we have assembled all possible hazards which can arise dur-
ing the use, maintenance and repair of your air curtain system. Wherever possible the
risks have been ruled out by the manufacturer, Teddington Luftschleieranlagen
GmbH.

Page 9Status 08.12.2014
3.1 Hazards and danger areas on the air curtain system
It is essential that all persons working on the air curtain system pay attention to the
following possible residual risks:
DANGER!
− Porous wires can result in electrical fires.
− Short circuit or electrocution due to porous wires
− Fire in heating coils or air vents
− Overheating of the motor
− Danger of burns from hot surfaces within the system! Allow the system to
cool down before opening the cover.
− When the cover is open, do not reach into the running motor until the motor
has been turned off and come to a halt.
− Items or tools left in the system can fall out when it is opened, and can lead
to injuries.
− Danger of electrocution due to dampness or leaking fluids in the system
− Danger of injury due to parts falling down (grid, housing cover or other
loose parts)
− Danger of burns from hot, pressurised water from the hot water pump
− Danger of injury due to stumbling or falling from ladders: Ensure a safe
place to stand during all mounting, dismantling and maintenance work
− If the air curtain system is not sufficiently secured to the floor this may lead
to damage to property and to personal injuries
− The entire system can fall from the ceiling if incorrectly installed or if the
wall or ceiling bracket comes loose.
− During cleaning, neither water nor liquid detergents may get inside the sys-
tem or come into contact with energised parts.

Air curtain system operating instructions
Tubus
In addition to these operating instructions all applicable laws and ordinances, the
accident prevention regulations (UVV), as well as the guidelines of the Accident
Prevention & Insurance Association and the laws on occupational health and safety
must be followed.
The device was subjected to a function test before delivery. Nevertheless, incorrect
installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance and may result in personal
injury or damage to property.
These operating instructions must be kept at the operating site of the air curtain
system. It must be ensured that all persons working with the system can consult the
operating instructions at any time. Any specialist company employee charged with
commissioning, maintenance or repair must have read these operating instructions
before starting work.
WARNING
All information about safety and danger on the air curtain system must
be observed and be kept in a legible state. Damaged or illegible signs
must be promptly replaced.
WARNING
Fan motors must be allowed approx. 3 minutes to come to a halt before
the air curtain can be opened.
WARNING
If there is electric heating:
After a long operating break, the heater battery must be cleaned before
being put into operation (risk of fire due to dirt deposits).
WARNING
Air curtain systems with electric heater batteries must never be operated
at a low fan level and high heating level!
If air curtain systems with electric heater batteries are operated at low fan level and
high heating level, there is a risk of the heating element overheating, combined with
the triggering of the excess temperature thermostat. In this case the thermostat must
be manually reset. Other causes of overheating may be dirt or motor failure. The
cause of overheating must be rectified before the system is put back into operation.

Page 11Status 08.12.2014
3.2 Fire protection
WARNING
Your air curtain system is not equipped with a smoke detector!
DANGER
In case of fire, the air curtain system can become an accelerant. The cir-
culation of large air masses means that sources of fire near the system
are supplied with additional oxygen. We explicitly point out that the sys-
tem must be incorporated int
o the building’s fire safety concept, according
to the applicable regulations at the operating site; this includes the instal-
lation of fire alarms, sprinklers, safety shutdown in case of fire etc. You
should discuss this concept with your fire insurance. All persons working
on the system or who constantly work near the system must be familiar
with the location
s and use of the fire extinguishing equipment.
TIP
In addition to the recommendations above, due to the electrical installa-
tion, we recommend that CO
2
fire-extinguishers are available at the op-
erating site for use in the event of fire.
DANGER
Never extinguish a fire with water! This results in danger to life due to
electrocution!
4 Transport of the Tubus air curtain system
−Carefully inspect transport packaging for damage.
−Carefully remove packaging.
−With the help of the packing slip, check the system and system components for
completeness and damage.
−Document (photograph) any damage, note it on the haulier’s paperwork and ask
the driver to sign this. Report the damage to Teddington immediately.
−Reservations, such as “not inspected” or “accepted with reservations”, will be
equated with acceptance free from defects.

Risk of tipping when loading pallets with a forklift or pallet truck!
5 Technical data of the Tubus range
5.1 The two performance categories of the Tubus system
The Tubus air curtain system is available in two performance categories (Tubus 1 and
2). The performance category depends firstly on the width of the entrance, and sec-
ondly on the intensity of the air flow. The wider the door and/or the stronger the flow
of outdoor air, the higher the selected performance category must be.

6.2 How to secure the Tubus-V device
Firstly you must decide the direction in which your new system is going to take air in,
and the direction in which the air will be discharged. Then put the floor plate down at
the place where the device is going to stand; this initially serves as a template. Mark
the positions where holes need to be drilled in the floor. Remove the floor plate again
and drill the holes. Then fix the floor plate back onto the air curtain system using 4
screws per device (included with delivery). The air curtain system can now be erect-
ed and fixed to the floor using heavy duty dowels. This completes mounting to the
floor. The electrical and heating connections now need to be installed. You can
choose whether the device is supplied with connections from the top or from the bot-
tom.
WARNING
If the heating connections and the electrical connection are designed at
the bottom, tapping holes must be drilled in the necessary places. Here
too the cut-outs in the installation plate should be used as template.
It is essential to use all specified anchor points on the air curtain system!
The mounting materials must be adapted to the local situation, and struc-
tural stability must likewise be checked. The mounting material provided
with delivery is standard material which may not be suitable for every
situation. The mounting material must therefore be checked for suitabil-
ity for the respective local situation. Where necessary the material sup-
plied must be replaced. The specialist installation company has sole
responsibility for safe installation.
A
ll water and electrical installations must be executed exclusively by
specialist companies (heating engineers, electricians). Teddington
Luftschleieranlagen GmbH cannot otherwise assume any warranty (see
“Safety” chapter).
In case of vertical installation the device must be secured against tipping
in the upper part.

Incorrect mounting!
The air stream is blocked or
obstructed by the wall.
It should be moved away
from the wall or mounted dif-
ferently.
During installation, you can choose between mounting to the wall or ceiling:
Special wall mounting brackets with heavy duty
dowels are used for wall mounting. 2 wall mounting
brackets are required. The air curtain system can
then be secured to the wall mounting bracket using
the blind rivet nuts in the side retaining plates and
suitable screws or threaded bolts in conjunction with
vibration dampers.
For ceiling mounting, 4 type DH/DHD special ceiling
brackets are screwed into the blind rivet nuts on the
side retaining plates and secured to the ceiling
above the door using heavy duty dowels. The turn-
buckles can be adjusted to ensure horizontal align-
ment at the correct height.
