INDOOR MOUNTING - Environmental/ Insect/Dust
Control
OUTDOOR MOUNTING (Unheated Only) - Insect/
Dust Control
The Commercial High Performance 10 & the Sanitation
Certified High Performance 7 Air Curtains are designed
to be an effective barrier against cold drafts in the winter
and hot air in the summer, flying insects and airborne
contaminants.
To achieve optimum protection, the air curtain should
be mounted on the inside of the building, flush to the
wall and as close to the top of the door opening as
possible. To ensure peak performance, keep the air
stream free of obstructions.
The air curtain will not perform properly if negative air
pressure exists in the building. Under these conditions,
a means for makeup air to the building must be provided
so that the air pressure on both sides of the opening is in
balance.
Before mounting the air curtain, check the supporting
structure to verify that it has sufficient load-carrying
capacity to support the weight of the air curtain(s).
The mounting hardware (supplied by others) should
be capable of supporting a minimum of three (3)
times the weight of the air curtain.
See Table 1 or Table 2.

removal of the inlet screen and access to
electrical compartment.
A. When determining the mounting location for the air
curtain(s), make sure that nothing interferes with the
curtain of air developed when the discharge vanes
are directed from 0° to 20° toward the door open-
ing. If the air stream strikes any obstruction (the
top edge of the doorway, a door opening device,
etc.), the effectiveness of the air curtain will be
greatly reduced. See Figure 2.
B. For optimum performance, the bottom of the air
curtain (discharge nozzle) should be no more than
1” above the top of the door opening with the air
curtain(s) mounted flush to the wall. If the air
curtain must be mounted higher, it must be
spaced out from the wall 3/8” for every inch
the air curtain is above the door opening. See
Figure 3
. For optimum protection, any void
between the air curtain and the wall should be
sealed along the full length of the air curtain.

VII. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL OPERATION
Air curtain operation may be divided into four areas:
control package, fan activation, fan speed selection,
and heat activation. Depending on the type of
controls ordered one or more of the following
may be applicable. The air curtain must be properly
installed before it is used.
1. Control packages control the air curtain’s
sequence of operation. Unit modes/control
packages are built into the unit and may not
be changed in the field. Refer to your wiring
diagram for specifics about activation
connections and sequence of operation.
a. Basic Control Package – The unit is activated
by a door or selector switch. Either switch
may be line voltage or low voltage (24V).
b. Deluxe Control Package – The unit is
activated by a door or selector switch, but
has a factory installed time delay allowing
the unit to keep running for a period of
time after the door closes.
B. AIR STREAM ADJUSTMENT
1. With the air curtain operating and the door in.
its full open position, check to see that nothing is
obstructing the airflow at the discharge nozzle
vanes.
c. Comfort Plus Control Package – Available
only on heated units, the unit is activated by
a door or selector switch AND a thermostat
to provide supplemental heating.
NOTE: Not available with 575V motors.
2. Find the air stream split location. Hold a hand-
kerchief by its corners, approximately 12” above
the floor. Gently move the handkerchief back
and forth in the doorway. Make sure the air is
being directed to both the inside and the outside.
See Figure 10. The split location is indicated
where the handkerchief is vertical with minimal
or no fluttering.
2. Unheated air curtains will have the fans
activated by a door or selector switch or
sensor. The unit may be single speed and
require no fan speed selector (On/Off), or may
have three fan speeds which require either a
unit or remote mounted switch (Off, High,
Med, Low).
3. The split location should be approximately 3”
outside the doorway. If necessary adjust the
discharge nozzle vanes by de-energizing the unit,
loosening the nozzle vane locking screws and
adjusting vanes.
3. Heated air curtains will have fans activated by
a door or selector switch or sensor, but may
also be activated by the thermostat in Comfort
Plus Mode. The unit has three fan speeds
which can be set by either a unit or remote
mounted switch (Low, Med, High, Off, Low
heat, Med Heat, High Heat).
4. Heat activation is controlled by either a unit or
remote mounted thermostat, and a unit or remote
mounted switch.
VIII. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect power whenever servicing unit.
More than one disconnect may be required
to de-energize unit.
Keep your air curtain operating at peak efficiency by
cleaning the blower wheels, motor(s) and intake grill.
Buildup of dust on the blower wheels can cause
vibration, noise and excessive wear on the motor
bearings. The frequency of cleaning will depend
on the environment where the unit is operating.
Dirty, dusty or greasy environments could require a
cleaning schedule of once every two months. If the
environment is not that dirty, the unit(s) should be
scheduled for cleaning a minimum of once every
(6) months.

machine screws located around the bottom,
front and top of the screen See Figure 11.
Our air curtains require very little servicing. All parts
are easily accessible for periodic inspection and
maintenance. Units should be cleaned at least twice
a year. Your particular application (the amount of dirt
and dust in the air) and location of the unit(s) will
determine how often your unit(s) will need to be
cleaned and serviced. All motors have permanently
lubricated, sealed, sleeve bearings and require no
maintenance
3. Vacuum and scrape (if necessary) to remove
the build-up of dirt and debris. The motor(s)
are permanently lubricated and require no
additional lubrication. Re-install the cover
