1.1 Introduction
This instruction manual describes the Airbloc ACR
Recessed range of air curtains.
Models range from 1000mm to 2000mm in length,
in both Standard and High capacity and are
available in either Electrically heated, Ambient or
LPHW. They are designed for discreet positioning
in a suspended ceiling or bulkhead in the
doorways of retail or commercial premises.
Optional case for doorways with restricted space
and no suspended ceiling or bulkhead
Each air curtain is supplied with a fully electronic
controller giving multi fan and heat settings
(electrically operated units) via a simple key pad
which can be mounted up to 50m from the air
curtain. Optional BMS time control, external
thermostats and door interlocks can be installed.
The program panel shown above allows the user
to control either a single air curtain, or a network
of up to 6 air curtains, and provides the following
functions:-
- Heat On Off or Auto via optional thermostat
- Off or Low, Medium and High Fan Speeds
For further details please refer to section 10.2
Alternatively on electrically heated models, an
optional SmartElec control system consists of a
base unit (installed within the air curtain) and a
program panel that can be installed remote from
the air curtain. Usually, the program panel is
mounted at a low level from the air curtain for user
access and to a maximum distance of 50m. The
base unit and program panel are linked by low
voltage cable as specified in these instructions.
The SmartElec factory fitted base unit shown
above provides terminals for 3 phase supply
connection and the low voltage program panel
wires. The SmartElec base unit rapidly pulses
energy to the heating elements. This combined
with the inbuilt intelligent sensor control, maintains
a fixed outlet temperature, thereby reducing
energy consumption as compared to an air curtain
without the SmartElec control.
The program panel shown above allows the user
to control either a single air curtain, or a network
of up to 16 air curtains, & provides the following
functions:
•
Heat On or Off
•
Off or Low, Medium and High Fan Speeds
•
Air Outlet Temperature
