HOT WATER HEATED MODELS

 

An optional water coil solenoid valve (by others or 

Berner) may be controlled through the Intelliswitch™ or 

independently. The Intelliswitch™ is capable of providing 

the same voltage used for the motor to power a solenoid 

load up to 5 amps.  This call for heat may be controlled 

by an optional remote thermostat or through the built-

in Intelliswitch™ thermostat located on top of the air 

curtain. Piping should be done in accordance with local 

codes, regulations and standard practices.  Connect 

the building system to the (3/4"-AE08 or 1"- AE10) MPT 

supply and return header connections. 

See Figure 8.

A. GENERAL OPERATION

This air curtain comes with a built-in Berner Intelliswitch™

Digital Controller and the Berner AIR™ system (wireless

controller operated by the Berner AIR™ App, downloadable to 

smartphone) to control and schedule fan activation, fan speed

selection, and heat activation. The air curtain must be properly

installed before it can be used.

 

1.   For detailed instructions on how to operate the

 

 

Intelliswitch™ or to select from a list of standard modes

  

 

of control, proceed to the following pages:

 

 

Quick Start Operation Guide, page 9 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), page 11

 

 

 

NOTE: For a Detailed Programming Guide, go to

  www.Berner.com/Intelliswitch

 

2.  Unheated units will have the fans activated by a door

 

 

switch or sensor. The unit speed can be selected from

 

 

the Intelliswitch™ display.

 

3.  Heated units will have fans activated by a door switch

 

 

or sensor, but may also be activated by the thermostat 

in Comfort Plus Mode. The unit speed can

 

 

be selected from the Intelliswitch display.

 

4.  To operate using the 

Berner AIR™ App

, download the

 

 

app and follow the prompts. The Berner AIR™ App

 

 

allows air curtain(s) to be programmed & operated via

 

 

smart phone. Requires on-site, secure wi-fi connection

 

 

(provided by others).

 

 

Berner recommends having the on-site user(s) set-up

  the 

Berner AIR™ App

 on his/her smart phone. 

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.

 

2.   Find the air stream split location. Hold a handkerchief

 

 

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 9.

 The split location is

 

 

indicated where the handkerchief is vertical with

 

 

minimal or no fluttering.

 

3.   The split location should be approximately 3” outside

 

 

the doorway. If necessary adjust the discharge nozzle

 

 

vanes by de-energizing the unit and firmly pushing/

 

 

pulling on the vane tip until properly located.
