I. UNCRATING
Carefully examine the carton(s) for damage before opening. If
the carton is damaged, immediately notify the shipping com-
pany. Open the carton and remove all protective packing. Re-
move the unit by lifting vertically. Place the unit upside down
on end supports to avoid damage to the electrical junction
box. If the unit will be wall mounted, remove and save the two
(2) locking screws from the back corners and detach the wall
mounting plate.
See Figure 1
ACCESSORIES:
If the unit(s) were ordered with optional electrical acces-
sories (door switch, control panel, etc.), the accessories may be found in
the carton containing the unit or in a separate carton(s) accompanying
the unit(s). Check all of the cartons/skids for accessories before discard-
ing.
Figure 1
The ARCHITECTURAL HIGH PERFORMANCE 10 Air curtain is
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 unit 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 air stream free of obstructions.
See Figure 2.
II. WALL MOUNTING -
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Unit should be mounted no higher than 10’ above
the floor. For maximum efficiency, the unit should be
mounted no higher than 8’.
1. Install the ARCHITECTURAL HIGH PERFORMANCE 10 Air
curtain so that nothing interferes with the curtain of air
when it is deflected 20° to either side. If the air stream
strikes any obstruction, i.e. the top edge of the doorway, a
structural beam, a door opening device, etc., its efficiency
will be greatly reduced.
See Figure 2.
2. The lower lip of the mounting plate should be no more
than 1” above the door opening when the unit is 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 unit is above the door opening. For the best per-
formance, any void between the Air curtain and the wall
must be sealed (use foam, plastics or a similar packing).
See Figure 3.
3. Do not block the air flow to or from the unit since this
could cause overheating.
On electrically heated units
there should be:
a. A minimum clearance of at least 4” between the side of
the unit and any combustible material if the unit is
enclosed in the ceiling or a decorative cover.
b. A minimum clearance of 8” between the top of the unit
and the ceiling in order to service the junction box(es).
c. Do not install less than six feet (or 1.8 meters) from the
floor to the unit.
See Figure 2.
