I. UNCRATING

Carefully examine the carton(s) for damage before opening. If 
the carton is damaged, immediately notify shipping company. 
If the unit(s) were shipped on wooden skids, remove protec-
tive wood and banding straps securing the carton(s) to the 
skid. Open the carton(s) and remove all protective packaging.  
Immediately verify that the electrical rating nameplate located 
on the cover matches electrical power supply available. Retain 
the shipping carton(s) until the unit(s) is installed and properly 
operating.  
ACCESSORIES:  If the unit(s) was ordered with optional elec-
trical accessories, 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 
discarding.  

II. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

 

(General Notes for All Mounting Configurations)

INDOOR MOUNTING ONLY! 
Environmental/Insect/Dust & Fume Control   
  The Drive-Thru air door is designed to be an effective barrier 

against cold drafts in the winter and hot air in the summer.  To 
achieve optimum protection, the unit should be mounted on 
the inside of the building, as close to the top of the window 
opening as possible. To ensure peak performance, keep the 
air stream free of obstructions.  The unit is equipped with 
mounting brackets to ensure proper mounting in most ap-
plications.

  The air door will not perform properly if negative air pres-

sure 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 unit, check the supporting structure to 

verify that it has sufficient load-carrying capacity to support 
the weight of the unit(s). The mounting hardware should be 
capable of supporting a minimum of three (3) times the weight 
of the unit (See Table 1).

B.  For optimum performance, the bottom of the unit (discharge 

nozzle) should be no more than 1” above the top of the 

    drive-thru window opening with the unit mounted flush to the 

wall. If the unit must be mounted higher, it must be spaced 
out from the wall 3/8” for every inch the unit is above the 

   drive-thru window opening.

C.  Electric heated units shall:
  1.  Have a minimum clearance of at least 1” between the sides 

and top of the unit and any combustible material.

   2.  Have a minimum clearance of at least 18” between the bot-

tom of the unit and the counter.

   

TABLE 1 

DRAWING 1 

A.  When determining the mounting location for the unit(s), make 

sure that nothing interferes with the curtain of air developed 
when the discharge vanes are directed from 0º to 20º toward 
the drive-thru window opening. If the air stream strikes any 
obstruction (the top edge of the window, a window open-
ing device, etc.), the effectiveness of the unit will be greatly 
reduced (See Drawing 1).
