.  .   Operation

This section describes the functions you should know for the 

day-to-day use of the comfort air curtain.

All functions can be operated from the control panel. The 

control panel allows you to:

•

switch the air curtain On and Off;

•

set the strength of the air curtain;

•

enable and disable heating.

Multiple units operated from one single control panel

If multiple units are connected to the control panel, its set-

tings will be the same for all units.

3.1

Switching On and Off

3.1.1 Switching air curtain On and Off

You can switch the air curtain On and Off manually. Indepen-

dently of this, the unit can be controlled by external controls 

(see section 

3.4.2

).

•

Press the 

 key briefly to switch the air curtain On or 

Off. 

If the air curtain is switched Off, the LED in the control panel 

will be lit.

3.1.2 Pause mode

In the pause mode, the unit does not respond to signals from 

external controls. Frost protection will remain enabled, 

though.

•

Press the 

 key for 3 seconds to switch the unit to the 

pause mode. 

•

Press the 

 key briefly to exit the pause mode.

When the unit is in pause mode, the control panel LED will be 

lit and the display will be blank.
