MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance is required to keep this product
operating at its peak performance and efficiency. Over
time, the housing, air intake grille, air intake filter,
blower wheels and motor(s) will accumulate a build up
of dust, debris and other residue. It is imperative to
keep these components clean. Failure to do so will not
only lower operational efficiency and performance, but
also reduce the useful life of the product. The time
between cleanings depends on the application, location
and daily hours of use. On average, under normal use
conditions, the product should require a thorough
cleaning once every six (6) months.
To clean the product, perform the following:
1. Verify the product has been disconnected from the
power source.
2. Use a damp cloth and either a warm mild soapy water
solution or bio-degradable degreaser, to wipe down
the exterior components of the housing.
3. To access the interior of the product, remove the air
intake grille(s) and/or air intake filter(s). This is
accomplished by removing the screws on the face of
the air intake grille(s)/filter(s) and releasing the grille by
pulling on the spring hinge.
4. Thoroughly clean the air intake grille(s) and clean or
replace the intake filter(s).
5. Thoroughly wipe down the motor, blower wheels and
blower wheel housings. Be careful not to spray the
motor with a water hose.
6. The motor(s) require no additional lubrication. They
are permanently lubricated and feature double sealed
ball bearings.
7. To re-install the product, reverse the procedures
above.
8. Reconnect the power source to the product.
9. If you have any questions regarding the maintenance
of the product, contact the manufacturer.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Outdoor Installation
For outdoor unit special consideration may be required
for enclosure, motor, wheel and other components to
minimize damage caused by exposure to the outdoor
elements. Contact factory for special construction and
costing.
Freezer and Cooler Installation
Air curtain must be mounted on the warm side for
optimal performance. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is
strongly recommended to control the air curtain air flow
velocity at the floor level.
High humid areas may require de-humidifier or
additional defrost cycle to minimize condensation and
freezing for freezer applications. We recommend the air
curtain unit to not replace doors but work in conjunction
with door opening sequence cycle.
Contact factory for details.
DISCLAIMER

purchased equipment.
L.
VERY IMPORTANT
Using a clamp meter, measure
the amperage to each motor and ensure that they do
not exceed the amperage listed on the product label.
M. If applicable, adjust the air intake grille(s) such that
the output air stream reaches the floor. For
temperature control and environmental separation
applications, the air stream should reach the floor
with sufficient strength to create an air seal around
the door opening without creating turbulent mixing of
the inside and outside air. If applicable, adjust the air
intake grille(s) such that the output air stream
reaches the floor. For flying insect control
applications, the air stream should reach the floor
with maximum strength. If after proper installation
and adjustment, the product appears to be producing
too little or too much air for the application, contact
the manufacturer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury to
persons, observe the following:
A. Maintenance is to be performed only by qualified
personnel who are familiar with local codes and
regulations and are experienced with this type of
product.
B. Before servicing or cleaning the product switch power
off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent
power from being switched “ON” accidentally.
