Installation and operating instructions
General Instructions
Read these instructions carefully prior to
installation and use. Keep this manual for
future reference.
The product may only be used as set out in
the assembly and operating instructions. The
guarantee is only valid should the product be used
in the manner intended and in accordance with
the instructions.
Application area
AREC3200C is a compact air curtain for recessed
mounting. The air curtain is available without
heat, with electrical heating and with water
heating. Recommended installation height
for ambient and electrically heated units is 3.2
metres/10.5 feet and recommended installation
height for water heated unit is 2.8 metres/9.2
feet. The air curtain has an integrated control
system and can also be remote controlled.
Protection class for units with electrical heating:
IP20. Protection class for units without heating
and units with water heating: IP21.
Operation
Air is drawn in from underneath and blown
downwards shielding the door opening and
minimizing heat loss. To achieve the optimum
curtain effect the unit must extend the full
width of the opening.
The grille for directing the outlet air is
adjustable and is normally angled outwards to
achieve the best protection against incoming
air.
The efficiency of the air curtain depends on
the air temperature, the pressure differencial
across the doorway and any wind load.
NOTE! Negative pressure in the building
considerably reduces the efficiency of the air
curtain. The ventilation should therefore be
balanced.
Mounting on threaded bars inside the unit
1.
The mounting brackets are fixed to the unit
during transport. Loosen them and screw them
into place inside the unit in the intended holes.
In order to mount the brackets, remove the
service hatch, outlet grille and covering plates.
2.
Hang on threaded bars (M8) according to fig.
2b (accessory).
3.
Adjust the height using the lower nut so that
the frame is level with the ceiling. Lock using
the upper nut.
Electrical installation
The installation, which should be preceded by
an isolator switch with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm/0.12 in, should only be wired by
a competent electrician and in accordance with
the latest edition of IEE wiring regulations. The
control system is pre-installed in the air curtain.
Mounting
The air curtain is installed horizontally with
the outlet air grille facing downwards as close
to the door as possible, concealed in the false
ceiling. The only visible part of the unit is the
underside which is level with the ceiling. The
service hatch must be accessible, nothing
should prevent it being fully opened.
The unit is ready for suspension with
threaded bars on its outside. The threaded bars
can also be fixed on the inside of the unit e.g.
when mounted on a solid suspended ceiling.
For the protection of wider doorways, several
units can be mounted in series alongside each
other. Minimum distance from outlet to floor
for electrically heated units is 1800 mm/70.9 in.
Mounting on threaded bars outside the unit
1.
The mounting brackets are fixed to the unit
during transport. Loosen these, turn them
around and screw into place on the unit
according to fig. 1a.
2.
Hang on threaded bars (M8) according to fig.
1b (accessory).
3.
Adjust the height using the lower nut so that
the frame is level with the ceiling. Lock using
the upper nut.
