IX. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL OPERATION
Air curtain operation may be divided into four areas: control package, fan activation, fan speed selection, and heat activation. Depending on the type of controls ordered one or more of the following may be applicable. The air curtain must be properly installed before it is used.
1. Control packages control the unit’s sequence of operation. Unit modes/control packages are built into the unit and may not be changed in the eld. Refer to your wiring diagram for specics about activation connections and sequence of operation. a. Basic Control Package – The unit is activated by a door or selector switch. Either switch may be line voltage or low voltage (24V). b. Deluxe Control Package – The unit is activated by a door or selector switch, but has a factory installed time delay allowing the unit to keep running for a period of time after the door closes. c. Comfort Plus Control Package – Available only on heated units, the unit is activated by a door or selector switch AND a thermostat to provide supplemental heating.

2. Unheated units will have the fans activated by a door or selector switch or sensor. The unit may be single speed and require no fan speed selector (On/O), or may have multiple fan speeds which require either a unit or remote mounted switch (O, High, Med, Low).
Figure 7
Figure 8
3. Heated units will have fans activated by a door or selector switch or sensor, but may also be activated by the thermo stat in Comfort Plus Mode. The unit may be single speed and controlled by either a unit or remote mounted switch (Fan, O, Heat), or may have multiple fan speeds which can be set by either a unit or remote mounted switch (Low, Med, High, O, Low heat, Med Heat, High Heat).
4. Heat activation is controlled by either a unit or remote mounted thermostat, and a unit or remote mounted switch.
B. AIR STREAM ADJUSTMENT
1. With the air curtain operating and the door in its full open position, check to see that nothing is obstructing the airow at the discharge nozzle vanes.
2. Find the air stream split location. Hold a handkerchief by its corners, approximately 12” above the oor. Gently move the handkerchief back and forth in the doorway. Make sure the air is being directed to both the inside and the outside. See Figure 9. The split location is indicated where the handkerchief is vertical with minimal or no uttering.
3. The split location should be approximately 3” outside the doorway. If necessary adjust the discharge nozzle vanes by de-energizing the unit, loosening the nozzle vane locking screws and adjusting vanes.

X. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power
whenever servicing unit. More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize unit.
Keep your air door operating at peak eciency by cleaning
the blower wheels, motor(s) and intake grille. Buildup of dust on the blower wheels can cause vibration, noise and excessive wear on the motor bearings. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment where the unit is operating.
Dirty, dusty or greasy environments could require a cleaning
schedule of once every two months. If the environment is not that dirty, the unit(s) should be scheduled for cleaning a minimum of once every (6) months. To access the interior of the unit:
1. Disconnect the power to the unit.
2. Remove the intake grille by removing the locking screw on each end of the unit. Lift the intake grille up and then towards you. See Figure 11.
3. Remove the bottom access panel. Remove Phillips head screws on the bottom of the unit. Vacuum and scrape (if necessary) to remove the build-up of dirt and debris. The motor(s) are permanently lubricated and require no additional lubrication. Re-install the cover and intake grille.
XI. SERVICE
CAUTION: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power
whenever servicing unit. More than one disconnect may be required to de-energize unit.
Any service performed on the ARCHITECTURAL HIGH PERFOR-
MANCE 10 Series air door MUST be done by qualied personnel.
Berner air doors require very little servicing. All parts are eas-
ily accessible for periodic inspection and maintenance. Units should be cleaned at least twice a year. Your particular applica­tion (the amount of dirt and dust in the air) and location of the unit(s) will determine how often your unit(s) will need to be cleaned and serviced. All motors have permanently lubricated, sealed, sleeve bearings and require no maintenance.
4. Switch the power on after cleaning. CAUTION: STAND CLEAR
OF THE UNIT OR WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AS LOOSE DEBRIS MAY BE PRESENT AND MAY EXIT THE NOZZLE.
