Recessed and energy efficient air curtain for large
commercial premises
Arden 4200, with a recommended installation height of 4,2 m, is very unobtrusive and with that particularly suitable for
environments where the design is important. The air curtain is equipped with energy-ecient EC motors which enable
stepless control of the airow. Arden is intended for recessed installation, the frame and hatch can be painted in colours
that blend well with the premises.
Energy ecient and sustainable Intelligent control options High performance
The air curtain is equipped with EC
motors that are up to 50% more
energy ecient than traditional AC
motors, and have a lower weight
which makes for easier installations
and greener transports.
Arden 4200
The Arden series is supplemented
with an intelligent control system that
allows you to optimize your comfort
with minimum effort. Smart and
automatic features enable simple setup and operation for different Frico
products groups.
Air velocity prole
Frico air curtains are developed and
manufactured in Sweden.
The air curtains are tested in one of
the most modern and advanced air
and sound laboratories in Europe
which means that we can guarantee
a high performance product.

Frico's Thermozone technology
Arden 4200
optimizes the air curtain
Frico air curtains create an invisible barrier at openings and doors which separates different temperature zones without
limiting access for people and vehicles. Thermozone technology creates a highly uniform air barrier with a perfect
balance between air volume and air velocity, regardless of whether it is the heat or the cold that you want to keep inside.
Great energy savings
In many premises doors remain open
for a signicant part of the day, this
results in huge losses of expensively
heated or cooled air, especially when
the temperature difference between
outdoor and indoor air is great. With
correctly installed air curtains great
energy savings can be obtained.
Comfortable indoor climateLow sound level
Air curtains with Thermozone
technology have optimized
performance to provide a
comfortable indoor climate free from
drafts. The air curtain also keeps out
emissions and insects.
With Thermozone technology Frico
manufactures air curtains with very
high airow performance. This
does not just make the air curtain
more effective, but also has other
advantages such as extremely low
sound levels and reduced turbulence.
Create the optimal solution to suit your specific needs
After you selected the air curtain to suit your specic needs (ambient, electrical heating, water heating) and length 1, 1,5,
or 2 or 2,5 m you assemble your control and accessory options:
Add valve system Select control system Select mounting options

Arden 4200
Mounting
Mounting
The recommended installation height of Arden 4200 is 4,2 m. The air curtain is
designed to be installed into suspended ceilings. The unit is ready for suspension
with threaded bars (accessory) on its outside. The threaded bars can also be xed on
the inside of the unit e.g. when mounted on a solid suspended ceiling.
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. For the protection of
wider doorways, several units can be mounted in series alongside each other. For a
discreet installation with only the outlet and inlet visible in the ceiling the unit can be
supplemented with a outlet/inlet extension.
Connection
Service and maintenance are easily made through the service hatch at the bottom
of the unit. The air curtain has an integrated PC board which is connected to the
selected external control system FC. Control is supplied by 230V~ to the PC board.
The PC board is accessed via cable glands on the top of the unit. Communicationand sensor cables are connected to the PC board.
The electrical connection can be made either on the side or the top of the unit and
routed via the motor compartment.
Water heated units are connected to the water system inside the unit, through
holes made during installation on the top or the side of the unit. Flexible hoses are
available as accessories. Water heated units must always be supplemented with a
valve kit mounted outside the unit. See Valves and Accessories.

FC Control system
Arden 4200
Frico air curtains come with an integrated PC-board and are supplemented with the intelligent control system FC of your
choice, working together to create many smart and energy saving features. There are four different packages to choose
from, depending on your requirements.
FC Direct

• Door contact
• Calendar function
• Filter timer
FC Smart
FC Direct +
• Control via app (Bluetooth)
• Wireless sensors possible
• Adjustable calendar function
• Away and Boost function
• Adjustable lter timer
• Vestibule function
• Zone possibility
FC Direct
Entry level control system for a great start. The door contact provides an automatic
energy-saving function, as the air curtain becomes active only when the door is
open. When the door is closed, it remains on stand-by or runs on a lower fan speed if
extra heat is needed. With the calendar function, you can schedule when the system
should be active.
FC Smart
Second level control system for full freedom. FC Smart comes with all features from
FC Direct plus additional energy saving features and the possibility of app control
(Bluetooth). The app gives you access to all functions in the system, allowing you to
set it up exactly the way you want it. It also enables you to create different zones with
different settings in a larger system.

Third level control system for maximum savings. FC Pro comes with all features
from FC Direct and FC Smart plus additional automatic energy saving features. By
receiving and reacting to information about indoor and outdoor temperatures, the
right amount of heat and air ow is added to avoid overshoots and thus reducing
energy consumption.
Comprehensive control system for buildings, with the option to control via 0-10V or
Modbus. FC Building enables you to receive product information status and alarms.
Modbus allows for full use of all the energy saving features within the control
system.

Water control
Arden 4200
Water heated units must be supplemented with valves. The valve system controls the water ow and activates maximum
heat only when needed. By activating the built-in bypass feature, a small leakage ow is let through to make sure there
is always hot water in the heating coil, providing frost protection and faster heating. The return water temperature
sensor is making sure that as much energy as possible from the water in the coil is used, thus reducing energy
consumption.
VPFC, pressure independent and modulating valve system
Two way pressure independent control and adjustment valve with modulating
actuator and shut-off valve.
FCWTA, return water temperature sensor
Enables control of return water temperature and automatic bypass function, which
provides extended frost protection and reduced energy consumption.
Flexible hoses for easy and practical installation of water heated unit. Length 1 m.
DN20, 1" inside/outside thread.
DTV200S, lter pressure guard
Measures the differential pressure, which indicates how dirty the lter is in water
heated units. The metering hose is connected to the suction side of the unit
(after the lter). Adjustment is performed on site depending on the unit and the
environment. Adjustable range 20-300 Pa. Potential free, changeover alarm contact.
