Installation and operating instructions
EN
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
Sierra creates an ecient temperature dividing
air barrier in door openings. The recommended
installation width of Sierra is 5 m with air
curtains mounted on both sides of the opening
and its recommended installation height is
3,5 m. The air curtain is available without heat,
with electrical heating and with water heating.
Protection class: IP20.
Operation
Air is drawn in at the top/rear of the unit and
blown downwards/outwards shielding the
door opening and minimizing heat loss. To
achieve the optimum air curtain effect the unit
must extend the full height/width of the door
opening.
The grille for directing the outlet air is
adjustable and is normally angled outwards to
achieve the best protection against incoming
air.
The eciency 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 eciency of the air
curtain. The ventilation should therefore be
balanced.
Mounting
The air curtain range includes units for vertical
and horizontal installation. The product must
be mounted in such a way to allow future
service and maintenance. Ensure that the
front is accessible and can be fully opened. A
distance of 80 mm is required to remove the
front.
When mounting a product in stainless steel,
the protective plastic shall remain on the
product. The plastic is removed only when
mounting and installation are completed. Be
careful to not damage the surfaces.
Vertical mounting
The air curtain is mounted vertically as close
as possible to the door. For the best effect air
curtains should be placed on both sides of the
opening.
The air curtain is installed on adjustable feet
which makes it possible to compensate for
any surface undulations. The feet are attached
to the oor with fasteners appropriate to the
surface and covered by a frame. Fasteners are
not included. A drilling template for the oor
is included in delivery and also available at
www.frico.net.
Note! The air curtain must be secured in the
wall or ceiling. The M8 press nut on the top of
the unit is used for this, see gure.
The extension hood (accessory) lls the space
between the unit and the ceiling and provides a
neater installation.
See the introduction pages.
Horizontal mounting
The air curtain is installed horizontally with the
outlet air grille facing downwards as close to
the door as possible. Minimum distance from
outlet to oor for electrically heated units is
1800 mm. For other minimum distances, see g.
Mounting with wall brackets
Wall brackets SIFW are available as accessories.
Two brackets are required for each unit.
Horizontal mounting on the ceiling
Threaded rods, wire suspension kits and ceiling
brackets for ceiling mounting are available as
accessories.

Electrical installation
The installation, which should be preceded by
an isolator switch with a contact separation
of at least 3 mm, should only be wired by a
competent electrician and in accordance with
the latest edition of IEE wiring regulations.
The air curtain has an integrated PC board
which is connected to the selected external
control system FC. FC must be ordered
separately. FC is supplied pre-programmed.
Communication- and sensor cables are
connected to the PC board.
Should more than one air curtain be
controlled by a single FC, an additional
communication cable FCBC per unit will be
required. See manual for FC.
Vertical mounting
Control is supplied by 230V~ to the terminal
block. The PC board is accessed via cable glands
on the top or bottom of the unit. Pierce the
gland with a screwdriver before entering the
cable. If necessary, the cables can be routed
through the unit. Bundle the cables inside the
unit to prevent that they will be drawn into
the fans or get in contact with the heating
elements.
For units with electrical heating, the power
supply for heating (400V3~) is connected to
the terminal block. Power and control must be
supplied separately. The electrical connection
is made on the top or bottom of the unit
depending on selection. See product key.
Connections made from below the unit
must be prepared in the oor according to
the drawing. A drilling template for the oor
is included in delivery and also available at
www.frico.net.
Horizontal mounting
The electrical connection is made on the top
of the unit. Pierce the gland with a screwdriver
before entering the cable. Control is supplied
by 230V~ to the terminal block.
For units with electrical heating, the power
supply for heating (400V3~) is connected to
the terminal block. Power and control must be
supplied separately.
The largest cable diameter for the terminal
block is 16 mm². The cable glands used must
meet the protection class requirements. In the
distribution board, it is to be indicated that ”the
air curtains can be supplied from more than
one connection”.
*) Dimensioning of external wiring shall comply with
applicable regulations and local deviations may occur.

Connecting the water coil (W)
The installation must be carried out by an
authorised installer.
The water coil has copper tubes with
aluminium ns and is suitable for connection
to a closed water heating system. The heating
coil must not be connected to a mains pressure
water system or an open water system.
Note that the unit shall be preceded by a
regulating valve, see Frico valve kit.
Valves must be installed outside the unit.
Note that the actuator needs power supply and
control signal from the integrated PC board.
NOTE: Care must be taken when connecting
the pipes. Use a pipe wrench or a similar
tool to grip the air curtain connections to
prevent straining of the pipes and subsequent
water leakage during connection to the water
supply pipe-work.
The connections to the heating coil must be
equipped with shut off valves to allow trouble-
free removal.
A vent valve should be connected at a high
point in the pipe system. Flexible hoses are
available as accessories.
Vertical mounting
The water coil is connected on the top or the
bottom of the unit via connections DN25 (1’’),
internal thread. See product key.
Connections made from below the unit
must be prepared in the oor according to
the drawing. A drilling template for the oor
is included in delivery and also available at
www.frico.net. Note the distance between the
water connections and the end of the unit. See
the introduction pages.
Horizontal mounting
The water coil is connected on the top of the
unit via connections DN20 (3/4’’), internal
thread.
Adjustment of the air curtain and airow
The direction and speed of the airow should
be adjusted considering the load on the
opening. Pressure forces affect the airstream
and force it inwards towards the premises
(when the premises are heated and the
outdoor air is cold).
The airstream should, therefore, be directed
outwards to withstand the load. Generally
speaking, the higher the load, the greater the
angle required.
Basic setting fan speed
The fan speed when the door is open is
set using the control. Note that the airow
direction and the fan speed may need ne
adjustment depending on the loading of the
door.
Filter (W)
The water coil is protected against dirt and
blockage by an internal air lter which covers
the coil face.
Service, repairs and maintenance
For all service, repair and maintenance rst
carry out the following:
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. See previous section on how to remove front,
inlet grill and cover panel behind it.
3. After service, repairs and maintenance fasten
the parts that have been removed.
Maintenance
Unit with water heating
The appliance lter should be cleaned regularly
to ensure the air curtain effect and heat
emission from the device. How often depends
on local circumstances. A clogged lter is not a
risk, but the appliance function can fail.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the inlet grill to acces the lter.
3. Remove the lter and vacuum clean or wash
it. If the lter is clogged or damaged, it may
need to be changed.
All units
Since fan motors and other components are
maintenance-free, no maintenance other than
cleaning is necessary. The level of cleaning can
vary depending on local conditions. Undertake
cleaning at least twice a year. Inlet and exhaust
grilles, impeller and elements can be vacuum
cleaned or wiped using a damp cloth. Use a
brush when vacuuming to prevent damaging
sensitive parts. Avoid the use of strong alkaline
or acidic cleaning agents.
Temperature control
Temperature control of FC maintains the
exhaust temperature. Should the temperature
exceed the preset value, the overheating alarm
will activate. For more information see the FC
manual.

2. Disconnect the connections to the water coil.
3. Remove the mounting screws securing the
coil in the unit and lift out.
4. Install the new coil in reverse order to the
above.
Safety cut-out
All motors are equipped with an integrated
safety cut-out. This will operate, stopping the
air curtain should the motor temperature rise
excessively or the electronics fail or overheat.
The cut-out will automatically reset when the
motor temperature has returned to within the
motor’s operating limits. Failure or damage to
electronics components may require repair or
replacement of such components or the entire
product.
Fan replacement
To access the fans, the L-shaped prole must
be removed by loosening its screws.
1. Determine which of the fans is not
functioning.
2. Disconnect the cables from the relevant fan.
3. Remove the screws securing the fan and lift
the fan out.
4. Install the new fan as above in reverse order.
Replacing the PC board
1. The PC board is located in the terminal box.
2. Mark and disconnect the cables to the PC
board.
3. Unhatch the board from its PCB snap-in
spacers and lift out.
4. Install the new PC board as above in reverse
order.
Troubleshooting
If the fans are not running or do not perform
properly, check the following:
• The power supply.
• That the intake grille/lter is not dirty.
• That the motor's safety cut-out has not been
deployed.
• Functions and settings of the FC control
system, see the FC manual.
If there is no heat, check the following:
• Functions and settings of the FC control
system, see the FC manual.
For units with electrical heating, also check the
following:
• Power supply to electric heater coil; check
fuses and circuit-breaker (if any).
• That the overheat protection has not been
deployed.
For units with a water coil, also check the
following:
• That the water coil is air free.
• That there is sucient water ow and
pressure.
• That incoming water is heated adequately.
If the fault cannot be rectied, please contact a
qualied service technician.
Residual current circuit breaker (E)
When the installation is protected by means of
a residual current circuit breaker, which trips
when the appliance is connected, this may be
due to moisture in the heating element. When
an appliance containing a heater element has
not been used for a long period or stored in
a damp environment, moisture can enter the
element.
20
Sierra
EN
This should not be seen as a fault, but is
simply rectied by connecting the appliance to
the main supply via a socket without a safety
cut-out so that the moisture can be eliminated
from the element. The drying time can vary
from a few hours to a few days. As a preventive
measure, the unit should occasionally be run
for a short time when it is not being used for
extended periods of time.
Packaging
Packaging materials are chosen with
consideration to the environment and are
therefore recyclable.
