Control Options for Model TSD
Unheated
* Recommended
*Door Switch/Magnetic -- A non-mechanical door switch that turns the air curtain on when the door is
opened.
* Hand/Off/Auto Selector Switch (Panel Mounted) -- Switches between the unit running constantly in
the hand position, off, and auto, which only runs when the door switch is activated.
Other Options
Cruise Control Programmable Switch -- Digital logic controller with an LCD display that takes the place
of several individual control components including a Built-in Time Delay Relay, On/Off/Auto Switch, and
Heat On/Off Switch.
Disconnect-Fused -- A switch that will disconnect all power from the unit so that the unit can be serviced
or inspected and includes fuses for circuit protection.
Disconnect-Non Fused -- A switch that will disconnect all power from the unit so that the unit can be
serviced or inspected.
Door Switch/Roller-Plunger -- A mechanical door switch that turns the air curtain on when the door is
opened.
Motion Detector -- Turns the air curtain on when the sensors detect motion so that the air curtain turns on
before the door is opened.
On/Off Selector Switch (Panel Mounted) -- Switches the air curtain on and off.
Programmable Digital Thermostat -- A thermostat that is programmable with a digital display (7-day,
1/2 hour increments, specify up to 4 time periods per day)
Built-in Time Delay Relay -- Provides a delay for shutting off the air curtain after the door is shut. This is
useful for doors that see a lot of foot traffic, so the unit is not constantly turning on and off during the day.
To be used in conjunction with a door switch.
