INTRODUCTION

The Ready Access AA300 Pass-Thru Air Curtain System is designed to be an integral part of
your drive-thru operation by providing comfort for both operator and customer during the coldest
of days as well as satisfying health department codes for fly fan application.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Modes of Operation
The Ready Access AA300 Pass-thru Air Curtain System is versatile in function and design,
offering operators four separate modes of operation.
* Outside warm air flow only
* Inside warm air flow only
* Both outside and inside warm airflow
* Outside fly fan operation only

Features and Benefits
Satisfies heath department requirements for "Fly Fan" applications while it reduces and deflects
the amount of outside wind blowing into the building. This also reduces heating and air­conditioning loss as well as reducing unwanted environment factors such as dust and exhaust
fumes from entering the building. Acts as a fly fan to deter insects from entering the building
during warm weather conditions.
Provides the owner/operator with a stable, comfortable working environment for all
crewmembers. Reduces Drive-Thru operation expenses by diminishing employee turnover.

Unique Design
The AA300 Air Curtain System is the only system on the market today that offers an outside and
inside heated airflow. It is designed for use with any flush mount window.

Quality Construction
The exterior housing of the AA300 Air Curtain System is manufactured using bronze or clear
anodized aluminum.

The Access Air 300 system is shipped completely pre-assembled and ready for installation,
lowering installation costs. Normal installation for new store construction takes less than two
hours.
