 Ladders
 Appropriate lifting equipment
 Appropriate tools for cutting ceiling aperture

7. INSTALLATION

The air curtain is designed to be recessed within ceiling voids or bulkheads with in a building and
located horizontally over a doorway. It must not be installed outside of the building.

7.1 Location

Mount the air curtain above and as close to the doorway as
possible, with:

 the recessed grille not more than:

2.6m / 8ft 6in above floor level - 208v operation

3.0m / 9ft 10in above floor level - 230v operation

 the air discharge (see 1, Fig 1) section of the

recessed grille nearest the doorway and the air inlet
section (see 2, Fig 1) furthest from the doorway

Beware of doorway top edges, structural beams, door
opening/closure devices, etc., which may interfere with the
air stream and affect the location of the unit.

NOTE: For the air curtain to work well the doorway should be less than the width of the airstream.

7.2 Ceiling Suspension

Step 1 Cut an aperture in the ceiling to the dimensions in

Appendix 1. Cut notches, if necessary, to clear
screws in the air curtain casing.

NOTE: For LPHW models, pipework will need to be installed

Step 2 Fix M8 or 5/16 UNC threaded rods (not supplied)

NOTE: Do not let these four hanging rods come below the

above the curtain. Allow sufficient access and height
clearance within the ceiling void to do this.

through the 2 holes at each end in the top casing (see
Fig 2). Feed the rods through the casing and attach to
fixing brackets near the bottom of the unit (see Fig 3,
looking up into the air curtain). Use M8 or 5/16 UNC
lock-nuts either side of the fixing brackets to secure
the hanging rods.

Step 3 Secure each rod to a suitable structure that can support the weight of the unit (see Section 3:

Specifications for weights).

Step 4 Adjust the height of the unit on its hanging rods so the bottom surface of the casing goes

between 25-50mm or 1 to 2 inches up into the ceiling as shown in Fig 4. Ensure the unit is level.

WARNING: It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the fixing locations and

suspension system used are suitable for the air curtain being installed.

7.3 Attaching the recessed grille to the air curtain

The recessed grille consists of:

 Metal frame
 Hinged inlet/discharge grille
 Slotted fixing brackets

There are 4 fixing slotted brackets on the C1000R, C1500R and
6 brackets on the C2000R (see Fig 5).

Fix the grille as follows:

Step 1 Open the hinged inlet grille using a flat bladed

screwdriver to release the quarter turn fasteners (see
Fig 6). There are two fasteners on the C1000R unit and
three fasteners on C1500R and C2000R units. Before
lifting the grille frame into position, remove four (six on
C2000R) M6 bolts fitted on the inside edge of air
curtain.

Fig 5

Fig 6

Centre
brackets for
C2000R

T9901013-1-1 CAN-USA-ENG (v9) Page | 7

Step 2 Make sure the grille will go the correct way around

(discharge nearest to doorway). Offer the recessed
grille up through the cut-out in the ceiling.

Step 3 Using the M6 bolts removed in Step 1, secure grille by

fixing each bolt through the slotted brackets as shown in
Fig 8.
With the hinged grille open, adjust the height of the
grille frame via slots in each bracket, so frame is snug fit
against the ceiling with no gaps all the way around.

Step 4 To stop discharge air re-circulating within the air curtain

a sliding separator will need adjusting up or down (see
Fig 9). To adjust plate release M6 bolts either end,
extend the slide plate so that it will touch the topside of
the grille along its whole length and tighten the bolts. It
will be necessary to close the hinged grille core to
gauge where the separator plate should be fitted.

Step 5 Once the above steps are complete the hinged grille

core can be closed and all the quarter turn fasteners
tightened up.

8. LPHW MODELS

For LPHW models ensure that water isolation valves are fitted in the flow and return pipework
adjacent to the air curtain and connected correctly as shown in the diagram in Appendix 1.

For the design of the water pipework system and pump, water flow rates and pressure drops for
maximum heat output of the air curtain are given in Table 2 below.

11.3 Weather compensation control (Summer/Winter)

To save heating energy on warmer days a simple weather
compensation (Summer/Winter) heat control strategy can
be used. Fit an outdoor air thermostat with volt-free
contacts (supplied by the installer) to a north facing wall.

Use a 2-core cable to connect the outdoor air thermostat to
2-way terminal IN1 on the Ecopower PCB (see Fig 11)

On the Ecopower PCB, set DIP 4 to OFF as per Table 4,
(see Section 11.1: Remote switch contacts IN0, IN1).

Switch Contact Closed = Heating Enabled (cold day)

Switch Contact Open = Heating Disabled (warm day)

WARNING: Do not apply any voltage to terminal IN1 as this will damage the Ecopower PCB.

NOTE: To promote increased energy saving a more advanced weather compensation control strategy is available from

Thermoscreens. Using a heating curve, the discharge air temperature of the airstream coming from the air curtain

Sound pressure levels dB(A) at 3m/10ft distance are for a single air curtain mounted at its maximum mounting height, operating
in a room with average acoustic characteristics as defined in CIBSE Guide B5 (reverberation time 0.7s at 1kHz) and a room
size equivalent to 8 air changes per hour (ac/h). Care needs to be taken when selecting air curtains for an installation as noi se
levels can be several dB higher if the mounting height is reduced, if the room is more ‘live’ (i.e. hard surfaces, no furnishings or
absorbent materials), if the room is smaller than 8 ac/h equivalent or a combination of these fact ors. Noise levels will also
increase if more than one air curtain is installed at the same doorway (e.g. +3dB(A) for 2 equal point sources: direct field).

The Auto On indicator LED is lit for "Auto Mode" and unlit for "Manual Mode".

3 & 4 Heating level controls

Manual mode

Select heating level from zero, to half heat, to full heat by stepping up or down with the heating level
controls. The heating level scale shows the level selected.

Automatic mode

Heat output is controlled automatically according to:

 Inlet air temperature, or
 Room air temperature

This is dependent on the settings made in Section 10: Remote Control Settings (DIP switch 4).

5, 6 & 7 Fan speed

Switch fan speed between Low, Medium and High respectively. The appropriate LED illuminates.

NOTE: On C A (Ambient – non heated) units the LED indicators on the Heating level scale and

AUTO button still illuminate but are ignored as nothing happens in the air curtain.

16. COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM

16.1 Verify system operation

To commission the system, verify the following conditions are met:

 All fans are working.
 Fans operate at Low, Medium and High speeds.
 There is no excessive mechanical noise coming from the fans.
 When heating is selected, the air stream from the discharge grille warms up across the whole

length of the air curtain.

 When set to manual with fans set to high speed, heating increases as higher heat is selected.
 Warm air reaches across the doorway with door open or closed.
 Ecopower Remote Control operates correctly in both manual and auto modes.

16.2 Instruct customer and hand over

Before leaving site, hand over the installation to the customer/end user or their representative.

Explain that any person operating the air curtain must be given supervision and instruction by the
person responsible for their safety, concerning the safe use of the unit and to understa nd any hazards
involved. Children and those with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities should not operate
the air curtain.

Recommend that the doorway should be closed whenever possible but that during times of high
pedestrian use it will become an ‘open doorway’. The air curtain then serves an essential purpose by
saving energy and providing comfort to occupants.

Explain that the inlet grilles and air filters (if fitted) must be cleaned regularly and the unit serviced at
schedule intervals – see section 19: Service & Maintenance.

NOTE: Leave these instructions with the customer/end user or their representative!!

17. SIGN OFF

Complete the following once commissioning is completed:

Installer signature Customer signature
Installer name
Installer company Customer company
Date

18. FAULT CONDITIONS

18.1 Overheat Safety cut-out

An overheat fault in electric heated units may cause the overheat safety cut-out(s) to operate.

This is indicated by flashing LEDs on the Remote Control and a red status LED on the Ecopower PCB
inside the air curtain.

Before resetting ensure there is adequate air flow from the air curtain and the unit has been
commissioned as per section 16.

To reset a overheat safety cut-out:

Step 1 Switch off the electrical supply to the air curtain.

Step 2 Allow time for the air cu rtain to cool down, typically 10 minutes.

Step 3 Switch on the electrical supply to the air curtain.

Step 4 Press the Auto button on the Ecopower remote control 4 times.

Air curtain heaters will then operate and after 30 seconds the LEDs on the remote control will stop
flashing and the status LED on the Ecopower PCB in the air curtain will flash green.

18.2 Fuses

In the event of an electrical fault internal electrical fuses may operate.

There are two 6.3A(T) internal fuses located in two DIN-rail fused terminals inside the air curtain

There are also two internal fuses located on the Ecopower PCB inside the air curtain:

 Fuse 6.3A(T) supplies the fan motors within the air curtain
 Fuse 100mA(F) controls the circuitry of the Ecopower PCB

18.3 Ecopower PCB status indication

There is a status LED on the Ecopower PCB inside the air curtain (See LED shown on Wiring
Diagrams in the Appendix).

This indicates the status of the Ecopower Control system as follows:

1. LED flashing green – operation normal

2. LED flashing red – low supply voltage, remote control not plugged in or RJ cable fault

3. LED permanently red – overheat safety cut-out(s) open circuit from an overheat situation.
Indicators on Ecopower Remote Control also flash!
(see Section 18: Fault Conditions for how to reset)
