AIR CURTAIN CONTROL
1. On/Off Control by hand – A three pole On/Off switch

may be used or the Supply Disconnect Switch may
also be used to put the unit on or off. A magnetic motor
starter is not required with manual On/Off control.

2. When automatic On/Off function is required, a Motor

Control Panel must be used. The Motor Control Panel
can be such that a micro switch may control the
On/Off function of the Panel. The micro switch may be
any dry contact switch or a thermostat. The panel may
be chosen such that the opening and closing of a door
may control the closing and opening of a single pole
contact of a door switch which in turn controls the
On/Off of the contactor in the Control Panel which will
turn the Air Curtain motors on and off.

3. These controls are all optional devices that are

external of the Air Curtain. These can be installed
between the Air Curtain and its Disconnect.

4. It is recommended all control devices to be used with

these Air Curtain units should be UL and or CSA
approved devices and all local codes be followed in
their use and installation.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE AMP RATING OF ANY
CONTROL DEVICE OR ON/OFF SWITCH EXCEEDS
NAMEPLATE AMP RATING OF MOTOR.

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. DO NOT DEPEND ON
