NOTES: 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.
