7. INSTALLATION

The air curtain is designed to be recessed within ceiling voids or bulkheads within 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 2


possible, with:

 the recessed grille not more than 2.75m above floor


level
 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
1
Beware of doorway top edges, structural beams, door
opening/closure devices, etc., which may interfere with the Fig 1
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


above the curtain. Allow sufficient access and height
Fig 2
clearance within the ceiling void to do this.

Step 2 Fix M8 threaded rods (not supplied) 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 lock-nuts
either side of fixing brackets to secure hanging rods.

NOTE: Do not let these four hanging rods come below the
bottom of the unit casing or they may prevent the Fig 3
recessed grille fitting properly.

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

T9901013-1-1 UK (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.

Fig 7

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.

Fig 8

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. Fig 9

Step 5 Once the above steps are complete the


hinged grille core can be closed and all the
quarter turn fasteners tightened up. Fig 9

Fig 10

NOTE: Open the hinged grille core to gain access to electrical connections, and for servicing and
maintenance.

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 noise
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 factors. 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).

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 operator and hand over


Before leaving site, hand over the installation to the 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 understand 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!!

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 trip:

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

Step 2 Allow time for the air curtain 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 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 operation of the motherboard

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
(see Section 18, Fault Conditions for how to reset)

Common questions

DIP switch 4 in the Ecopower air curtain system determines the activation of weather compensation control or door switch control . When set to OFF, the system uses weather compensation control, which provides Summer/Winter heat control to conserve energy by adjusting heating based on outdoor temperatures . Conversely, setting DIP 4 to ON activates door switch control, adjusting heating and fan speed based on door status—heating is disabled when the door is closed . Thus, its configuration directly affects how the air curtain responds to both environmental temperature changes and operational triggers like door openings.

Incorrect wiring of volt-free, remote switch contacts to the IN0 and IN1 terminals can lead to damage of the Ecopower PCB inside the air curtain as these terminals are not designed to handle applied voltage . To mitigate these risks, it is essential to use a 2-core cable for wiring the contacts to the terminals and ensure that no voltage is applied . Compliance with these specifications and warnings will safeguard the integrity of the PCB and prevent potentially costly damage or system malfunctions. Additionally, following the guidelines for remote control settings and external switch contact functionalities ensures that the air curtain operates according to design parameters .

Setting up a master/slave configuration for multiple air curtain systems requires careful attention to ensuring that each unit is correctly linked and powered, particularly when using Thermoscreens' products. Each air curtain must have its own power source, and units should be connected with appropriate RJ extension cables . It is crucial to designate one air curtain as the 'master' by setting DIP 3 to ON, which uses only the master unit's air sensor . This prevents discrepancies among units—avoiding scenarios where some blow cold air while others blow warm in large doorways . Configurations must also consider building-specific requirements and overall energy efficiency, integrating advanced weather compensation control where necessary . Proper configuration and alignment with Thermoscreens' installation guidelines will ensure efficient and effective master/slave operations.

The Ecopower system features an overheat safety cut-out that signals faults via a fault indication signal when engaged, and these are wired through the 'HEALTHY' terminal . If the cut-out is triggered, it indicates an open circuit caused by excessive temperature, requiring the user to reset the system as outlined in the documented procedures . Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent overheating, including cleaning dust from grilles and ensuring electrical connections are secure . Proper adherence to cleaning and inspection routines minimizes the risk of faults and maintains the operational integrity of the system.

The remote control directly influences the settings and operation modes of the Ecopower air curtain. The installation involves connecting the RJ control cable properly to ensure functionality . The control unit houses DIP switches that enable features such as resetting on power-up, stopping the fan on cold, never blowing cold air, and room air temperature control . These settings allow customization of the air curtain's behavior according to user needs. For example, enabling the room air temperature control via the remote can deactivate other temperature sensors . If installed incorrectly, these functionalities could be compromised, affecting the air curtain's operational efficiency and environmental responsiveness.

The Ecopower Remote Control must remain plugged in for the air curtain system to function because it serves as the central controller for the entire system. Without it, the air curtain would lose its operational settings and control inputs necessary for managing fan speeds and other functionalities . However, an optional EEPROM is available that allows the remote to be unplugged while the air curtain continues to operate, which offers flexibility in installation and ongoing usage . Therefore, consistently ensuring that the remote control or the equivalent EEPROM is connected is crucial for uninterrupted air curtain service.

To ensure optimal operation and warranty compliance for the Ecopower air curtain system, users must adhere to a regular maintenance schedule. Weekly maintenance involves cleaning the face of the recessed grille with a vacuum to avoid dust build-up . Every three months, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and inspect the inside of the air curtain, which includes opening the inlet grille, cleaning internal components, and checking all electrical connections for security and integrity . Failure to follow these procedures can lead to reduced performance and void the warranty, as inadequate maintenance can cause overheating, vibration, and component wear .

The fan speed settings significantly affect both the maximum air velocity and sound pressure levels of the Ecopower air curtains. At high speed, maximum air velocity is 8.5 m/s, leading to a sound pressure level of 55 dB(A) for C1000R and C1500R models, and 56 dB(A) for the C2000R model . Medium speed reduces both the air velocity to 6.5 m/s and the sound level to approximately 53-54 dB(A), depending on the model . Lastly, low speed further lowers these parameters to 5.0 m/s and sound pressure level to 49-50 dB(A). These settings thus allow users to choose performance trade-offs between air delivery and operational noise.

The optional EEPROM in the Ecopower Remote Control system allows the air curtain to continue functioning even when the remote control is unplugged, offering increased system flexibility . This feature is particularly beneficial for installations where continuous connection of the remote control is inconvenient or impractical. It enables users to maintain their preferred settings without physically keeping the remote plugged in, allowing more versatile spatial configurations and minimizing clutter . The EEPROM's ability to store settings ensures that the air curtain operates consistently according to pre-set conditions, enhancing user convenience and operational reliability.

The DIP switch settings provide various control options that influence the operation of the fan and heating elements of the Ecopower air curtain. Setting DIP 1 ON, for instance, enables the fan heat interlock, which allows fan speed to determine the heat output—high heat is only available at high fan speed . This control prevents excessive heat when using low or medium speeds and is particularly useful for electric heated units to limit high air temperatures . On the other hand, DIP 2 can disable the fan run-on function when set to OFF, which is used for electric air curtains and enables fan run-on at medium speed upon shutdown . Each air curtain must be configured correctly using these DIP switches for optimal performance, and misconfiguration may lead to inefficiencies or system faults.
