General Instructions

Read these instructions carefully prior to
installation and use. Keep this manual for
future reference.
The product may only be used as set out in
the assembly and operating instructions. The
guarantee is only valid should the product be used
in the manner intended and in accordance with
the instructions.

Application area

PAEC4000 is developed to fit all entrances.
Recommended installation height up to:
4 meters/13.1 feet. The air curtain is available
without heat, with electrical heating and with
water heating.
Protection class for units with electrical heating:
IP20.
Protection class for units without heating and
units with water heating: IP21.
Operation
Air is drawn in at the top/rear of the unit and
blown downwards/outwards shielding the
door opening and minimizing heat loss. To
achieve the optimum air curtain effect the unit
must extend the full height/width of the door
opening.
The grille for directing the outlet air is
adjustable and is normally angled outwards to
achieve the best protection against incoming
air.
The efficiency of the air curtain depends on
the air temperature, the pressure differencial
across the doorway and any wind load.
NOTE! Negative pressure in the building
considerably reduces the efficiency of the air
curtain. The ventilation should therefore be
balanced.

Installation and operating instructions
Mounting
The air curtain range can be adapted for
vertical or horizontal installation. The units can
also be installed by recessing into suspended
ceilings.

Horizontal mounting

The air curtain unit is installed horizontally with
the supply air grille facing downwards as close
to the door as possible. Minimum distance from
outlet to floor for electrically heated units is
1800 mm/70.9 in. For other minimum distances,
see fig. 3.
For the protection of wider openings, several
units can be mounted next to each other using
a joining kit (fig. 9).
A design kit for a neat installation that
conceals cables, pipes and mountings is
available for both wall and ceiling installations,
se accessories pages.
