2.8m and for RAC1309 is 3.4m.

1. General Information

1.1 Introduction

The heaters are designed for discreet positioning in

a suspended ceiling or bulkhead in the doorways of

retail or commercial premises. Overall energy sav-

ing is likely when the heater is sited above a fre-

quently opened external door as the airstream can

prevent heat loss. Will fit a recess as shallow as

195mm.

1.2 General

All installations must be in accordance with the

regulations in force in the country of use.

These instructions must be handed to the user on

3.1 Location

All units should be installed horizontally directly

over the door opening. It is recommended that the

air curtain is installed on the inside of the building,

within the open room space against a wall or

ceiling.

Care must be taken to allow complete free air

movement into the inlet grilles of the unit to ensure

correct working operation of the air curtain. The

discharge opening should be as close to the top of

the door as possible and cover the entire door

width.

Units can be mounted adjacent to each other to

cover the full door opening across wider

entrances.

The weight of the RAC13 heaters is 17kg

3.4 Installation

It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure

that the points of attachment to the building are

sound. Consultation with the consultant/architect or

owner of the building is recommended to ensure

that a sound, mechanically stable installation is

achieved.

Before fitting or wiring the air curtain, ensure the

outlet is facing the doorway as on the picture and

see the general installation guidance notes.

Using a pozidrive screwdriver slacken the two M5

screws in the corners near air inlet side and remove

the two M5 screws in opposite corner near the out-

let. lide the lid sideways until the keyhole slots

pass over the screw heads. The grille assembly can

now be removed from the case.

Each unit has 2 fixing brackets from which it is sus-

pended. The brackets may be removed to assist in

passing the air curtain through the recess then reat-

tached when in-situ.

Either drop rods or catenary wire can be used to

fasten the air curtain to the ceiling support structure.

The height between the ceiling face and the top of

the air curtain case needs to be adjusted to circa

140mm to enable the grille assembly to fit flush with

the ceiling. Adjust accordingly.

After fitting the product in the ceiling recess and ad-

justing the height to ensure that the grille sits flush

to the ceiling (when re-fitted) take the grille assem-

bly and refit using the screws removed.

ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MAIN EXTER-

NAL ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS SWITCHED

OFF EFORE COMMENCING ANY MAINTE-

NANCE ON THIS HEATER.

To obtain the best results from the heater, it is es-

sential to avoid the accumulation of dust and dirt

within the unit on the air inlet and discharge grilles.

For this reason regular cleaning is necessary, pay-

ing particular attention to the removal of dirt build up

on the rotor blades.

Cleaning of the fan is best carried out with a soft

brush.

The product should be serviced annually.

ervicing shall be undertaken by a competent per-

son.

6.2 General

If the air curtain does not operate after switching on,

then a suitably competent service engineer should

be called to identify the nature of the fault.

All Air Curtains are fitted thermal cut-outs and motor

thermal protection.

Other faults in relation to the element, motor and

wiring should be identified using conventional fault

finding techniques.

In the event that electrical components are replaced,

please ensure that electrical safety checks in accor-

dance with the regulations in force in the country of

use are undertaken.

6.3 Thermal and fault protection

The units are protected from overheating in the

event of fan failure or an obstruction of the free air-

flow by thermal cut-outs.

6. Servicing & Maintenance

6.1 Maintenance

If this happens, the thermal cut-outs effectively

switch off the appliance by disconnecting power to

the control circuit. The appliance will not operate

until the thermal cut-outs are manually reset. This

should be done by a competent electrician.

The heaters are also protected by thermal fuses to

prevent catastrophic failure. The thermal fuse will

trip and disconnect power to the affected heater.

Thermal fuses are not resettable.

6.4 Fault Conditions

If the heater will not operate, disconnect it from the

mains and arrange for a certified electrician to at-

tend to investigate the reason.

6.5 Replacing Fan Heater Assembly

Remove the lid.

Disconnect the internal wiring from the main termi-

nal block. Remove the four nuts and washers fixing

the fan heater assembly to the back of the case.

The fan heater assembly can now be eased for-

ward and removed from the heater case. Fit re-

placement fan heater and reassemble in reverse

order.

6.6 Spares

It is essential when ordering spares or replacement

parts to state the model number and the serial

number on the rating place fixed to the top of the

unit.

In the interest of progress the Company reserve the

right to vary specifications from time to time without

notice. The material listed is offered subject to the

Company’s General Conditions of ale, a copy of

which can be obtained on request.
