 1. GENERAL GUIDLINES

Air Curtain is an electrical device producing a directional air flow. When mounted
above the doorways it separates the indoor space from the outdoor ambience
functioning as if a closed door. Meanwhile the door remains open and provides
free entrance and contact. By producing a homogeneous air flow the Air Curtain
prevents the heat losses and protects the indoor space from the adverse weather
conditions. This allows creating an agreeable microclimate indoors, thus reducing
energy consumption by heaters and air-conditioners by saving up to 60-80%.
Functionally Air Curtains represent the energy saving class of equipment and are
used together with other types of climatic equipment.

“OLEFINI S.A.” Air Curtains are manufactured

in strict compliance with the following quality
standards:
International Organization for Standards ISO
9001:2000 , European Standard - CE,
Russian Standard - PCT

 1.2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCT IONS

Generally, efficiency of an Air Curtain depends on the temperature differences ,

difference of air density inside and outside of the protected premises, building
openinigs , as well as the height of the Air Curtain installation ,on the wind loading
and other less important factors.
To choose an Air Curtain successfully , an engineer or assembler should study
attentively the premises where the equipment is to be mounted and to consider the
above factors.
It is recommended to mount “OLEFINI S.A” Air Curtains in such a way so that air
outlet is as close to the edge of the protected doorway as possible. It is desirable
that the nozzles of the Air Curtains completely block the doorway. “OLEFINI S.A”
Air Curtains can be mounted separately or in a cascade connection , providing in
this way protection of doorways of any width or height.
Bellow is the description of a simplified way of selecting Air Curtains with only
height of mounting and type of the protected premises taken into consideration.

ATTENTION
*Air Curtains are mounted so that there are no hindrances for the free air inflow
and outflow when the device is switched on . It is strictly forbidden to close the
air inlet diffuser .
*It is necessary to disconnect power supplies before mounting or repositioning
the Air Curtain .
*It is forbidden to mount an Air Curtains above electric sockets and wires under
tension .
*It is forbidden to mount an Air Curtains below 1,8 m height .
*Mounting of Air Curtains with the water heat exchanger requires special
attention to the connection of the Air Curtain to the hydraulic system of the
premises .

 1.3 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

All “OLEFINI ” Air Curtains without Heaters (simple) and Heated Air Curtains (with water
heating), except models with a rotor diameter of 180 mm, work with a single-phase
alternating-current mains 230 (+ 10 %) V, 50 Hz with grounding.

These models are delivered with

the Euro plug and should be used
with a socket of the same type with
grounding .
The standard power cable should
have profile 3x0,75 sq. mm. In case
230 V,

of using a longer cable than the
standard one, it is recommended to
3x0,75 mm2

All the simple and water Air Curtains The neutral is connected to N
connections except a model line with Grounding to
the rotor diameter of 180 mm, should
be performed only through the
unipolar 6 Amperes automatic safety
device switch, where the gap
between the contacts to be at least 3
mm.
All the Heated Air Curtains with electric heating and also those
with water heating with the rotor diameter of 180 mm work with a
three-phase alternating-current mains 400 (+ 10 %) V, 50 Hz with
Neutral and Grounding. The cable is connected to the terminals in
a special plastic box which is located on the top of the unit .
Small capacity models can work with a single-phase alternating-
current mains. It is necessary to connect terminals R, S, T for this
purpose (in this case one should to pay attention to the profile of the
power cable).

 1.4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

All “OLEFINI S.A” Air Curtains are designed and produced for a long-term
operation under condition of observance of the following rules of maintenance
and servicing:

AIR CURTAINS WITHOUT HEATING

1. Clean the air filters on the regular basis (each 7-15 days) by water or by air
stream (by means of a vacuum cleaner).
2. See to it that extraneous subjects do not get into the Air Curtain (screw-
drivers, pencils etc.). They can damage the fan.
3. Unusual noise or vibration of the Air Curtain can be a malfunction sign. It is
necessary to apply to the service centre.

AIR CURTAINS WITH HEATING

1. Regular clearing of the filters of a thermal air curtain will help you to avoid
many problems. It is necessary to clean the air filters every other 15 days. If the
air is highly polluted, clean the filters every 7 - 10 days.
2. It is recommended to carry out the following test on the regular basis to
provide the maximum efficiency of the thermal air curtain with electric heating
(except the air curtains with a strip heater).
Press the button OFF while the device is on. If the Air Curtain works normally,
heating elements will be disconnected at once, but the fan will continue to work
until the system temperature falls to +35º C (thermostat TN1set temperature).
After that the fan will be switched off. If something goes wrong, apply to the
service centre.
3. When the Air Curtain with electric heating is not in use, clean the electric
heaters carefully. Extraneous subjects on the heater can provoke
inflammation. The best way to clean the thermal elements is to use a vacuum
cleaner or a soft brush.
4. For all the air curtains with water heating, see to it that the water inside the
device is fresh and pure. It is recommended to have a water filter for treating
the water from dirt.
5. When the Air Curtain with water heating is not in use for a long time empty
the water out from heat exchangers to avoid breakage.

ATTENTION:
Always see to it that the Air Curtain working in a Heating Mode is never
switched off by an electric knife switch. Switch the Air Curtains off only by the
wired or the infrared remote control !!
