feed the unit are the same voltage.
5. Run wires from power supply disconnect to the outlet box.
Choose which knockout to use either from the back of the
cabinet or from the top of the cabinet. Use appropriate
wiring according to local code. Use a flexible connector to
allow for possible angle adjustments if necessary. You
may start connection of the power supply wire to the
internal wire leads with the cable attached to the outlet
box assembly. Use appropriate wire nuts (not provided).
There will be just the three wires for each of the three
phases to connect and the supply ground wire to the

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.
