DO NOT COVER OR OBSTRUCT the air inlet or outlet grille.
ENSURE THE APPLIANCE IS EARTHED.
Do not use this heater in areas where excessive dust exists.
This heater must not be located immediately above or below a fixed
socket outlet or connection box.
Always disconnect supply before working on the product.
A suitable termination to the fixed wiring of the premises must be
provided adjacent to the final position of the appliance.
This product should be mounted safely to solid wall or ceiling
surfaces only
This product must not be subjected to water spray or immersion.
Ensure the supply cables are of adequate current carrying capacity
and are protected by a suitable fuse.
If the appliance is mounted in a toilet or washroom, the appliance
should be mounted such that no part of it can be touched by a
person using a fixed bath or shower.
If the appliance is mounted in a toilet or washroom an isolating
switch must be provided outside the washroom adjacent to the
entrance door.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervi-
sion or instruction concerning use of appliance by a person re-
sponsible for their safety
This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room tem-
perature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are
occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room, unless con-
stant supervision is provided.
WARNING: Isolate electrical supply to ALL modular linked units
when carrying out maintenance.

Fixing Positions
This appliance may be either wall-mounted or fixed to a ceiling - see Fig. 3 for
various fixing positions and ‘Mounting’ sections below, for fixing details. A mini-
mum distance of 100mm is required from top of the appliance to ceiling (see ‘a’ in
Fig. 1) and also the distance between the bottom of the appliance and the top of the
door should be kept to a minimum (see ‘b’ in Fig. 1).
Wall Mounting
Using the wall mounting bracket as a guide (see Fig. 2) mark off hole positions on
the wall (a minimum height of 2.0 metres is required from the floor level to the
bottom of the bracket). Position the bracket such that the air outlet of the installed
air barriers will be as close to the top of the doorway as possible but will remain
unobstructed when installation is complete.
Solid brick or concrete block walls must be drilled and plugged (using a spirit level as
a guide - see ‘x’ in Fig. 2 - to ensure the bracket is level) with rawlplug No. 8 size fibre
inserts. The plug must be located in the solid part of the wall and not just in the
plaster layer.
When fixing to ‘panel’ walls, the wall bracket should be attached to the stud-work
using No. 8 wood screws or by an alternative, equally secure method of fixing.
Once the wall bracket has been fitted, the air barrier can be clipped in place as
shown in Fig. 3a.
Ceiling Mounting
By using threaded inserts in the top panel of the air barrier, attachment to a ceiling
over the product can be achieved using suitable M8 threaded steel rod or similar
supports of sufficient strength - see Fig. 3b.
Electrical connection
All products are fitted with a microprocessor control. Electrical power and control
connections are made as shown in Fig. 6. A suitable local isolating switch must be
provided in the electrical supply circuit with at least 3mm clearance on each pole.
In order to access the electrical connections, remove the outlet grilles (‘x’, and ‘y’
in Fig. 4) by releasing the quick release fasteners and hinging the mouldings as
shown. Remove the bottom panel (‘z’ in Fig. 4) and also remove the pressure plate
(‘w’ in Fig. 4).
All Electric Models - Having removed a ‘knock out’ in the top panel, feed an
appropriate supply cable (see ‘a’ in Fig. 6A) through a suitable cable gland (not
supplied) fitted in the top panel and attach to the terminal block (see ‘b’ in Fig. 6A).
All Water heated and Ambient Models - Having removed a 'knock out'
in the top panel, feed an appropriate supply cable (see 'a' in Fig. 6B) through a
suitable cable gland (not supplied) fitted in the top panel and attach to the PCB (see
'b' in Fig. 6B ).
All Models - A suitable cable (CA
CABC5 for electrically heated models or CABC6 for water heated/ambient models)
can be similarly introduced through the top panel and plugged into the circuit board
as shown in Fig. 6A & 6B . If the unit is to be operated in conjunction with a door
switch, a normally open switch should be wired as per Fig. 7 & 8 as appropriate.
Note: If using a door switch, an additional 2 core (low Voltage) cable is required
between the door switch and the air barriers.
If the unit is to be connected to a Building Energy Management System, connections
are made as per Fig. 7 & 8 as appropriate. Ensure that the air curtain is securely
fastened in position and that the supply cables are firmly clamped before operating
the appliance.
Water connection
Models designed for use in conjunction with a low pressure hot water supply should
be individually connected (in a parallel circuit) to the flow and return pipe-work.
Connections (see ‘a’ in Fig. 5) are: ½ “BSPT (CAB series) and ¾” BSPT (DAB series)
and isolation valves (see ‘b’ in Fig. 5) should be fitted as close to the air barrier
connection points as possible. For commissioning, air bleed valves (see ‘c’ in Fig.
5) are fitted to the coil, which can be accessed by removal of the lower panel and
intake grille - see Fig. 4. The drain (see ‘d’ in Fig. 5) can also be accessed when the
grille and lower panel is removed.
Maximum water supply conditions are 125ºC and 8 bar.

appliance. By removing the water coil and appropriate knockouts the water coil can
then be re-inserted into the required orientation. This procedure should be carried out
before mounting the appliance.
