INSPECTION
The frequency of the cleaning schedule is dependent upon the environment the air curtain has been installed into. As a minimum Dimplex recommend a weekly inspection to ensure that there is no significant build-up of dust or dirt reducing the performance of the air curtain and causing nuisance smell. Upon inspection, if any foreign objects are encountered which may cause damage to the fan, impellors or elements they must be removed.
The external appearance of the air curtain can be maintained by wiping occasionally with a damp cloth. For stain removal, a weak soap solution can be applied with a cloth and the surface wiped dry. Care must be taken to avoid any moisture ingress into the product.
- The inside of the air curtain must be cleaned at a minimum interval of once every 3 months, or more frequently if the weekly inspection deems it necessary. To clean the product remove the inlet grills by doing the following:
a. Using a flat head screwdriver, loosen both outlet grill screws to remove the grill ('x' in Fig. 4)
b. Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove the three M4 screws to remove the bottom panel ('z' in Fig. 4)
c. Locate and remove the two M4 screws located behind the inlet grills on the lower left and right hand sides (fi xed to the end caps)
d. Rotate and remove the inlet grill to expose the heating elements
- Once the heater bank has been accessed the unit can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment being careful not to disturb or damage the internal wiring or thermal cutouts. When the element bank has been cleaned, the inlet grill must be replaced before the air curtain is turned back on.
- Please note that the motors do not require any additional lubrication.

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 rawplug 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 fi xing 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 fi xing.
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.
Vertical Mounting
When mounting the CAB units vertically use the mounting kit CABVM1.
Multiple Units
When connecting multiple units together use the kit CABM1.
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.
Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
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 a7knock 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 (CAT5 or equivalent) for a switch panel (kit ref. - 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 or closed switch, as required for the application should be wired as per Fig. 7 & 8.
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: 12 "BSPT (CAB series) and 34 " 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 125^ and 8 bar.
To aid installation, the water coil connections may be moved to either side of the 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.
Switch Panel Installation
The backing box (standard double gang) should be mounted onto a suitable wall. Suitable conduit should be used where applicable to carry the cable between the heater and the switch. A CAT5 LAN cable with straight through connections should be used to connect the switch panel to the appliance PCB.
Warning: Ensure cable is secure and the cable path does not come into contact with heater element or other moving parts. Test all switch settings once installation is complete.
