Control and operation
Electronic control system
Model CA
2
with water coil has as a standard an integrated air and water control unit
and a motor-controlled three-way valve installed. The valve is operated by the
electronic control system in the unit. In air curtains with an electric heat exchanger
the energy supply to the heat exchanger is determined by an electric power control.
The operating system of the air curtain consists of the control panel and a
printed circuit board. The in- and outputs of the printed circuit board are connected
to a connector plate at the top of the unit, which facilitates the connection of
peripheral devices. The connector plate has six connections: to two of these the
control panel and any extra units can be connected. Besides, there are two outputs

The last connections are for the outside air sensor, which is needed for the CHIPS-
control and for, for instance, a door contact switch, room thermostat or a signal from
a building management system.

The control panel is connected to the unit using a low voltage cable with telephone

a maximum of ten air curtains can be operated. At the bottom of the panel there is a

The air curtain can be operated automatically or manually:
• Automatic
The CA
2
air curtain operates as a standard with the fully automatic control. In this
position the strength and temperature of the air stream are automatically adjusted
to the climatological conditions in accordance with the CHIPS-control(seepage9).
Personal settings
In the automatic position it is possible to enter personal settings in order to adjust
the operation of the air curtain to a specific situation. For instance, with an automatic
door it is possible to let the air curtain react fast or slowly, depending of the door
use, with the help of a door contact switch. It is also possible to keep the noise level
at a convenient level by not letting the air curtain operate in the maximum position.
• Manual
With this manual setting there are six positions to choose from to overrule the
automatic operation temporarily when the situation asks for it. To be assured of
the best possible climate separation the manual setting should be adjusted to
circumstances several times a day.
