Installation Details

Screw location for grille removal Mounting

All units should be installed horizontally directly over the door opening. It is recommended that the air curtain is installed on the inside of the building, within the open room space against a wall or ceil-ing.
Care must be taken to allow complete free air movement into the inlet grilles of the unit to ensure correct working operation of the air curtain. The discharge opening should be as close to the top of the door as possible and must cover the entire door width.
Units can be mounted adjacent to each other to cover the full door opening across wider entranc-es.

Electrical Supply
The cable entry is located on the top centre of the heater. Cable entry is located on a removable bracket for easier installation. The heater is supplied with two 20mm cable glands. The cable gland holes can be enlarged by removing excess metal to 25mm. The bracket is secured by two hex head screws.

Installation
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the points of attachment to the building are sound. Consultation with the consultant/architect or owner of the building is recommended to ensure that a sound, mechanically stable installation is achieved.
All attachments must be capable of supporting the weight of the product.

Fault detection and LEDs

Fault detection

• When the air curtains are powered up in standby mode, a green LED on the main

• board shows that the 12V power supply is working correctly:
  When heat or cold blow is demanded the secondary PCBs are powered. A second

• LED on the main PCB shows that the second 12V power supply is working correctly:

• A fault with the auxiliary power is indicated by a flashing orange LED on the main PCB:

• A green LED on the secondary PCBs shows that they are receiving 12V power:

• The air curtain monitors the fan speed, power output and heatsink temperature. In the event of a fault the red LED on the sec-ondary PCB flashes:

The red LED flashes a number of times and then pauses. The number of flashes de-notes the fault.

Over heat protection reset
The heater is equipped with electronic over heat protection and also manually resetta-ble over temperature cut-outs. There are two cut-outs on each blower module on the top of the heating element. The CA13 and CA15 heaters have four cut-outs in to-tal and CA20 six cut-outs. In the unlikely event of electronic failure, the mechanical cut-outs will switch off power to the heating element. In order to reset cut-outs, isolate the heater from power and press small plastic push button on the top of each cut-out. The cause of cut-outs operating should be investigated before resetting.

BMS Connection MODBUS Protocol

BMS Connection
The heater is compatible with BMS systems using MODBUS protocol.
The connection to BMS system can be made using one of the RJ45 connectors.

Only one means of control can be used at any time. If BMS is used to control the heater, the colour screen controller must not be used. The BMS can control fan speed and heat output and also read and report the heater status. Speed can be set in the range of 600 – 1700RPM in 1RPM steps. If the speed is set below 600RMP, the heating element is automatically disabled. Care has to be taken when selecting speed. The fan speed should be always correct for the selected heat output. If the speed is too low, the heater can overheat. Heat output can be set in the range of 0 – 100% in 1% steps.

MODBUS Protocol

The DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 are used to configure each air curtain with a unique address.

RJ45 cable can be used to network up to 7 air cur-tains in a daisy-chain configuration.
DIP switch setting 000X is reserved for when a con-troller or BMS is not used.
All possible addresses:

• RS485 serial half-duplex interface
• MODBUS RTU
• 9600 baud
• 8 bits

Touchscreen Controller Operation

Home Screen

The home screen provides information about the heater status and all relevant functions.

• Time
• Operating mode
• Heater status
• Door switch status
• Timer status
• Heat output
• Fan speed
• ON / Stand-by button
• Settings menu button

Settings menu

All functions and settings are available from this menu.
Time

The time can be set using the arrow buttons. A coin battery CR1220 maintains the time when power is interrupted. Time is displayed on the home screen and needs to be set to use the timer function.

Lock

PIN function can be enabled to prevent unwant-ed operation of the heater or changing the set-tings.
The PIN can be completely disabled, enabled for settings only or all functions.
The default Pin is set as 1234, but can be changed using the Change Pin button. If the PIN is forgotten contact Consort technical help.
Timer

The 7 day timer function allows scheduling auto-matic switching between on and stand-by. Each day can be individually enabled or disabled. The timer allows up to two periods of operation per day. The white bars indicate when the heater is timed to switch on.
Use the settings buttons to set up the time for each day (see next page), and the copy button to copy settings from one day to another.

Touchscreen Controller Operation – cont

Timer – time schedule

There are 2 timer periods for each day available. Tapping the slider in the top right corner will change between 1 or 2 time periods.
The times for the first time periods are on the top of the screen, the times for the second timer period are on the bottom of the screen. Times can be ad- justed in 15 minute intervals using the buttons.
When the timer is active, an icon will appear on the home screen giving information about the next switch time.
External switches

There is a provision for 2 remote switches than can be wired into the air curtain with. The switches must be voltage free type, NO or NC configuration.
SW1 can be connected to a door switch or occu-pancy sensor installed in the door area. When the function is activated, the door switch will enable the air curtain when the door is open and disable it when the door is closed. The second slider is used to configure the system for the correct switch type. When the air curtain is disabled by the door switch, the heater will operate at a low fan speed. This will allow for a fast start-up when the door is opened. When SW1 is active, the home screen will show the status of the door switch.
SW2 is intended for a remote switch that can be used to disable the air curtain from a remote loca-tion. Usually this would be a simple BMS or external timer connection. Once disabled using remote switch the air curtain can’t be controller by the touchscreen controller and will remain disabled until enabled remotely.

Operating Mode selection

One of four operating modes can be selected. Each mode uses a different method of select-ing heat and fan settings when the air curtain is not in stand-by mode. Use the settings button to configure each mode.

Manual Mode

In manual mode user can select required fan and heat output by tapping + or – symbols on the home screen next to the fan and heat bars.

There are 8 fan speeds and 8 heat settings available. It is possible set maximum and mini-mum limits for fan speed and heat output. Once limits are set and functions activated, only limited fan speed and heat output will be available on home screen when in manual mode.

Automatic Mode

Automatic Mode is the best choice for easy to set-up efficiency and comfort. Set the height by moving slider to the required position. The air cur-tain will run at optimum fan speed and heat out-put based on the inlet temperature.
Temperature Mode 1

Temperature Mode 1 is very similar to Automatic Mode, with the addition of having an option for adjusting the airflow temperature. With the air-flow temperature set in the middle of the scale, this is equivalent to Automatic Mode.
In certain situations, when required, airflow can be increased or decreased by increasing or de-creasing the set installation height. Using a higher setting for the installation height will make the air curtain less energy efficient.

Temperature Mode 2

This operating mode is suitable for situations where the heater is used to maintain the room temperature or where the requirement is to ad-just the heat output based on the indoor/outdoor temperature.
This operating mode can use either the internal or supplied external temperature sensor.

The temperature on the left defines the starting point below which the air curtain uses full power. The temperature on the right defines the point above which the air curtain doesn’t produce any heat. As the measured temperature rises the heat output is gradually reduced until heater doesn’t produce any heat. Using the internal temperature, this mode can be used to maintain room temperature. With remote sensor installed outside, this mode can be used to compensate for external temper-ature. There is also an option to select fan function after the heater stops producing heat. Fan can be set to turn off after the heater stops producing heat or run all the time.

Heater status

The Status screen provides an overview of values from all connected heaters. The heaters need to be run before some of the values can be calcu-lated.
In the event of a fault a red warning triangle is displayed:

More details are available when tapping the details button. The detailed status screens are primarily for installers or engineers to help with installation or fault diagnostics.

The connected heaters screen shows all of the currently connected heaters, in order of address ID. Heaters are connected when the controller is first powered up. In order to connect to newly powered heaters, press Refresh to search for heaters.
For each connected heater, up to 3 detailed status screens are available. These are general status, faults and sensor screens.
The links to the faults and sensor screens are hid-den when no faults have been identified.

Heater status – cont.

The general status screen shows details about the heater and all of the internal blower units. The heater needs to be run before some of the values can be calculated.
The faults screen can provide detailed diagnos-tics of faults for each internal blower unit.
The sensor screen shows the status of the tem-perature sensors.
Energy usage

The energy usage screen provides information related to energy used from the day the heater was installed. The values are calculated based 3PH 400V and so will differ from actual energy usage when mains voltage is lower or higher.
Identification

User can set ID number for controller identifica-tion. This number is shown on the left hand cor-ner of the home screen. This feature is useful in situation where there are more than one control-ler side by side.
