  • Select the Right Air Curtain

    • Choose an air curtain appropriate for your door's width, height, and purpose (e.g., heating, cooling, dust or insect barrier).

  • Prepare the Installation Area

    • Clear the doorway area and ensure no obstructions will interfere with the installation.

  • Measure and Mark the Mounting Position

    • Measure the width of the door and find the center.

    • Mark the mounting holes on the wall or door frame above the doorway, ensuring the air curtain will be aligned properly with the door’s center.

    • Placement Height: The air curtain should ideally be mounted 2-3 inches above the door frame for maximum efficiency.

  • Drill Holes for Mounting

    • Use a drill to make holes at the marked points.

    • Install wall plugs if mounting on a masonry or concrete surface.

  • Attach the Mounting Bracket

    • If the air curtain comes with a mounting bracket, secure the bracket to the wall using screws. Use a level to ensure the bracket is straight.

  • Mount the Air Curtain

    • Lift the air curtain unit and secure it onto the bracket or directly onto the wall using screws.

    • Double-check that the unit is securely fastened and level.

  • Electrical Connection

    • Plug-in Model: Simply plug the unit into a nearby power outlet.

    • Hardwired Model: Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Connect the unit to the electrical system following the manufacturer’s wiring diagram. If unsure, consult a professional electrician for this step.

  • Test the Unit

    • Turn on the air curtain and test its operation.

    • Ensure the airflow covers the entire doorway width and creates an invisible barrier when the door is open.

  • Adjust Settings

    • Adjust the speed and temperature (if applicable) based on your requirements.

  • Finalize the Installation

    • Clean up the area, and ensure all screws and wiring are secure.

    • Regularly check for maintenance needs like filter cleaning or fan adjustments.
