Next‚ connect the air curtain to the power supply‚ ensuring the wiring is correctly connected to the designated terminals. Refer to the wiring diagram included with your specific model for detailed instructions. Once the power is connected‚ test the air curtain to verify proper operation. If everything functions correctly‚ you can now adjust the airflow settings and direction to achieve optimal performance. Always consult the user manual for specific instructions and recommendations regarding your air curtain model.

Operation

Operating your Berner air curtain is a simple process‚ designed for user convenience.
