Accessories play a critical role in maximizing air curtain performance by extending equipment life and simplifying installation. Because accessories are not typically included as standard with air curtains, choosing the right components is essential to getting the most out of your system. Mars Air accessories improve day-to-day operation and help solve common installation challenges, so your air curtain performs at its best for years to come.
The “Big 3” Accessories You May Need
Door Switches: These are used to automatically activate the air curtain when a door opens and turn it off when the door closes to help improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary operation.
- Common options include:
- Mechanical plunger/roller switches
- Magnetic switches
- Wireless switches
Controllers & Activation Methods: Controllers serve as the brain of the system. They can introduce short delays to prevent the motor from cycling on and off repeatedly in high-traffic doorways, ultimately extending the life of the air curtain. Controllers can also integrate with a building's main control system to ensure seamless, automatic operation.
Mounting Brackets: While air curtains can be mounted directly to a wall, mounting brackets are invaluable when obstructions such as pipes or signage are present, or when the unit needs to be offset from the wall or angled for optimal airflow coverage.
