The Clever is the central regulation platform for Airtecnics air curtain installations. Its 2.8-inch color TFT display provides an intuitive touch interface for configuring and monitoring door air barriers across commercial, industrial, and cold-storage facilities. The controller uses three temperature sensors — indoor ambient, outdoor, and discharge air — to automatically adjust fan speed and heating output for optimal thermal separation while minimizing energy consumption.

How does the Clever manage multi-unit air curtain installations?

A single Clever TFT controller can command up to 255 individual air curtain units over RS485 Modbus RTU. Each unit connects via RJ11 and RJ45 cables to the controller PCB housed in a varnish-protected 218 × 140 × 64 mm enclosure. The system supports mixed heating types — electric, hot water, heat pump, or unheated — across different door positions, all managed from one panel. For building-wide integration, optional Modbus TCP Ethernet and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules connect the Clever directly to a BMS.

What energy-saving features does the Clever provide?

Three selectable energy profiles — Eco, Medium, and Comfort — let facility managers balance thermal performance against operating cost. The automatic mode modulates fan speed and heating in response to real-time temperature differentials and door-open signals from the magnetic contact sensor. An integrated time scheduler in the Clever PRO variant supports up to 10 daily actions for set-and-forget operation aligned with facility occupancy patterns.

What types of air curtains is the Clever compatible with?

The controller works with AC and EC fan air curtains across all common heating media: electric resistance, hot water coil, direct-expansion heat pump, and ambient (unheated) air. It provides anti-freeze protection for water-coil units, filter maintenance alarms, and external alarm inputs for fire, overheat, and airflow fault integration. The Clever PRO Control variant consolidates all functionality into a single unit with no additional PCBs required.
