Frico Control for Air Curtains
FC Control enables many smart and automated functions and allows you to optimize your comfort with minimum effort, customized to your specific needs. Today, different Frico product groups such as air curtains and fan heaters can be installed in the same system, with great benefits.
Customize Your Comfort
Frico air curtains come with an integrated PC-board and are supplemented with the intelligent control system FC of your choice, working together to create many smart and energy saving features. There are four different packages to choose from, depending on your requirements; FC Direct, FC Smart, FC Pro and FC Building. In addition to our four packages, components can be added to expand and customize the system.

One System, Numerous Possibilities
){kind=icon}
Energy savings with precise control
Included in all levels
By receiving and reacting to information about the current room temperature in addition to the air curtain's inlet and outlet temperatures, the right amount of heat is added to avoid overshoots and thus reducing energy consumption.
){kind=icon}
Automatic heat blocking
Included in FC Pro
To avoid unnecessary heating, the system automatically blocks any additional heat when the outdoor temperature reaches a given value (15°C by default).
){kind=icon}
Vestibule function
Included in FC Smart and FC Pro
By installing two air curtains with a setting for vestibules, a dual function can be obtained. The outer air curtain operates with a higher airflow with less heat, providing a stronger outer shield. The inner air curtain operates with a lower airflow with more heat, providing more comfort and lower sound level.

Enhanced water control
Available with FC Smart, FC Pro or FC Building
Water heat is more accurate controlled with improved water functions and modulating actuators. Automatic functions such as bypass, frost protection and return water temperature control (with sensor FCWTA) improve product functionality without any additional effort.
){kind=icon}
Easy set-up and operation
Included in all levels
The system automatically detects any products or sensors that are connected to it and immediately becomes functional. If anything is removed, a notification is sent out, and the system remains operational according to the new conditions.
){kind=icon}
Optimized energy consumption with door contact
Included in all levels
An easily installed door contact is included in all control levels. This enables the air curtain to become active only when needed and remain on stand-by when the door is closed, thus saving energy.
){kind=icon}
Wireless sensors offer easier installations
Applies to FCTXRF. Indoor/outdoor wireless sensor (for FC Smart, FC Pro)
Indoor and outdoor temperatures can be measured by wireless sensors, which allows for quicker and easier installations as no preparatory work is needed to connect cables through walls.
){kind=icon}
Create zones
Available with FC Smart or FC Pro
The zone feature allows you to create different zones for different conditions and products in a larger system, to create maximum comfort and energy savings in all areas. All zones can be controlled from the same app.
){kind=icon}
Automatic airflow control
Included in FC Pro
In order to generate the best possible door protection in any given condition, the system automatically adjusts the airflow steplessly between 0–100% based on the indoor and outdoor temperature.

FC Direct
A great start
Entry level control system for a great start. The door contact provides an automatic energy-saving function, as the air curtain becomes active only when the door is open. When the door is closed, it remains on stand-by or runs on a lower fan speed if extra heat is needed. With the calender function, you can choose periods of comfort and reduced mode. The control panel has a built-in temperature sensor, which is used for control when external sensors are not used.
