2. PROPER USE
The device is exclusively designed as a built-in device for moving air according
to its technical data.
Any other or secondary use is deemed improper and constitutes a misuse of the
device.
Installations on the customer's side must meet the mechanical, thermal and
service life-related stresses that can occur.
Proper use also includes:
–
Using the device only in power systems that are earthed at the neutral.
(Applicable only to 3-phase devices)
–
Moving air with a density of 1.2 kg/m.
–
Using the device in accordance with the permitted ambient temperature.
–
Operating the device with all protective features.
–
Observing the operating instructions.
Improper use
In particular, the following uses of the fan are prohibited and can lead to dangerous
situations:
–
Moving air that contains abrasive particles.
–
Moving highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray mist. Exceptions are devices that are
intended for salt spray mist and protected accordingly.
–
Moving air that contains dust pollution, e.g. suctioning off saw shavings.
–
Operating the fan in the vicinity of flammable materials or components.
–
Operating the fan in an explosive atmosphere.
–
Using the fan as a safety component or for taking on safety-related functions.
–
In addition, all application options that are not listed under proper use.
If you have specific questions, contact ebm-papst for support.
Electromagnetic compatibility
If several fans are switched in parallel on the mains side so that the
line current of the arrangement is in the range of 16 - 75 A, then this
arrangement conforms to IEC 61000-3-12 provided that the short-
circuit power Ssc at the connection point of the customer system to
the public power system is greater than or equal to 120 times the
rated output of the arrangement.
It is the responsibility of the installation engineer or operator/owner
of the device to ensure, if necessary after consultation with the net-
work operator, that this device is only connected to a connection
point with a Ssc value that is greater than or equal to 120 times the
rated output of the arrangement.
3. CONNECTION AND START-UP
3.1 Connecting the mechanical system
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing the device from the
packaging
Carefully lift the device out of the packaging; be sure to avoid any
shock.
Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
CAUTION
Heavy load when taking out the device
Bodily injuries, e.g. back injuries, are possible.
Two people should lift the blower out of its packaging if it is
heavier than 10 kg.
Install the device according to your application.
Use suitable fastening hardware for the installation.
3.2 Connecting the electrical system
DANGER
Electric voltage on the device
Electric shock
Always install an earth wire. Check the protective earth.
(Not applicable to DC-fed devices)
DANGER
Incorrect insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
Use only cables that meet the specified installation requirements
for voltage, current, insulation material, load etc.
DANGER
Electrical load (>50 μC) between mains wire and protective
earth connection after switching of the supply when switching
multiple devices in parallel.
Electric shock, risk of injury
Ensure that sufficient protection against accidental contact is
provided.
Before working on the electrical connection, the connections to
the mains supply and PE must be shorted. (Not applicable to DC-fed
devices)
CAUTION
Electrical voltage
The fan is a built-in component and features no electrically isolating
switch.
Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with an
all-pole separating switch.
When working on the motor, you must switch off the
system/machine in which the motor is installed and secure it from
being switched on again.
CAUTION
Electric shock
Electric voltage on the metal part
Use the device only with the cable guard provided for this purpo-
se. (Applicable only to devices with terminal boxes)
