operations.
The fan must be grounded.
Do not mount the fan on a ammable material, do not mount the fan directly
in the replace hood, do not cover the fan casing, do not build the fan into the
walls. Decompression grilles must be installed.
Do not operate the fan at the temperatures below 0 °C or above +150 °C as
well as in aggressive or explosive environment.
Use only heat-resistant metal air ducts and grilles to integrate the fan
into the ventilation system.
Do not operate the fan in an explosive or re-hazardous environment.
Prior to starting mounting make sure that power cable is not damaged, the
fan casing is not deformed and the impeller has free rotation and does not
touch the ange or the casing.
Follow general and special safety rules during the fan setup and operation.
The fan must be grounded.
The fan is designed for top or horizontal mounting depending on the model.
Install the fan on the even surface. The fan mounting options are stated in
g. 15-18.
Provide free air circulation to cool down the fan motor.
For vibration attenuation, it is recommended to install the fan on the rigid re-
resistant support made of gypsum plate 0.5 x 0.5 m with mineral wool layer.
The minimum distance between the fan and the heating source is 1.5 m, the
minimum distance from the fan casing to other objects is 0.5 m.
Install as many decompression grilles as required in the replace hood,
connect intake and air distribution ducts and x those with clamps.
Insulate the air ducts with mineral wool.
For the fans with GF option, adjust the gravity damper position in compliance
with the pointer direction. The damper must have horizontal installation.
GF damper is used for overheating protection of the heating / ventilation
system and the fan during the fan standby. To set the start temperature of the
fan from 0 °C up to +90 °C rotate the temperature controller knob.
Make sure that the chimney duct and the ame product removal system are
air tight to prevent ingress of combustion products in the room.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS
Connect the fan to power mains through the automatic switch.
Connection of the fan to power mains is allowed by a qualied electrician
only. The rated electrical parameter are stated on the rating plate.
Modications of internal connections are not allowed and will result in void
warranty.
Connect the fan only to power mains with valid electric standards.
For the fan connection use insulated, durable and heat-resistant cables with
copper wires, minimum cross section 0.5 mm2. The cable cross section may
vary depending on the maximum cable temperature depending on the wire
and insulation type, the maximum current, the cable length and cable layout
type.
The fan is connected to power mains though the terminal block, g. 19-
23, located in the fan terminal box, in compliance with wiring diagram and
terminal designation in g. 19.
The house cabling system must be equipped with an automatic switch at 230
V / 50 Hz external input.
The automatic switch trip current must be in compliance with the fan current
consumption (refer Table 1). The contact gap on all poles at least 3 mm.
Install the automatic switch to ensure prompt access. The recommended
rated automatic switch trip current is 1.6 A.
The integrated thermostat switch closes the fan power supply circuit, when
air temperature in the chimney reaches the set point. The fan is started and
supplies warm air to the room. When the temperature in the chimney falls
down below the set point, the fan turns o.
Cut power supply to the fan o by turning the automatic electric switch QF
to OFF position prior to any operations. Take steps to prevent activation of
the automatic switch.

Regular technical supervision and maintenance of the fan are required to
ensure the product long service life and non-stop operation."
Disconnect the fan from power mains prior to any maintenance
operations, g. 24-29.The fan maintenance consists in regular cleaning of the
fan surfaces of dust and dirt. Maintenance includes regular cleaning, control
of the impeller, motor, impeller blades.
Clean the impeller blades with a soft cloth or a brush wetted in a mild soap
solution. Clean the impeller blades at least once in 6 months.
Operation recommendations:
1. Clean the fan regularly from dust, dirt and foreign objects.
2. Check all fastening connections periodically.
3. Control generated noise and vibration. High vibration may indicate the
bearing wear, sticking of the dirt particles contained in the transported air,
the impeller blades wear, loose connection between the fan and the air duct.
4. Check periodically the fastening connections, impeller for possible blade
damages, check connection of the fan to the air duct and coating.
