5.2.3 Reactive current
Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance
with EMC limits (interference emission and immunity
to interference), reactive currents can be measured in
the supply line even when the motor is at a standstill
and the line voltage is switched on.
The values are typically less than 250 mA.
At the same time, the effective power in this
operating state (operational readiness) is
typically < 5 W.
5.2.4 Residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
Only universal residual current devices (type B or B+)
are allowed. As with variable frequency drives,
residual current devices cannot provide personal
safety while operating the device.
When the device’s power supply is switched on,
pulsed charging currents from the capacitors in the
integrated EMC filter can lead to the residual current
devices tripping without delay. We recommend the
use of residual current circuit breakers with a tip
threshold of 300 mA and delayed tripping (super-
resistant, characteristic K).
5.2.5 Leakage current
For asymmetrical power systems or if a phase fails,
the leakage current can increase to a multiple of the
nominal value.
5.2.6 Locked-rotor protection
Due to the locked-rotor protection, the starting current
(LRA) is equal to or less than the nominal current
(FLA).
5.3 Connection in terminal box
5.3.1 Preparing cables for connection
Only strip the cable as far as necessary, ensuring that the cable
gland is sealed and there is no strain on the connections. For
tightening torque, see chapter 3.1 Product drawing.
NOTE
Tightness and strain relief are dependent on the
cable used.
→ This must be checked by the user.

5.3.2 Connecting wires to terminals
WARNING
Live terminals and connections even with device
switched off
Electric shock
Wait five minutes after disconnecting the
voltage at all poles before opening the device.
Remove the cap from the cable gland.
Only remove caps where cables are fed in.
Equip the cable glands with the seals inserts provided in the
terminal box.
Route the wire(s) (not included in the scope of delivery) into
the terminal box.
First connect the “PE” (protective earth).
Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.
Use a screwdriver to do so.
When connecting, ensure that no wire ends fan out.
Seal the terminal box.
Fig. 2: Connecting the wires to terminals
5.3.3 Cable routing
Water must be prevented from reaching the cable gland along
the cable.
NOTE
Damage caused by moisture penetration.
Moisture can penetrate into the terminal box if water
is constantly present at the cable glands.
→ To prevent the constant accumulation of water at
the cable glands, the cable should be routed in a U-
shaped loop wherever possible.# If this is not
possible, a drip edge can be produced by fitting a
cable tie directly in front of the cable gland for
example.
Fans installed upright
When routing the cable, make sure that the cable glands are
located at the bottom. The cables must always be routed
downwards.

7.1 Cleaning
For long life the fan needs to be checked regularly, with
particular attention to smooth operation and dust build. Heavy
dust build up, especially on the motor housing and the impeller,
and/or large vibrations can destroy the fan. In this case, switch
off the fan immediately and clean it.
If heavy corrosion is identified on load-bearing or rotating parts
of the unit, switch it off immediately and replace it. Repair of
load-bearing or rotating parts is not permitted.
The advised cleaning method is a dry clean e.g. with
compressed air. If water is needed the suggested method is the
use of a traditional water hose. Cleaning with a pressure is
possible if the instructions below are strictly obeyed
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunctions possible
Do not use acid, alkali or solvent-based
cleaning agents.
Do not disconnect the EC fan from the supply
voltage. Switch off via controller (0V)
Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects
for cleaning.
Instructions for cleaning
Before cleaning with a pressure washer:
Check if the cable glands are suitably tightened
Operate the fan for one hour with 100% speed
(minimum 80% speed)
Dried soil needs to be soaked until it softens. If the
facility is fitted with a stationary soaking unit, it needs
to be ensured that the fans are included. If the fans
are not included they need to soak separately, e.g.
with the help of a water hose or a backpack sprayer.
During cleaning with pressure washer:
Only clean the unit when it is stopped; disconnected
from the power supply and secure it against
restarting.
Maximum pressure setting of 60-80bar / 870-160 psi
and a minimum distance of 0.4m / 1.4 ft must be
maintained!
Only direct water jets at the rotor side, never at the
motor side.
Avoid directing the pressure washer at the
condensation drainage hole.
The water stream has to be oriented in the direction
of the motor shaft, vertical to the fan. Never
perpendicular to the shaft.
After cleaning agents were used, wash off with fresh water
Ensure the condensation drainage hole (if present) is
not obstructed by dirt.
If cleaning agents were used, wash off with fresh
water
After cleaning, run the fan for at least 2 hours at
maximum speed.
Confirm the fan is running smoothly, without
vibration, by doing a vibration test.
Adjust maintenance intervals to the level of dust
exposure.
