Operating instructions
R3G500-AF32-11
Translation of the original operating instructions
→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles
before opening the device.
CAUTION
In the event of a fault, the rotor and the impeller will be
energized
The rotor and the impeller have basic insulation.
→ Do not touch the rotor and impeller once installed.
CAUTION
If control voltage or a stored speed set value is applied,
the motor will restart automatically, e.g. after a power
failure.
Risk of injury
→ Keep out of the device danger zone.
→ When working on the device, switch off the line voltage
and ensure that it cannot be switched back on.
→ After working on the device, remove any tools or other
objects from the device.
1.5 Safety and protective features
DANGER
Protective device missing and protective device not
functioning
Without a protective device there is a risk of serious injury, for
instance if the hands reach or are sucked into the device during
operation.
→ Operate the device only with a fixed protective device and
guard grille.# The fixed protective device must be able to
withstand the kinetic energy of a fan blade that becomes
detached at maximum speed. There must not be any gaps
which it is possible to reach into with the fingers, for example.
→ The device is a built-in component. As the operator, you
are responsible for ensuring that the device is secured
adequately.
→ Stop the device immediately if you notice a missing or
ineffective protective device.
1.6 Electromagnetic radiation
Interference from electromagnetic radiation is possible, e.g. in conjunction
with open- and closed-loop control devices.
If impermissible radiation levels occur following installation, appropriate
shielding measures have to be taken by the user.
NOTE
Electrical or electromagnetic interference after installing
the device in customer equipment.
→ Verify that the entire setup is EMC-compliant.
1.7 Mechanical movement
DANGER
Rotating device
Risk of injury to body parts coming into contact with the rotor or
the impeller.
→ Secure the device against accidental contact.
→ Before working on the system/machine, wait until all
parts have come to a standstill.
DANGER
Ejected parts
Missing protective devices may cause balancing weights or
broken fan blades to be ejected and cause injuries.
→ Take appropriate safety measures.
WARNING
Rotating device
Long hair and dangling items of clothing, jewelry and the like
can become entangled and be pulled into the device. Injuries
can result.
→ Do not wear any loose-fitting or dangling clothing or jewelry
while working on rotating parts.#Protect long hair with a cap.
1.8 Emissions
WARNING
Depending on the installation and operating conditions,
the sound pressure level may exceed 70 dB(A).
Risk of noise-induced hearing loss
→ Take appropriate technical safety measures.
→ Protect operating personnel with appropriate safety
equipment such as hearing protection.
→ Also observe the requirements of local agencies.
1.9 Hot surface
CAUTION

4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP
4.1 Mechanical connection
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing fan from
packaging
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the fan
impeller. Strictly avoid shocks.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
CAUTION
Heavy load when unpacking device
Risk of physical injury, such as back injuries.
→ Two people should work together to remove the device from
its packaging.
;Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to
be installed.
;Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.
CAUTION
Possible damage to the device
If the device slips during installation, serious damage can result.
→ Ensure that the device is securely positioned at its place of
installation until all fastening screws have been tightened.
4.2 Electrical connection
DANGER
Voltage on the device
Electric shock
→ Always connect a protective earth first.
→ Check the protective earth.
DANGER
Faulty insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation
regulations for voltage, current, insulation material, capacity,
etc.
→ Route cables so that they cannot be touched by any
rotating parts.
DANGER
Electrical charge (>50 µC) between phase conductor and
protective earth connection after switching off supply
with multiple devices connected in parallel.
Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact.
Before working on the electrical hookup, short the supply
and PE connections.
CAUTION
Voltage
The fan is a built-in component and has no disconnecting switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the fan, secure the system/machine in
which the fan is installed so as to prevent it from being
switched back on.
NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables
Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the
device.
→ Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a dry
environment.
Only connect the device to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole disconnection switch.
4.2.1 Requirements
;Check whether the data on the nameplate match the connection data.
;Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches
the device voltage.
;Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the
nameplate.
For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according
to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section
equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².
Ground conductor contact resistance according to EN 61800-5-1
Compliance with the impedance specifications according to EN 61800-5-
1 for the protective earth connection circuit must be verified in the end
application.
Depending on the circumstances of installation, it may be necessary to
connect an additional protective earth conductor to the extra protective
earth terminal on the device.
The protective earth terminal is on the housing and has a ground
conductor symbol and a bore hole.

Operating instructions
R3G500-AF32-11
Translation of the original operating instructions
4.2.2 Reactive currents
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 < 4 W.
4.2.3 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 trip threshold of 300 mA and delayed tripping
(super-resistant, characteristic K).
4.2.4 Locked-rotor protection
Due to the locked-rotor protection, the starting current (LRA) is
equal to or less than the nominal current (FLA).
4.3 Connection in terminal box
4.3.1 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 torques,
see Chapter 3.1 Product drawing.
NOTE
Tightness and strain relief are dependent on the cable
used.
→ This must be checked by the user.
Fig. 1: Recommended stripped lengths in mm (inside terminal box)
Legend: CL = control lines
4.3.2 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 provided in the terminal box.
;Route the wire(s) (not included in 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.
