Carefully read the operating manual before com-
missioning the units for the first time. It contains
useful tips and notes such as hazard warnings to
prevent personal injury and material damage.
Failure to follow the directions in this manual not
only presents a danger to people, the environment
and the system itself, but will void any claims for
liability.
Keep this operating manual and the refrigerant
data sheet near to the units.
1.2 Identification of notes
This section provides an overview of all important
safety aspects for proper protection of people and
safe and fault-free operation.The instructions and
safety notes contained within this manual must be
observed in order to prevent accidents, personal
injury and material damage.
Notes attached directly to the units must be
observed in their entirety and be kept in a fully
legible condition.
Safety notes in this manual are indicated by sym-
bols. Safety notes are introduced with signal words
which help to highlight the magnitude of the danger

eral business and delivery conditions". Further-
more, only the parties to a contract can conclude
special agreements beyond these conditions. In
this case, contact your contractual partner in the
first instance.
1.11 Transport and packaging
The devices are supplied in a sturdy shipping con-
tainer. Please check the equipment immediately
upon delivery and note any damage or missing

Disposal of packaging
All products are packed for transport in environ-
mentally friendly materials. Make a valuable contri-
bution to reducing waste and sustaining raw mate-
rials. Only dispose of packaging at approved
collection points.
Disposal of equipment and components
Only recyclable materials are used in the manufac-
ture of the devices and components. Help protect
the environment by ensuring that the devices or
components (for example batteries) are not dis-
posed in household waste, but only in accordance
with local regulations and in an environmentally
safe manner, e.g. using certified firms and recy-
cling specialists or at collection points.

3 Unit description
The combination of powerful axial fan and well
thought out accessories for connecting air distribu-
tion hoses make the unit a particularly versatile sol-
ution for aeration and ventilation, air circulation and
also for transporting warming air or cooling air over
longer distances.
The unit is also ideally suited to provide effective
support for dehumidifiers when drying buildings.
The rapid air movement breaks up the high
humidity layer on the material and increases the
evaporation rate. This results in walls, ceilings and
floors drying faster! The higher the flow rate on the
damp surface of the material, the faster the drying
process. Thus, the drying time can be drastically
shortened through the combination of dehumidi-
fiers and this powerful fan, depending on the
respective environment and temperature. The use
of additional fans accelerates the evaporation
whereby the drying process can be shortened by
up to 50%.
The unit has hose connection ports on both sides
allowing very versatile use.
The unit is equipped with a 2-speed high-perform-
ance axial fan, operating hours counter, motor
overload protection switch and mains cable with
230 V CEE connector.
The unit conforms to the fundamental health and
safety requirements of the appropriate EU stipula-
tions and is simple to operate.

4 Electrical wiring
nThe 230V electrical connection is made using a
built-in mains cable with earthed safety plug.
nConnect the power plug to a properly installed
and appropriately safeguarded mains socket.
nAll cable extensions must only be used in fully
un-reeled or reeled off condition.
WARNING!
The electrical connection for the units must be
made at a separate feed point with a residual
current device in accordance with VDE 0100,
Section 55.
5 Commissioning
Before the initial commissioning
nCheck that the unit and any accessories being
used are installed correctly.

6 Motor overload protec-
tion switch
The unit is equipped with a motor overload protec-
tion switch (MS), which interrupts the power supply
in the event of the electrical motor being over-
loaded and electrically interlocks the unit. The MS
is unlocked (reset) manually. To do so, press in the
button on the MS.
NOTICE!
If the motor overload protection switch has
been triggered, the cause of the malfunction
must be identified and rectified before a reset is
performed.
7 Shutdown
nMove the operating switch to the “0” position.
nRead off the operating hours counter if
required.
With longer breaks in operation:
nDisconnect the unit from the power supply.
nClean the unit if required and store in a location
protected from dust and direct sunlight.
The units can be stacked to save space if required.
Fig. 2: Stacking with max. 2 units
NOTICE!
The units must be protected against falling
down and unauthorised access after stacking.

8 Care and maintenance
General notes
Regular care and maintenance is fundamental
to a long service life and fault-free operation of
the unit.
In normal operation, the units are almost mainte-
nance-free. However, in order to guarantee contin-
uous fault-free operation, they should be checked
at regular intervals and cleaned or repaired when
necessary and in accordance with the respective
operating conditions.
DANGER!
Before undertaking any work on the units, the
mains plug must be removed from the mains
socket.
Cleaning the units
nThe units should be disconnected from the
electrical power supply and secured to prevent
unauthorised reactivation.
nClean the intake grill at regular intervals and
replace it if damaged.
nClean all intake openings and discharge fins.
nTo clean the fan blades, it is necessary to
remove the protection grid beforehand.
nClean severe soiling on the fan and the fan
housing with soap solution.
nClean the units dry or with a moistened cloth
and some soap solution if necessary.
nHigh pressure cleaners or steam cleaners shall
not be used under any circumstances.
nNever use abrasive or solvent-based cleaners.
nEnsure that the unit is not damaged if using
compressed air.
