If, in spite of the correct connection to the mains or to the frequency converter, the devices turn con-
trary to the given direction of rotation, this must be corrected. For this purpose two phases can be
interchanged at the terminal block (e.g. L1 with L2 or L2 with L3). Afterwards the direction of rotation
is to be checked again.
For the electrical connection, for the setting of the motor protection switch or for the parameterization
of a frequency inverter, only the technical data on the nameplate of the fan are relevant. ese may
differ from the technical data of the motor.
■Star circuit
■Delta circuit
For the star circuit, the terminals U2, V2 and W2 are
connected through the shorting blades (see Img.).
Never connect both jumpers at the same time!
For the delta circuit, the shorting blades are connecting
U1 with W2, V1 with U2 and W1 with V2 (see Img.).
Never connect both jumpers at the same time!
12.2. Star circuit / Delta circuit
e star circuit must be used if the motor is to be ope-
rated directly on the 3-phase supply network with a
line voltage of 400V.
e star circuit is also to be used when controlling via a
frequency inverter with 400V output voltage (usually a
frequency converter with 3-phase 400V mains connec-
tion).
e delta circuit must be used if the motor is to be ope-
rated directly on the 3-phase supply network with a
line voltage of 230V.
e delta circuit is also to be used when controlling
via a frequency inverter with 230V output voltage (in
general frequency converter with 1-phase 230V mains
connection).
During operation, electric motors heat up. Under certain circumstances (excessively high ambient or fluid temperatu-
res, heavy contamination, etc.), the motor temperature may exceed the safety limit of the electrically isolated parts.
In order to avoid engine damage, various types of temperature monitoring are possible, of which at least one must be
installed on site:
■Monitoring of the thermal motor current via a FU
■Motor protection switch

12.5. Fault current protection switch
Even when the device is switched off, voltage is applied to terminals and connections. Do not touch the
device for 5 minutes after all-pole disconnection from the mains.
If the fans are placed on the EU market or operated within the EU, they must have a speed control. is is only possible
by means of frequency converters. Using other speed controls, such as voltage control, will directly damage the motor.
We offer tested and approved frequency converters as accessories. ese are pre-programmed and delivered exactly
matched to the respective engine power and speed.

13. COMMISSIONING
Commissioning by trained technical personnel may only be performed after any risk has been ruled out. e
following checks should be performed in accordance with the installation and operating manual and the re-
gulations in force:
■Correctly sealed installation of the unit and duct system.
■Check the duct system, unit and medium lines, if present, remove any foreign bodies if necessary.
■e intake opening and inflow into the unit must be clear.
■Check all mechanical and electrical protection measures (e.g. earthing).
■Voltage, frequency and type of current must correspond with the rating plate.
Note:
Standard frequency inverters have a modified sine-wave at the output. is may cause noises, depending on the com-
bination motor - frequency converter. Depending on the fan design and the radiating surface, these are perceptible.
At very high noise requirements, this can be disturbing. For industrial applications, the noises are generally acceptable.
Remedial measures may be a change in the clock frequency or the use of a sine-wave filter or a frequency converter
with integrated sine-wave filter.

15
EN
Servicing, troubleshooting and cleaning may only be performed by specialised personnel in accordance
with this installation and operating manual and the regulations in force.
■Make sure that no connections or components are loosened unless the device is disconnected from the

15.2. Decommissioning and disposal
When disassembling, parts under voltage are exposed, which can lead to electric shock when touched.
Before dismantling, disconnect the fan from all poles of the mains and secure against being switched on
again!
15.3. Spare parts (motor + impeller)
Only original spare parts may be used.
e repair may only be carried out by personnel trained and authorized.
Parts and components of the device that have reached their lifetime, e.g. due to wear, corrosion, mechanical stress,
fatigue and/or all other, not directly recognizable effects, must be disposed of professionally and properly after disas-
sembly in accordance with national and international laws and regulations. e same applies to excipients in use such
as oils and fats or other substances. e conscious or unconscious reuse of used components such as e.g. impellers,
rolling bearings, motors. etc. can lead to a risk to persons, the environment as well as machinery and equipment. e
applicable local operating regulations must be observed and applied.
