♦In open transport, please make sure that no water can
penetrate into the motor or other sensitive parts.
♦We recommend transporting the fan to the
installation site in the original packaging.
Caution: If transported without care during loading and
unloading, the fan may be damaged.
♦Load and unload the fan carefully.
♦Use hoisting equipment that is suitable for the weight

5.5 Intended use
All axial fans
• The temperature of the air transported through the fan must not exceed the temperature range stated on the
name plate.
• For the temperature resistance of the smoke extraction fans (K), (B), (F), which can also be used to extract CO,
please refer to the name plate (e.g. 300°C/120 min).
Jet fans
• AJ8 and AJR jet fans are intended for installation in
underground and above-ground parking structures, to
facilitate ventilation and smoke extraction.
• For optimum operation, the jet fan must be
suspended horizontally from the ceiling in such a
position that intake and outlet are unobstructed.
Axial fans
• The axial fans of the series AXC/AXR/AXCBF in the
versions G (K), (B), (F) are intended for installation in
ventilation systems.
• The axial fans of the series AXC/AXR/AXCBF are
ready-to-use products and are used as components
for ventilation devices, machines and systems. These
fans can be used to extract, draw in or convey air.
• The fans can be installed both in duct systems and
also with free suction via an inlet cone and a suction-
side contact protection grille. Free discharge via a
contact protection grille is also possible.
Incorrect use
Incorrect use refers mainly to using the fan in another way to that described. The following examples are incorrect and
hazardous:
• The fan is not suitable for intake of aggressive media or media with a dust content so high that dust deposits on the
impeller or fan housing can affect the operation of the fan.
• The fan must not be installed in hazardous areas (areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere).
• The motors cannot be voltage controlled.

Safety information
Danger: Risk that the fan does not work in case of fire.
♦Use installation material with fire resistance classes that meet temperature requirements.
Warning: Danger from falling fan or fan parts.
♦Check the surface before installation for load bearing capacity.
♦Consider all static and dynamic loads when selecting hoisting equipment and fastening components.
General safety information
♦Installation may only be carried out by adequately qualified persons, details see Table 1 Qualifications, page 2.
♦Move the impeller of the fan by hand before you install it in order to check whether that moves freely.
♦Prevent the possibility of foreign bodies being drawn in.
♦To reduce transmission of vibration to the duct system, we recommend flexible connections from our accessory
range, see 5.2.4 Accessories, page 8.
♦Bear in mind that parts of the impeller may protrude out of the fan housing.
♦If the product is installed with free suction or free discharge, install a protection grille to prevent injury from the fan
impeller. Make sure that the safety distance agrees with the standards DIN EN ISO 13857 and DIN 24167–1.
♦Tightening torques of screw-type connections according to DIN 13.
| 014

16 | Installation
Preconditions
♦Ensure that the fan and all its components are
undamaged.
♦Ensure that there is enough space to install the fan.
♦Protect against dust and moisture when installing.
♦Do not install the fan if the gap in the table (5.1.3 Air
gap between housing and impeller, page 5) is not
complied with.
♦Ensure that the information on the name plates (fan
and motor) matches up with the operating conditions.
♦A warning sign must be attached close to the air
outlet, stating that the air outlet must not be covered.
♦Fit the fans in such a way that there is sufficient
access for troubleshooting, maintenance and repair.
Tests after long storage time (more than 12 months)
Note:
We recommend an inspection by the after-sales service of Systemair before commissioning.
Test the motor windings:
♦Measure the insulation resistance of each motor winding against grounding at 500 V DC. The insulation resistance
must be > 10 mΩ.
Measures for an insulation resistance < 10 mΩ:
1. If the motor has drain plugs, remove them to allow any moisture to drain and replace them when the motor windings
are suitably dry.
2. Dry the motor in a warm dry airflow (typically 40 degrees Celsius).
3. Measure the insulation resistance of each motor winding against grouding at 500 V DC.
4. Repeat the aforementioned steps until the measurement outcome > 10 mΩ.
Mounting feet
Depending on the kind of fan and the construction size, mounting feet are either included in the delivery or available as
accessories. If you are not sure, check the online catalogue or contact Systemair.
Avoid resonance frequencies
Important
Risk of damage to the fan due to resonance frequencies
♦The minimum fan speed should be double the resonance frequency of the anti-vibration system
(vibration dampers).
♦To avoid resonance frequencies, see 8.3 Frequency converter (if used), page 24.
