2. GENERAL IDENTIFICATION OF DEVICE TYPE and MODEL
VENCO VAX Type Axial fans are used in general ventilation projects and VAX-S Type Axial fans are
used in smoke exhaust fan and carpark ventilation. The Axial fans may not be used in areas in which an
explosion-capable atmosphere can be found. The motor is found combined with the impeller in canals where
the air circulation actualized and the air flowing is actualized by the way of impeller. The fan cannot be
installed outside without water precaution.

5. INSTALLATION
The fan must be installed according to the air direction label on the fan. Before the start of assembly,
examine manually whether the fan wheel runs freely. Before installation, check the minimum air gap between
the blade tip and the housing according to the following table. During assembly, secure the assembly area.
Take precautions for any access by unauthorized persons. The fan should be installed in a way that makes
service and maintenance easy. A wiring diagram is applied on the inside of the junction box or separately
enclosed. Electrical installations must be made by trained and authorized electrician.
Drawing 5.1
Drawing 5.1 illustrates the MFT, MSC, NRD/XS and MFL accessories that could be used with the fan.
The connection of MFT Mounting Bracket, MSC Wire Guard and NRD/XS Vibration Absorber Mounting to
the fan must be done as shown in the following drawing by screw, rondela and nut.

Drawing 5.3 demonstrates horizontal installation of the NRDO accessory to the axial fan. When there is no air
flow; position of the wing must be as shown in the Drawing 5.3 in order to keep the wings closed.
Drawing 5.4 demonstrates vertical installation of the NRDO accessory to the axial fan. When the connection is
made properly and there is no air flow, the wings close down.

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SHALL BE DONE ACCORDING TO EN 60204-1
BY TRAINNED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
SWITCH THE ENERGY SUPPLY OFF BEFORE YOU BRING ABOUT THE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE FAN. MAKE SURE THAT THE ENERGY
SUPPLY CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON AGAIN PREMATURELY. THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION MAY ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY TRAINED PERSONNEL.
THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS TO BE DONE ACCORDING TO VALID
DIRECTIVES AND ONLY BY A QUALIFIED FITTER WITH MATCHING SAFETY
DEVICES FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MOTOR.
ALL COMPONENTS SHOULD BE EARTHED. DEVICE EARTH CONNECTION MUST
BE DONE ON TOP OF THE CONNECTOR IN JUNCTION BOX and FROM
GROUNDING SCREW WITHIN BODY.

6. OPERATION
Before starting, check the followings; Be sure that foreign objects are removed from fan area and
connected duct system, check connection to the electrical installation, minimum air gap between the tip of the
blade and the housing and no noise appears when starting the fan. If the air gap is correct, switch the device
on and off briefly, in order to check the direction of rotation of the fan. The rotation direction of the fan must
match up with the direction of the arrow on the housing of the fan. If the direction of rotation is wrong,
interchange two phases in order to set the correct direction of rotation.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
The fans are delivered on wooden pallets wrapped in plastic stretch. Transport the fan to the place of
assembly in its original packaging. During transport, connection cables, terminal box and wire connections
mustn’t be damaged. Load and unload the fan carefully, in order to avoid possible damage. Use suitable
lifting equipment. The fan should be stored in a safe, clean, dry, vibration free, location. A regular monthly
rapid spin of the impeller is recommended to prevent grease hardening and possible brinelling of the
bearings; the impeller should not be in the same angular position after rotation.
When dismantling the crate to gain access to the fan assembly care should be taken to avoid injury from
sharp edges, nails, staples, splinters, etc.
8. MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the screw connections, coil resistance, function of the safety components and control
elements. Only clean the fan manually, with a vacuum cleaner or with compressed air. Before service,
maintenance or repairing, disconnect the electrical connections and the impeller is stopped. The fan must be
cleaned when needed, at least once per year to maintain the capacity. The fan bearings are maintenance-
free and should be renewed only when necessary. Cleaning should be done without dislodging or damaging
the impeller. Make sure that there is no unexpected noise from the fan.
In addition to routine maintenance motor bearings will in the longer term require attention. If the motor
bearings are greased through extended lubricators, a quality of grease should be periodically applied in
accordance with the information on the fan or motor nameplate and/or instructions provided.
9. FAULT DETECTION
It is necessary to turn off the fan before checking the fan and the system. During maintenance, device
electrical connections should be cut entirely. All switches and circuit breakers should be locked by brought to
the OFF position. Also “DO NOT START” sign should be placed on the control panel that will consistently
stand.
Check that the electrical connections to the unit are secure. Check that the voltage applied at the fan
terminals is as specified on the motor nameplate, and is balanced. Measure the current on each phase (one
phase in the case of single-phase motors) of the motor in turn and check that the current consumption is
within the full load current specified on the motor nameplate.
Rotate the motor shaft by hand. Investigate any sound of grinding noises, internal chaffing, rubbing or
stiffness. Any observed defect may indicate that the bearings require lubrication or replacement. Ensure that
ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (INCLUDING HARD
HATS, EYE PROTECTORS AND EAR DEFENDERS) WHEN WORKİNG IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FAN ASSEMBLY

all fixings are secure. Make sure that the fan blade is not blocked by an object, if fan is still not working,
contact your supplier.
