3 Product overview
3.1 Area of application / Notes on use
The fans / motors are not ready-for-use products, but conceived as components for ventilation
systems (type designation see rating plate).
The fans may not be operated until they are installed in line with their intended use. The supplied and
certified guard grille of ZIEHL-ABEGG SE fans is designed in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13857
Table 4 (from the age of 14 up). In the event of deviations, further structural protective measures must
be taken for safe operation.
•Any use below -10 °C is dependent on not being subjected to unusual, sudden or mechanical loads
or stresses on the material (see minimal permissible ambient temperature).
•Corrosion is possible at the cutting edges on sendzimir galvanised parts.
3.2 Functional description
ECblue stands for EC fans and motors with maximum efficiency. Highly efficient, electronically
commutated motors with permanent magnets are used the speed of which is controlled by the
integrated controller.
The devices are constructed in accordance with the general requirement in EN 61800-2 for adjustable
speed electrical power systems and is intended for one-quadrant drives.
3.3 Temperature management
The service life of devices with power electronics is decisively dependent on the ambient temper-
atures. The longer electronic components are exposed to high ambient temperatures, the faster the
deterioration and the more probable the failures.
The power electronics protects itself against excessive temperatures by active temperature manage-
ment (power reduction).
However, this cannot provide complete protection in all circumstances. Observe the rated data -
particularly the maximum permitted ambient temperature - on the rating plate.
3.4 Note on the ErP directive
ZIEHL-ABEGG SE wishes to point out that, based on the directive (EU) no. 327/2011 of the Commis-
sion of 30th of March 2011 for enforcing directive 2009/125/EC (hereinafter referred to as ErP
directive), the operational area of certain fans within the EU is bound by certain prerequisites.
The fan may only be used within the EU when it meets the requirements of the ErP directive.
If the said fan does not have a CE mark (cf. especially the rating plate), use of this product within the
EU is not admissible.
All ErP-relevant information comprises measurements which are determined using a standardised
measurement set-up. More details can be obtained from the manufacturer.
Further information about the ErP directive (Energy related Products-Directive) can be found on
www.ziehl-abegg.de search key: "ErP".

4 Mounting
4.1 General notes
Attention!
•Mounting is only to be undertaken by trained service personnel. The system manufacturer or the
machine builder and/or the user is responsible that the inherent installation and security information
are harmonized with the valid standard and guidelines (EN ISO12100 / 13857).
•Check the fan for damage, e.g. cracks, dents or damage to the electric cables, before assembly.
Start-up is not allowed in the case of transport damage!
•Wear safety clothing / shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves when handling.
•At a weight greater than 25 kg for men / 10 kg for women, the fan should be lifted out by two persons
(according to REFA). The values may differ from country to country.
•Lift the fan out of the packaging with a lifting gear (lifting beam). Attachment points are solely the
holes on the housing flange, motor bed, support plate, motor suspensions, fastening brackets and
any crane eyes of the fan (depending on the design of the fan).
•The chain/rope may not touch the impeller and the possibly mounted frequency inverter when lifting
with the lifting beam, otherwise damage is possible.
•The custom designs must suit the prevailing conditions.
•Take into account easy access for cleaning and maintaining the fan.
•Before installing the fan, make sure the safety distances are maintained compliant with EN ISO
13857 or in household equipment according to EN 60335.
–If the mounting height (danger area) above the reference plane is greater than or equal to
2700 mm and is not reduced by auxiliary means such as chairs, ladders, working platforms or
floor space on vehicles, a guard grille is not necessary on the fan.
–If people are located in the fan danger area, then the manufacturer or operator of the complete
system shall ensure that hazards are prevented by appropriate protective constructions which
meet the requirements to EN ISO 13857.
•Protective measures must be taken against falling parts when mounting with a hanging rotor.
•Tighten the fastenings with the specified torques.
•Drilling chips, screws and other foreign bodies must not be located inside the device! Before the first
switch-on, remove any items that may be present (drilling chips, screws and other foreign objects)
from the intake area - risk of injury from any objects that may fly out!
4.2 Connection lead & terminal box
Information
In demanding environments (wet areas, open air installation) all connections must incorporate water
drainage curves. To ensure that water cannot penetrate through to the controller housing from the
connections install a terminal box lower than the motor.
4.3 Assembly in a humid atmosphere
Information
If the device is not in use for longer periods in a humid atmosphere, it is recommended to operate the
motor/fan for at least two hours every month at 80 - 100 % of maximum speed to remove any moisture
that has penetrated inside.
4.4 Motorheating
A continuous power supply is required for safe operation down to the minimum permitted ambient
temperature (see technical data).
If the motor is not switched on with an existing power supply (no setting signal, switch off by enable),
the motorheating switches back off automatically at a controller inside temperature of -19 °C and
heating up to -15 °C.
Heating takes place via the motor winding whereby a current is induced which cannot cause rotation.

4.5.3 Erecting the equipment: Design ER.. / GR.. / WR..
•To avoid the transference of disruptive vibrations, we recommend de-coupling the entire plug fan to
avoid sounds transmitted through solids. (Spring and/or attenuation units are not a constituent part
of the standard scope of delivery). Look at our catalogue for positioning the decoupling elements or
request a dimensions sheet stating the type designation and Part.-No.
•Erect in the open air only if this is expressly mentioned and confirmed in the ordering information.
There is a risk of damage to the bearings if the fan remains stopped in a moist environment. Avoid
corrosion by suitable protective measures. Roofing is required.
•In the case of a vertical motor axis, the respective lower condensation drain hole (if available) must
be open.
•The GR design in position “H” (horizontal shaft) should be installed in the preferred direction. The
cable guides should point downwards (angled sideways by approx. 30°). This is indicated by the
“OBEN/TOP” warning sign on the device.
•Design ER.. / WR.. is only permissible with horizontal motor shaft.
Attention!
•All contact points must be fixed securely. If the fixing is inadequate there is a risk of the fan
overturning.
•Making your own alterations/conversions on the fan module is unacceptable - safety risk.

5.4 EMC-compatible installation of control lines
Pay attention to sufficient distance from powerlines and motor wires to prevent interferences. The
control cable may not be longer than 30 m. Screened control cables must be used when the cable
length is longer than 20 m. When using a shielded cable connect the shielding to one side only, i.e.
only to the signal source with the protective earth (keep cable short and with as little inductance as
possible!).
5.5 Voltage supply
5.5.1 Line voltage
Danger due to electric current
•It must be strictly observed that the line voltage complies with specified on the rating plate and lies
within the allowable tolerance specifications (see technical data).
•Between the voltage supply of the device and the protective earth “PE” is in no case a higher voltage
permissible than the indicated line voltage of the device!
•Mains connection to: PE, L1 and N.
•Attention!
–To activate the on current limitation, you must wait at least 90 seconds after switching off the line
voltage before switching back on!
5.5.2 Required quality attributes for the mains voltage
Danger due to electric current
The mains voltage must comply with the EN 50160 quality characteristics and the defined standard
voltages in IEC 60038!

5.5.3 Line protection fuse
The connection must be fused depending on the used cable, the type of routing, the operating
conditions and according to the standards applicable on site. The specification for the maximum
admissible line fuse of the device must be observed (see technical data).
Possible components for the line protection (recommendation):
•Safety fuses of operating class “gG” (whole range fuse cartridges for general applications according
to EN 60269-1).
•Line protection switch with characteristic “C” (according to EN 60898-1).
5.5.4 Operating in IT-System
Danger due to electric current
•In the IT-System the neutral point of voltage supply is not grounded; in the case of a short-circuit
between a phase (e.g. “L1”) and protective earth “PE” becomes the protective earth potential
phase.
•Between the connection of the voltage supply of the device and the protective earth “PE” is in no
case a higher voltage permissible than the indicated line voltage of the device!
1 ~ types can be used in IT-System in standard version. These may only be used in 3 ~ IT-Systems if
no higher voltage to the “PE” can occur than the specified mains voltage of the device even in case of
a fault to earth of a mains phase which is not used by the device (of none of the two power supplies).
In order to ensure a trouble free operation in IT-System the “GND” potential of the control ports have
to be connected with the protective earth potential.
As a consequence of these connection must be considered for the control ports (exception floating
relay contacts):
1. Connection only with wires, suitable for mains voltage and surrounding area.
2. Connection with suitable isolated amplifiers only.
5.6 Residual-current-operated protective device
Danger due to electric current
To ensure as high a degree of reliability as possible we recommend a release current of 300 mA,
where a residual current circuit breaker (type A) is used.
Residual current circuit breaker (type A)
Exception: All-current-sensitive fault current circuit breaker on the 3 ~ 230 V line
When connecting the device between two outer conductors, “all-current-sensitive” fault current circuit
breakers must be used (see EN 50 178, Art. 5.2).
5.7 Motor protection
Integrated overload protection, preceding motor protection device unnecessary (max. line fuse see
Technical data).
5.8 Voltage supply “10 V DC”
Voltage supply (PELV current source pursuant to DIN EN 60204-1) for external components, e.g. for
ECblue connection box.
Connection: “10 V” - “GND” (max. load see Technical data und connection diagram).
During an overload or short-circuit (10 V - GND), the control voltage (and thus the device) is
disconnected . Automatic start after elimination of the cause of error.
It is not permissible to connect outputs of several devices to each other!

Information
•You must ensure correct connection; i. e. “A (D+)” must also be connected on the following devices
to “A (D+)”. The same applies to “B (D+)”.
•In addition, a "GND" connection must be established, as dissimilar potential (over 10 V!) will lead to
the destruction of the RS-485 interface (e.g. lightning).
•Pay attention to sufficient distance from powerlines and motor wires (min. 20 cm)
•Except the data link “A (D+)”, “B (D-)” the “ID1 - ID2” and the “GND” connection may no further cable
cores of the data line be used.
•When using the connection box the cable shield of the CAT5 cable is internally connected to “PE” by
an RC element.
•Another 63 users are connected by a repeater in manual addressing (no connection of connections
“ID1”, “ID2”).
•If a repeater is necessary and automatic addressing should be carried out, only the repeater of the
Z-G-1NE type can be used, only it can relay the addressing signal.
•The connections for the automatic addressing “ID1” and “ID2” are not directly connected with each
other. These may not be bridged; any order of connection is possible.
Example for MODBUS connection
The data line must be conducted from one device to the next. No other type of wiring is allowed!
Always use only two wires of one lead (twisted pair) for the connection.
