2 Safety instructions
This chapter contains instructions to prevent personal injury and property damage.
These instructions do not lay claim to completeness. In case of questions and problems,
please consult our company technicians.
Information
Mounting, electrical connection, and start-up operation may only be carried out by an
electrical specialist in accordance with electrotechnical regulations (e.g. EN 50110 or
EN 60204)!
Danger due to electric current
•It is generally forbidden to carry out work on electrical live parts. Protection class of the
device when open is IP00! It is possible to touch hazardous voltages directly.
•The safe isolation from the supply must be checked using a two-pole voltage
detector.
•The rotor is not protected against indirect contact neither by supplementary or
reinforced insulation nor by connection to safety-earth in accordance with EN 60204-
1, therefore the system constructor must provide protection by enclosure in
accordance with EN 61140 before the motor is connected to a power source. This
protection can be achieved for example by a guard grille (
Product overview:
Application operational area and Mounting: General notes).
•When the motor runs independently due to air flowing through or if it continues to run
down after being turned off, dangerous voltages of over 50 V can arise on the motor
internal connections through operation of the generator.
•Even after disconnecting the mains voltage, life-threatening charges can appear
between the protective ground “PE” and the mains connection.
•The protective earth is conducting high discharge currents (dependent on the
switching frequency, current-source voltage and motor capacity). Earthing in
compliance with EN specifications shall therefore be observed even for testing and
trial conditions (EN 50 178, Art. 5.2.11). Without earthing, dangerous voltages can be
present on the motor housing.
Waiting period at least 3 minutes!
•Through use of capacitors, danger of death exists even after switching off the device
through directly touching the energized parts or due to parts that have become
energized due to faults.
•The controller housing may only be removed or opened when the power line has been
switched off and a period of three minutes has elapsed since switching it off.
Attention!
•During commissioning, unexpected and hazardous conditions can arise in the entire
installation due to defective adjustments, defective components or incorrect electrical
connections. Remove all persons and objects from the hazardous area.
•Before first-time start-up, check the following:
1. Installation and electrical connection have been properly completed?
2. Has any leftover installation material and other foreign material been removed
from the fan area?
Quick Start Guide ECblue Safety instructions
L-BAL-F055-GB 1634 Index 004 Part.-No. 00700561-GB
4/23

3. That safety devices -if necessary- are mounted (EN ISO 13857)?
4. The impeller is out of reach?
5. Are the condensation water drains holes open or respectively closed according
to the suitable installation position?
6. Connection data complies with the specifications on the rating plate?
•Commissioning may only take place if all safety instructions have been checked and
danger can be excluded.
–Check for quiet, low vibration operation. Strong vibrations due to erratic operation
(unbalanced), e.g. caused by transportation damage or improper use, can lead to
failure.
–A-rated sound power levels of over 80 dB(A) are possible, see product catalogue.
–Check for mechanical vibrations after installation into the system. If the tolerances
according to ISO 10816-1 are exceeded, it is possible to exclude certain speed
ranges (
Motor Setup or add-on module).
–Check the direction of rotation (
rotation direction arrow on the fan blade,
impeller base plate or on the fan housing).
•Maintenance work may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
"Before working on the fan, this must be disconnected from the power supply
and secured against switching back on!
"No maintenance work at running fan!
"Wear safety shoes and gloves for handling!
"Please observe the safety regulations and the worker´s protection rules by all
maintenance and service work (EN 50 110, IEC 364).
Attention, automatic restart!
•The fan / motor may switch on and off automatically for functional reasons.
•After power failure or mains disconnection an automatic restart of the fan takes place
after voltage return!
•Wait for the fan to come to a complete standstill before approaching it!
•The exterior rotor turns during operation of the external rotor motor!
Danger of being sucked in!
Do not wear loose or hanging clothing, jewellery, etc., tie together long hair and cover it.
Attention, hot surface!
Temperatures of above 85 °C can occur on the motor surfaces, especially on the
controller housing!

4 Mounting
4.1 General notes
Attention!
•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!
•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 ISO 12100 / 13857).
•Wear safety shoes and gloves for handling!
•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 shape 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.
•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.

8/23

•Prior to installing the fan, it is to be checked whether the safety zone as per EN ISO
13857 and in household appliances as per EN 60335 are met. If the installation height
(danger zone) above the reference level is greater than or equal to 2700 mm and is
not reduced by auxiliary means such as chairs, ladders, work platforms or bases on
vehicles, a guard grille against accidental contact is not necessary at the fan.
•If the fan is located in danger zone, then the manufacturer or operator shall ensure
that hazards shall be prevented by appropriare protective constuctions which meet
the requirements to EN ISO 13857.
•Protective measures must be taken against falling parts when mounting with a
hanging rotor.
•The custom designs must suit the prevailing conditions.
•Tighten the fastenings with the specified torques.
•Do not allow drilling chips, screws and other foreign bodies to reach the device
interior!
•Any use below -10 °C is dependent on not being subjected to unusual, sudden or
mechanical loads or stresses on the material (min. ambient temperature
Technical
data).
•Corrosion is possible at the cutting edges on sendzimir galvanised parts.
•Before the first switch-on, remove any items that may be present (borings, screws and
other foreign objects) from the intake area - risk of injury from any objects that may fly
out!
4.2 Connecting lead, position terminal compartment
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 fan.
In vertical mounting (installation position “H” motor shaft horizontal), install the fan for
protection ahainst penetrating moisture with the terminal compartment vertically
downwards (up to max. 30° lateral inclination).
Optimum heat dissipation of the power loss resulting in the device is achieved in this
position (
Diagnostic/ Faults / Temperature Management).
