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?
