2.6 Work on the device
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 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 motor/fan must be
installed so that it is not touchable.
•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.
•The safe isolation from the supply must be checked using a two-pole voltage detector.
•Even after disconnecting the mains voltage, life-threatening charges can appear between the
protective ground “PE” and the voltage supply.
•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.
•Maintenance work may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
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, 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!

3 Product overview
3.1 Application operational area
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.
Attention!
•When using in waste air purification systems, ensure that the fan does not come into contact with
any chemicals used, as these usually have a highly corrosive effect. In such cases, the product
service life can be significantly reduced. ZIEHL-ABEGG rejects any warranty claims or other claims
based on this.
•If the motor/fan is used in applications where a ignitable atmosphere can form in the event of a fault,
e.g. due to leakage, the user must assess the risks of ignition and take appropriate precautions to
prevent ignition.

3.4 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.
3.5 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.

4.4 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.
4.5 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 operated with an existing power supply (no setting signal, switch off by enable), the
motor heating switches back on automatically at a controller inside temperature of -19 °C and back off
when heated up to -15 °C.
Heating takes place via the motor winding through induction of a current that causes rotation of the
rotor (approx. 5 revolutions per hour). This enables seizing of the rotor to be prevented.
Information
•Special settings are possible which can lead to deviations from the above functional description.
•Do not switch off the line voltage to ensure that the motor heating prevents the rotor from freezing.
•The motor has no sensors to be able to detect the danger of freezing in good time. In order to
completely prevent fans from freezing, on-site measures are required.

4.6 Connection according UL and CSA in different applications
Only for motors/fans with the corresponding quality
mark (see rating plate)
4.6.1 Connecting the conduit for NEC and CEC approval
Conduits
Attention!
The MK116 and MK152 series of integrated variable speed drives for the ECblue fan type for the North
American economic region (identifiable from the rating plate) are approved as frequency inverters
(Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive System) in compliance with UL61800-5-1 and CAN/CSA
C22.2 No. 274.
Furthermore, the motors have environmental type rating class 3 according UL50(E) for outdoor use.
Compliance with the following specifications is mandatory for this:
•Metric to inches threaded adapters, used to connect the conduits, can be ordered from
ZIEHL-ABEGG in a package of:
–for MK116: part number 00297623
–for MK152: part number 00297624
•These are to be used to connect the motor as per the on-site conditions according to the
specifications of the NEC
®
(National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70) and the relevant parts of
UL508/UL60497.
•The electrician / plant contractor is responsible for correct connection of the adapter and the
conduits so that no damage can occur due to infiltrating moisture or water. When sealing the
conduit connections make sure the supplied O-rings are used. When screwing the conduits into the
thread adapters, use UL approved sealing tape (e.g., Teflon tape).
•The opposite end of the installation tube to the motor must be sealed so that moisture and dust
cannot be sucked in by the slight vacuum pressure existing in the terminal compartment.
•The locking screws used within the MK116 and MK152 series are only for shipment. For installation
the locking screws must be removed.
•It must be used a connection technology suitable for the environmental type rating of the drive!
Alternative: flexible connection
If the connection of the conduits is not possible with the thread adapter due
to a lack of installation space, ZIEHL-ABEGG recommends its customers
use an UL514B approved flexible connection hose system.
As an example it can also be used on equipment and machines. However,
applicable here is that the equipment / machine must be configured /
approved in accordance with UL508/UL60497.
Possible suppliers: - Anamet, - Flexa GmbH, - Thomas & Betts
Attention! ZIEHL-ABEGG3cannot provide any warranty on the environ-
mental type rating, class 3 for this.
Independent of the type and manner of the conduit / tube connection, correct connection of the supply
line(s), the safety of people and objects must be provided at all times.

4.6.2 Connection in NFPA 79 Applications
In applications where the NFPA 79 (Electrical Standard for industrial machinery) applies the enclosed
cable glands can be used.
Attention!
•Independent of the type and manner of the conduit / tube connection, correct connection of the
supply line(s), the safety of people and objects must be provided at all times.
•The locking screws used within the MK116 and MK152 series are only for shipment. For installation
the locking screws must be removed.
•It must be used a connection technology suitable for the environmental type rating of the drive!
4.7 Fan designs A and D (without nozzles)

When using screws with different friction values or strength classes, different tightening torques may
be necessary.
Information
•Pay attention to a sufficient screw-in length in the motor flange.
•Excess screw length not permissible and it may result in the rotor being brushed against or blocked.
•Every screwing case is different. The tightening torque adapted to it must be determined by the
appropriate screw tests.
•Avoid structural damage or stress with installation. Make sure the surface is flat and even.
•In the case of a vertical motor axis, the respective lower drain hole must be open.
•Secure fan connection cable with cable fasteners or cable clips.
A minimum head gap “A” of 2.5 mm in all installation
positions but especially in installation position H (horizon-
tal motor shaft) is necessary. Distortion due to uneven
surface may lead to fan failure due to brushing against the
fan wheel.
