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!
•The 5 electrical safety rules must be observed!
•Only remove the lid from the terminal compartment (available depending on the
model) with the line voltage switched off!
•Opening of the base lid is prohibited. Loosening the safety screws will void the
guarantee!
–Protection class of the device when complete open is IP00! It is possible to touch
hazardous voltages directly.
–Through use of capacitors, danger of death exists even after switching off the
device!
•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.
•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 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.
•Maintenance work may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
Attention, automatic restart!
•The motor may switch on and off automatically for functional reasons.
•Automatically restart after a power failure or mains disconnection!
•Wait for the motor 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.

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.
3.2 Functional description
ECblue stands for EC fans and motors with maximum efficiency. Highly efficient, elec-
tronically 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.
In these assembly instructions ECblue fans and motors of the ECblue series are
described in different in different versions.
The used motor sizes (D 116) is recognisable from the type designation.
Motors Type Example for fans with motor size “D”
MK116 -_ I _ . _ _ . _ _ Axial fans type:
•F _ _ _ _-_ I _. D _._ _ _ _
Centrifugal fans type:
•RH _ _ _-_ I _. D _._ _
•GR _ _ _-_ I _. D _._ _
•ER _ _ _-_ I _. D _._ _
3.3 Criteria for long service life
The service life of devices with power electronics is decisively dependent on the ambient
temperatures. The longer electronic components are exposed to high ambient temper-
atures, the faster the deterioration and the more probable the failures.
The device is designed with a service life of at least 40,000 h when S1 operated at full
power in the maximum permissible ambient-temperature environment.
In order to achieve this, the power electronics protects itself against excessive temper-
atures by active temperature management.
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 Commission 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.
Assembly instructions ECblue MODBUS Product overview
L-BAL-F041-GB 1820 Index 003 Part.-No. 00296941-GB
9/36

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".
3.5 Transport, storage

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 device should be lifted
out by two persons (according to REFA). The values may differ from country to
country.
•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.

•Avoid structural damage or stress with installation. Flange and mounting bracket must
be fixed flat on a level surface.
•The fan must be securely mounted, with vibration dampers if necessary.
4.4 Mounting the motor
Motors design MK
Fastening to fixed motor flange
(assembly of axial fans / fans of design A, D ..) and
(assembly of radial fans of design RH).
•If the motor is used to drive fan impellers or other components, please note the
maximum permissible speeds of the impeller or the component to be driven.
•The max. permissible mass of the impeller ort he component to be driven must be
inquired from and confirmed in writing by ZIEHL-ABEGG.
Design K (with rotor flange) or D (with offset rotor flange) as a drive for fans:
•During assembly of the fan impellers or other components, no inadmissible force may
be applied to the motor bearing.
•Centre the fan impeller accurately and mount without tension on the rotor flange, the
fan wheel must lie flat.
•Use suitable screws for fastening the fan impeller on the rotor flange and fit as
suitable screw lock.
•Every screwing case must be tested for suitability.
•The permissible area pressing of the rotor flange may never be exceeded (depending
on the contact surface).
•Too great a screw overhang is not permitted and can lead to scraping or blocking of
the rotor on the fixed motor flange.
•Motors are not balanced as standard, a complete balancing with mounted fan impeller
is necessary. The balancing must be done on the fan impeller. The pertinent regu-
lations must be observed.

4.5 Assembly in a humid atmosphere
Information
If a fan / motor is stationary for long periods in a humid atmosphere, it should be switched
ON for minimum of two hours every month to remove any moisture that may have
condensed within the motor.
4.6 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.
5 Electrical installation
5.1 Safety precautions
Danger due to electric current
•Work on electric components may only be carried out by trained electricians or by
persons instructed in electricity under the supervision of an electrician in accordance
with electrical engineering regulations.
•The 5 electrical safety rules must be observed!
•It is forbidden to carry out work on electrically live parts! Even after disconnection, the
dc-link is still live. Always wait at least 3 minutes.
•Cover neighbouring electrical equipment during installation work.
•Other measures may be necessary to achieve safe electrical isolation.
•Connect fan only to electrical circuits that can be disconnected with an all-pole
isolating switch.
•Operating the device with the housing cover removed is prohibited because
energized, exposed parts are present inside the device. Disregarding this regulation
can lead to severe personal injury.
•The device owner is responsible for the EMC of the entire plant according to the
locally applicable standards.
•Electrical equipment must be checked regularly: Loose connections are to be re-
tightened and damaged lines or cables must be replaced immediately.

5.3 EMC-compatible installation of control lines
Pay attention to sufficient distance from powerlines and motor wires to prevent interfer-
ences. 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!).
5.4 Mains connection
5.4.1 Line voltage
Mains connection: PE, L1, and N. Here, it must be strictly observed that the mains
voltage lies within the allowable tolerance specifications (see technical data).
Alternatively a supply of DC voltage is possible (see Technical data).
The polarities on “L1” and “N” are irrelevant.
Danger due to electric current
•Between the mains connection of the device and the protective earth “PE” is in no
case a higher voltage permissible than the indicated line voltage of the device!
•To activate the on current limitation, you must wait at least 90 seconds after switching
off the line voltage before switching back on!
5.4.2 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 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).
5.6 Motor protection
Integrated overload protection, preceding motor protection device unnecessary (max.
line fuse see Technical data).

5.7 Voltage supply “10 V DC”
Voltage supply (PELV current source pursuant to DIN EN 60204-1) for external compo-
nents, e.g. for ECblue connection box.
Connection: “10 V” - “GND” (max. load
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!
5.8 Connection terminal type A-G-247NW for service
If necessary an external terminal can be connected. This can be e.g. necessary to adapt
the pre-setting during start-up. For information about the current operating condition a
terminal can be permanent attached.
The voltage supply of the terminal is made by the accumulators inserted there or the
plug power supply unit.
Connection by terminals with telephone wire

5.9 Communication
5.9.1 RS-485 interface for MODBUS
The device comes equipped with a RS-485 interface for networking via MODBUS.
Conntection at: “A (D+)”, “B (D-)” and “GND”.
Addressing is performed by an external terminal or a PC with the appropriate software.
Automatic addressing can be started when the connections “ID1” and “ID2” for “Address-
ing” are connected with each other additionally next to the bus connection. I. e. it is no
longer necessary to address every user manually in the network (
MODBUS network-
ing and automatic addressing).
For automatic addressing with hand held terminal type A-G-247 and digital control and
display unit NETcon type A-G-102ANE max. 63 members, with control module UNIcon
MODBUS Master max. 32 members.

Addressing Addressing
Example for devices with MODBUS connection and automatic addressing
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 internally. 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.
Recommended wire types
1. CAT5 / CAT7 cables
2. J-Y (St) 2x2x0.6 (telephone cable)
3. AWG22 (2x2 twisted pair)
Max allowed wire length 1000 m (CAT5/7 500 m).

Shielding
The use of shielded cables is normally not needed but offers high protection against
electromagnetic interferences, especially high frequencies. However, the effectiveness
of the shield depends on careful installation of the line.
If shielded cables are used, the shield should be placed at “PE” on at least one side
(preferably on the master connection). The occurrence of compensating currents may
have to be considered if the shield is contacted on both sides.
Shield connection correct Shield connection incorrect
When using telephone cable with four cable cores, we recommend the following
allocation:
•A (D+) red
•B (D-) black
•ID1 - ID2 yellow
•GND white
Default interface parameter
•Baudrate 19200
•Bits 8
•Parity Even
•Stop bits 1
•Handshake none
Information
The MODBUS register description and the information sheet “Network structure of
MODBUS” can be requested from our Support Department V-STE for control systems -
ventilation.
5.9.2 MODBUS networking and automatic addressing
On the first user that is connected directly to a terminal, MODBUS Master or PC, “GND”
and “ID1” or “ID2” must be bridged. This is recognised as a result and occupied by
address 1.
For the following users the connection “ID1” or “ID2” of a user respectively is connected
with connection “ID1” or “ID2” of the next user.
The automatic addressing of other users is initiated by the previous user via this
connection.
