ique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Note: If AM-MODBUS-W module or AM-PREMIUM-W module is used and installed by
the user, the FCC/IC label (AM-MODBUS-W inside label for AM-MODBUS-W module,
EM-W inside label for AM-PREMIUM- W module) have to stick on the housing of the
ECblue.
Sticking the AM-MODBUS-W inside label on
the ECblue housing.
Sticking the EM-W inside label on the ECblue
housing.
Note: The modules (AM-MODBUS-W and AM-PREMIUM-W) are stricly limited for the

2 Safety instructions
2.1 Intended use
Attention!
•The fans are only intended for the conveyance of air or mixtures similar to air.
•Any other use above and beyond this is considered not for the intended purpose
unless agreed otherwise by contract. The manufacturer will not be liable for any
damage resulting from this. The individual or company using it bears the sole risk.
•Built-in fans with VDE approval (see rating plate) are designed to be installed inside
devices and are not suitable for the direct mains connection.
•Reading these document and complying with all contained instructions -especially the
safety notifications contained therein -are considered part of intended use.
•To consider is also the documentation of attached components.
2.2 Improper use
Improper use / reasonably foreseeable misuse
•Conveyance of aggressive and explosive gaseous media.
•Use in areas at risk of explosion for conveying gas, mist, vapours or mixtures of the
above.
•Transfer of solids or solids content in the transfer medium.
•Operation with iced up impellers.
•Conveyance of abrasive or adhesive media.
•Conveyance of liquid media.
•Operation of plug fans outside devices.
•Connect built-in fans to open flue pipes of gas and other firing devices.
•Use of the fan and add-on parts (e.g. guard grille) as a resting surface or climbing aid.
–Fans are not designed for walking on even with an additive diffusor attachment
(retrofit kit)! Do not climb onto fans without suitable aids.
•Unauthorised constructional modifications to the fan.
•Operation of the fan as a safety component or for the performance of safety-relevant
functions in the sense of EN ISO 13849-1.
•Blocking or braking of the fan by inserting objects.
•Use with direct contact with foodstuffs or cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
•Use of the fan as an independent household appliance.
•Use as a fire gas or smoke extraction fan (special application according to
DIN EN 12101-3).
•Loosening of fan blade, impeller and balancing weight.
•All applications not listed in the intended use.
Attention!
Not the manufacturer, rather the operator of the device is liable for any personal harm or
material damage arising from non-intended use.

2.3 Explanations of symbols
Safety instructions are highlighted with warning triangles and are depicted
according to the degree of hazard as follows.
Attention!
General hazardous area. Death or severe injury or significant property damage can
occur if the corresponding precautions are not taken!
Danger due to electric current
Danger by dangerous, electric voltage! Death or severe injury can occur if the
corresponding precautions are not taken!
Information
Important additional information and advice for user.
2.4 Product safety
The device conforms to the state of the art at the time of delivery and is fundamentally
considered to be reliable. The device and its accessories must only be used in a flawless
condition and installed and operated in compliance with the assembly instructions and/or
operating instructions. Operating outside the device's technical specifications (see name
plate and attachment / technical data) can lead to a defect in the device and additional
damage!
Information
A separate fault and performance monitoring-system with an alarm signal function is
necessary in order to prevent personal injuries and material damages during malfunc-
tions and in case the device fails. Substitute operation must be taken into consideration!
The design and installation of the system must comply with local regulations and
directives.

2.5 Requirements placed on the personnel / due diligence
Persons entrusted with the planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance and
servicing in connection with the frequency inverter must have the corresponding qual-
ifications and skills for these jobs.
In addition, they must be knowledgeable about the safety regulations, EU/EC directives,
rules for the prevention of accidents and the corresponding national as well as regional
and in-house regulations. Personnel to be trained or instructed and apprentices are only
permitted to work on the device under the supervision of an experienced person. This
also applies to personnel undergoing general training. Comply with the legal minimum
age.
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.
