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.
•The custom designs must suit the prevailing conditions.
•Tighten the fastenings with the specified torques.
•Any use in ambient temperatures below -10 °C is dependent on not being subjected to unusual,
sudden or mechanical loads or stresses on the material (for the min. permissible ambient
temperature please see the technical data).
•The motor must be installed protected against ultraviolet radiation and electrostatic charging.
•The degree of protection of the contact protection must be at least IP20 on the inlet side and at least
IP10 on the outlet side. For a possible reversing operation, the degree of protection on both sides
must be at least IP20.
WARNING
Parts of the rotor or the entire rotor coming loose in case of a fault (e.g. excessive vibrations)
can result in personal injury and material damage.
"Use guard grilles or suitable design measures for critical applications (e.g. refrigerating systems
with refrigerant subject to the ordinance on hazardous substances).
4.2 Installation, protection from external influences
Install the motor in a housing or in the system with no distortion or tension and protect it against the
effects of external forces and vibrations e.g. transfer of vibrations from other system components
through the foundations or through the connected pipes and ductwork).

6 Commissioning
6.1 Prerequisites for commissioning
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.
•Do not start the fan until all safety instructions (EN 50110, IEC 60364-1)have been checked, the fan
is out of range (EN ISO 13857)and danger can be ruled out.
•A-rated sound power levels of over 80 dB(A) are possible, see product catalogue.
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?
3. That safety devices -if necessary- are mounted (EN ISO 13857)?
4. The impeller is out of reach?
5. Are the drain holes (as far as available) open or respectively closed according to the suitable
installation position?
6. Connection data complies with the specifications on the rating plate?
During start-up check the following:
1. Check the rotat. direction (see the rotat. direction arrow on the fan blade, impeller base plate or
intake-side support plate).
2. 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.
3. Check the system for resonances. If they lead to unacceptably high vibrations on the fan, the
system must not be started up.
4. Fans from ZIEHL-ABEGG SE are delivered balanced in accordance with DIN ISO 21940-11 for
the appropriate fan category in accordance with ISO 14694. Check the fan for mechanical
vibrations after installation. If the limit values of the corresponding fan category are exceeded in
start-up, you must have the motor/impeller unit checked by an expert and rebalanced if necessary
before continuous operation is permitted.
