Translation of the original operating instructions
NOTE
If the device is not operated for a lengthy period in installed
condition in a dry environment, it is to be started up and
operated at full speed for one hour at least every four months. If
the device is not operated for a lengthy period in installed
condition in a damp environment (e.g. outdoors), it is to be
started up and operated at full speed for at least three hours
once a month to move the bearings and allow any condensate
that may have ingressed to evaporate.
Malfunction/fault
Possible cause
Possible remedy
Rotor not running
smoothly
Imbalance in rotating
parts
Clean the device;
replace it if imbalance
persists after cleaning
Motor not turning
Mechanical blockage
Switch off, isolate
from supply and
remove mechanical
blockage.
Line voltage faulty
Check line voltage,
restore power supply.
Attention! The error
message resets
automatically.
Device restarts
automatically without
warning.
Faulty connection
Isolate from supply,
correct connection;
see connection
diagram.
Broken motor winding Replace device
Thermal overload
protector activated
Allow motor to cool
off, locate and rectify
cause of error,
release restart lockout
if necessary
Deficient cooling
Improve cooling. Let
the device cool down.
To reset the error
message, switch off
the line voltage for at
least 25 s and then
switch it on again.
Alternatively, reset
the error message by
applying a control
signal of < 0.5 V to
Din1 or by shorting
Din1 to GND.
Ambient temperature
too high
Reduce the ambient
temperature. Let the
device cool down.
To reset the error
message, switch off
the line voltage for at
least 25 s and then
switch it on again.
Alternatively, reset
the error message by
applying a control
signal of < 0.5 V to
Din1 or by shorting
Din1 to GND.
Impermissible point of
operation (e.g. back
pressure too high)
Correct the operating
point. Let the device
cool down.
To reset the error
message, switch off
the line voltage for at
least 25 s and then
switch it on again.
Alternatively, reset
the error message by
applying a control
signal of < 0.5 V to
Din1 or by shorting
Din1 to GND.

6.1 Cleaning
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunction possible
→ Do not clean the device using a high-pressure cleaner.# Do
not use acid, alkali or solvent-based cleaning agents.
→ Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects for
cleaning.
6.2 Safety inspection
NOTE
High-voltage test
The integrated EMC filter has Y capacitors. The tripping current
is exceeded when AC testing voltage is applied.
→ Test the device with DC voltage when you perform the
legally required high-voltage test. The voltage to be used
corresponds to the peak value of the AC voltage required by
the standard.
