Translation of the original operating instructions
CAUTION
Electric charge on capacitor after device is switched off
Electric shock, risk of injury
→ Discharge the capacitors before working on the device.
WARNING
Live terminals and connections even with device
switched off
Electric shock
→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles
before opening the device.
CAUTION
In the event of a fault, the rotor and the impeller will be
energized
The rotor and the impeller have basic insulation.
→ Do not touch the rotor and impeller once installed.
CAUTION
The motor restarts automatically when operating voltage
is applied, e.g. after a power failure.
Risk of injury
→ Keep out of the motor's danger zone.
→ When working on the motor, switch off the line voltage
and ensure that it cannot be switched back on.
→ Wait until the motor comes to a stop.
1.5 Mechanical movement
WARNING
Rotating device
Long hair and dangling items of clothing, jewelry and the like
can become entangled and be pulled into the device. Injuries
can result.
→ Do not wear any loose-fitting or dangling clothing or jewelry
while working on rotating parts.
→ Protect long hair with a cap.
WARNING
Ejected parts
If the motor is operated with attached fan blades, missing
protective devices may allow balancing weights or broken fan
blades to be ejected and cause injuries.
→ Take appropriate safety measures such as installing guard
grilles.
→ Keep out of the exhaust zone.
1.6 Hot surface
CAUTION
High temperature on motor housing
Risk of burns
→ Ensure sufficient protection against accidental contact.
1.7 Transport
CAUTION
Transporting the motor
Crushing hazard
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
→ Transport the motor in its original packaging only.
→ Secure the device so it cannot slip, e.g. by using a
lashing strip.

2. INTENDED USE
The device is designed exclusively for use as a drive motor.
Any other usage above and beyond this does not conform with the
intended purpose and constitutes misuse of the device.
Customer equipment must be capable of withstanding the mechanical
and thermal stresses that can arise from this product. This applies for the
entire service life of the equipment in which this product is installed.
Intended use also includes
●
Using the device within the permitted ambient temperature range; see
Chapter 3.5 Transport and storage conditions and
Chapter 3.2 Nominal data.
●
Operating the device with all protective devices.
●
Following the operating instructions.
●
operating the device only with mounted impeller.
Improper use
In particular, operating the device in the following ways is prohibited and
could be hazardous:
●
Resonant operation, operation with severe vibration/oscillation. This
also includes vibration transmitted to the motor from the customer
installation.
●
Operation in medical equipment with a life-sustaining or life-support
function.
●
Conveying solids in the flow medium.
●
Painting the device
●
Connections (e.g. screws) coming loose during operation.
●
Conveying air that contains abrasive particles.
●
Conveying highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray. Exception: devices
designed for salt spray and correspondingly protected.
