6. MAINTENANCE, MALFUNCTIONS, POSSIBLE
CAUSES AND REMEDIES
Do not perform any repairs on your device. Return the device to ebm-
papst for repair or replacement.
WARNING
Terminals and connections have voltage even with a
unit that is shut off
Electric shock
→ Wait five minutes after disconnecting the voltage at all poles
before opening the device.
CAUTION
If control voltage is applied or a speed setpoint is stored,
the motor will restart automatically, e.g. after power
failure.
Risk of injury
→ Keep out of the device danger zone.# When working on the
device, switch off the mains power and ensure that it cannot
be switched back on.
→ After working on the device, remove any tools used or
other objects from the device.
If the device remains out of use for some time, e.g. when in
storage, we recommend switching the device on for at least
two hours to allow any condensate to evaporate and to move
the bearings.
Malfunction/error
Possible cause
Possible remedy
Impeller running
roughly
Imbalance in rotating
parts
Clean the device; if
imbalance is still
evident after cleaning,
replace the device.
If you have
attached any weight
clips during cleaning,
make sure to remove
them afterwards.
Motor does not turn
Mechanical blockage
Switch off, de-
energise, and
remove mechanical
blockage.
Mains supply voltage
faulty
Check mains supply
voltage,
restore power
supply,
apply control signal.
Faulty connection
De-energise, correct
connection, see
connection diagram.
Overtemperature of
electronics/motor
Insufficient cooling
Improve cooling. Let
the device cool down.
To reset the error
message, switch off
the mains supply
voltage for a min. of
25 s and switch it on
again.
Ambient temperature
too high
Reduce the ambient
temperature.
Reset by reducing
control input to 0.
Unacceptable
operating point
Correct the operating
point. Let the device
cool down.
If you have any other problems, contact ebm-papst.
6.1 Cleaning
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunction possible
→ Do not clean the device using a water jet or high-pressure
cleaner.# Do not use any acid, alkali or solvent-
basedcleaning agents.# Do not use any pointed or sharp-
edged objects for cleaning
6.2 Safety test
NOTE
High-voltage test
The integrated EMC filter contains Y capacitors. Therefore, the
trigger current is exceeded when AC testing voltage is applied.
→ Test the device with DC voltage when you carry out the
high-voltage test required by law. The voltage to be used
corresponds to the peak value of the AC voltage required by
the standard.

accidental
contact for
damage and to
ensure that it is
intact
