2 Safety
Throughout the fan’s life cycle, to prevent personal injury
and damage to peripherals or the fan itself, strict compli-
ance with the following safety instructions is required:
2.1 General
The fan is designed for industrial use and
must be handled by personnel with industrial
training. The fan is not designed for use in a
domestic or similar environment.
The fan is designed for transporting clean air
and air containing certain types and volu-
mes of chemically aggressive gases (contact
the manufacturer for further information
about the latter). The fan must not be used
to transport explosive gases, solid particles,
liquids, substances that can result in wear, or
compounds that might react chemically with
the structure of the fan (see
). The minimum permissible
temperature for the transported medium is
-20°C. The maximum temperature is indica-
ted on the rating plate.
The fan is not designed for outdoor use.
This means it must not be exposed to snow,
rain or excessive sunlight. The fan must not
be installed in an environment containing
explosive gases, wear-inducing, chemically
aggressive or viscous substances, liquids or
substances with high humidity. The minimum
ambient temperature is -15°C. The maximum
temperature is indicated on the rating place.
The fan must not be exposed to radiation
(such as microwaves, UV, laser or X-rays).
2.2 Moving parts
Beware of the fan’s moving parts, as con-
tact with them can result in serious injury
and may prove fatal. Under no circumstan-
ces may the fan be used, unless sufficient
protection against moving parts has been
provided at the time of installation.
2.3 Suction
The fan produces significant suction, with the
result that clothes, hair, loose objects and
body parts can be easily drawn into the fan.
Never allow any part of the body or loo-
se-fitting clothing to be in the vicinity of the
inlet. The fan must be secured and protected
in such a way as to prevent any damage or
injury as a result of the suction it produces.
2.4 Flying objects
The energy level of the air at the fan outlet
is extremely high. Particles and small objects
that reach the fan can therefore be expel-
led at very high speeds. The fan is of safe
design, but if damaged or used incorrectly,
parts (involving high kinetic energy) may be
ejected from the fan at very high speeds.
Check the surroundings of the inlet carefully,
both before and during use, to ensure that
there are no loose objects in the vicinity.
Make sure too that there is no one in the
direction of the airflow at either the outlet or
the inlet.
Similarly, no one should approach the mo-
tor’s cooling panel with their fingers, hair or
other objects, as there is a risk of injury. Do
not start the fan unless the inlet and outlet
are secure and protected, and make sure
moving parts are protected.
2.5 Sharp edges
During the manufacturing process, the edges
of the fan are ground back, but sharp edges
may still occur, representing a risk of injury
through laceration. Protective gloves are
recommended when handling the fan.
2.6 Secure mounting
The fan is very heavy. If the fan is not care-
fully fixed in place, it can cause uncontrolled
movements. The fan may only be put into
service after thorough and careful installa-
tion.
2.7 Sound level
The loudness of the fan depends on its ope-
rating point. Check the loudness of the fan
and, if necessary, use noise-absorbing acces-
sories and/or personal hearing protection.
2.8 Fire and transport of inappropriate media
In the event of fire or transport of the wrong
medium, the fan can generate air which is
harmful to health.
