8.0 Servicing and maintenance
WARNING!
Touching live parts will lead to electric shock.
Before any servicing and maintenance work, isolate the fan from the mains power supply and protect against
being switching on again!
WARNING!
The rotating impeller can crush fingers.
Before any servicing and maintenance work, isolate the unit from the mains power supply and protect against
being switching on again!
– In principle, the units are maintenance-free, there are no user maintenance provisions.
Nevertheless, all necessary maintenance work must be carried out by qualified electricians!
– Excessive deposits of dirt, dust, grease, etc. on the impeller, motor, protection guard and, above all, between the
housing and the impeller, are not permitted, as these can lead to an unbalance in the impeller, overheating of the
motor or the blocking of the impeller. In such cases, the unit must be cleaned
– In cases of longer periods of standstill, maintenance must be carried out when the unit is restarted.
The following must be checked:
• Secure attachment of the fan to the subsurface / system, replace in case of doubt
• Remove contaminant deposits
• Mechanical damage, disconnect unit, replace damaged parts
• Tight fit of screw connections, do not loosen screws in the process!
• Casing quality (cracks, brittleness of the plastic)
• Free movement of the impeller, impeller does not move freely, see Fault causes 8.2
Wear protective gloves when checking unhindered running of impeller!
• Bearing noises
• Vibrations – see Fault causes 8.2
• Current consumption according to type plate – see Fault causes 8.2
8.1 Cleaning
WARNING!
An insulation/installation faults may result in electric shock!
Before cleaning, isolate the fan from the mains power supply and protect against being switching on again!
WARNING!
The unexpected rotating impeller can crush fingers.
Before cleaning, isolate the fan from the mains power supply and protect against being switching on again!
– Clean casing and impeller with a damp cloth
– The motor must not come into contact with water!
– Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that could damage the paintwork!
– High pressure cleaners or water jets are not permitted!
