5. INSTALLATION
After fan has been delivered but before fitting and installation, check condition of the consignment: in the event of
discrepancy or damage to the machine, the manufacturer or carrier must be informed immediately.
WARNING
Fitting and installation of the fan must be performed by specialized personnel, in order to prevent
damage to the equipment or hazards to people as a result of faulty fitting.
Fitting the fan must be carried out according to the following stages:
•
positioning and anchoring the fan;
•
connection to the mains electricity supply;
•
operational testing and putting into operation.
5.1 Choice of site and checking installation requirements
The user is responsible for preparing an area suitable for installation of the equipment and complying with the requirements
laid down by European directives and national law governing safety at places of work.
Environmental conditions for operating the equipment are as follows:
Ambient temperature during operation
Ambient humidity during operation
- 15°C / + 40 °C
< 90%
For operation of fan installation, a manoeuvring area must be made available that is suitable for the fan dimensions and
the chosen lifting equipment: electrical points must be provided in the installation area for fan connection to the mains
electricity supply.
WARNING
The fans must be installed at a height of not less than 2.7 m from the ground. If they are installed at
a lower height, the fans must be fitted with the optional pyramidal safety mesh by the manufacturer, to protect the
internal rotor.
Failure to install the safety mesh releases the manufacturer from all liability and shall be considered an improper use of
the machine.
WARNING
There must be no obstacle neither in front or behind the fans. The outgoing airflow must be kept free
at least of a length of 3-times fan diameter and the ingoing airflow must be kept free at least in a radius of 1.5 m
distance in front of the fan.
Irrespective of the place of installation, suitable indelible warning signs are attached to the fan, warning of danger and
giving instructions to remain at a safe distance not to place hands inside the shutter and not to run in proximity of the fan.
The warning signs are yellow, self-adhesive and indelible. They are fitted to the front and rear of the fan, and marked with
the numbers A-1997 and B-1997 (see fig.10).
The area adjacent to the fan in the premises from which air is being extracted must be kept clear to allow the air to exit
freely. It is also prohibited for anyone to remain in this area, because of the presence of organic gases and dust which may
be present in the airflow.
