4.0 Maintenance and repairs
4.1 Make sure that there are no explosive gases in the area
around the heater, before commencing and during any
repairs and maintenance.
4.2 Follow any applicable regulations concerning work in
explosive gas environments.
4.3 If there is a need for replacement of the components, those
are to be ordered from VEAB Heat Tech AB.
The use of other components may affect the validity of the
certifications.
4.4 The heater elements of a VFL-EX are mounted at the
bottom of the junction box, and can be replaced without
dismantling the frame from the duct system.
4.5 No specific maintenance is required except periodical
maintenance and function tests. See also section 3.6.
5.0 Overheating/Resetting
The heater is equipped with temperature limiters and
thermostat that is fail-safe, i.e. if the capillary tube should
rupture, the safety circuits are automatically tripped. This
safety function also means that the temperature limiter is
sensitive to shocks during transport. Before the heater is
used, perform a manual reset of the temperature limiter.
See figure 1 below.
If the temperature limiter with manual reset has tripped
during use, the following must be carried out:
5.1 Turn off the power supply.
5.2 Do a careful search for the cause that has tripped the
temperature limiter, and correct it.
5.3 When the cause has been corrected, reset the temperature
limiter in the junction box of the heater.
