Translation of the original operating instructions
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.
Important! The error
message resets
automatically.
The device starts up
again automatically
without advance
warning.
Faulty connection
De-energise, correct
connection, see
connection diagram.
Motor winding broken Replace device
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.
Alternatively, reset
the error message by
applying a control
signal of <0.5 V to
DIN1 or by short
circuiting Din1 to
GND.
Ambient temperature
too high
Reduce the ambient
temperature. 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.
Alternatively, reset
the error message by
applying a control
signal of <0.5 V to
DIN1 or by short
circuiting Din1 to
GND.
Unacceptable
operating point (e.g.
counterpressure is
too high)
Correct the operating
point. 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.
Alternatively, reset
the error message by
applying a control
signal of <0.5 V to
DIN1 or by short
circuiting Din1 to
GND.

6.1 Vibration test
Checking the fan for mechanical vibrations based on ISO 14694.
Recommendation: every 6 months. Maximum vibration severity is 3.5
mm/s measured at the motor’s fastening diameter on the motor support
plate towards and perpendicular to the motor’s axis of rotation.
Fig. 3: Example showing vibration measurement. Positioning of the
sensors will vary depending on the device and the circumstances of
installation.
6.2 Cleaning
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning
Malfunction possible
→ Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean the device.# Do
not use any acid, alkali or solvent-based cleaning agents.
→ Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects for cleaning
