4. CONNECTION AND STARTUP
4.1 Mechanical connection
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing device
from packaging
Blades can bend
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, by the fan
housing. Strictly avoid shocks.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
NOTE
Damage to the device from vibration
Bearing damage, shorter service life
→ The fan must not be subjected to force or excessive vibration
from sections of the installation.
→ If the fan is connected to air ducts, the connection should
be isolated from vibration, e.g. using compensators or similar
elements.
→ Ensure stress-free attachment of the fan to the
substructure.
;
Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices are not to
be installed.
;
Install the undamaged device in accordance with your application.
CAUTION
Possible damage to the device
If the device slips during installation, serious damage can result.
→ Ensure that the device is securely positioned at its place of
installation until all fastening screws have been tightened.
●
The fan must not be strained on fastening.
4.2 Electrical connection
CAUTION
Voltage
The fan is a built-in component and has no disconnecting switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole disconnection switch.
→ When working on the fan, secure the system/machine in
which the fan is installed so as to prevent it from being
switched back on.
NOTE
Water ingress into wires or cables
Water ingress at the customer end of the cable can damage the
device.
→ Make sure the end of the cable is connected in a dry
environment.
Operate the device with a safely isolated power supply.
4.2.1 Requirements
;
Check whether the information on the nameplate matches the
connection data.
;
Before connecting the device, make sure the power supply matches
the device voltage.
;
Only use cables designed for the current level indicated on the
nameplate.
For determining the cross-section, note the sizing criteria according
to EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a cross-section
equal to or greater than that of the phase conductor.
We recommend the use of 105 °C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG 26 / 0.13 mm².
4.3 Routing of cables
It must not be possible for water to run along the cable towards the cable
exit.
Fans installed lying flat
Fig. 1: Fan installed lying flat, cable routed in a U-shaped loop.
;
Make sure the cable is routed in a U-shaped loop.
Fans installed upright
Fig. 2: Cable routing for fans installed upright. The cables must always
be routed downward.
NOTE
Cable routing is to be performed accordingly if use is made of
the ESM plug-in module to connect the fan.
