4. CONNECTION AND START-UP
4.1 Connecting the mechanical system
CAUTION
Cutting and crushing hazard when removing the device
from the packaging
Blades can be bent
→ Carefully remove the device from its packaging, only
touching the wall ring. Make sure to avoid any shock.
→ Wear safety shoes and cut-resistant safety gloves.
NOTE
Damage to device from vibration
Bearing damage, reduced service life
→ Forces or impermissibly high vibration levels must not be
transmitted to the fan from system components.
→ If the fan is connected to air ducts, it should isolated from
vibrations, for example using compensators or similar
elements.
→ Fasten the fan to the substructure without distorting it.
;
Check the device for transport damage. Damaged devices must no
longer be installed.
;
Install the undamaged device according to your application.
CAUTION
Possibility of damage to the device
Serious damage may result if the device slips during assembly.
→ Keep the device fixed in position at the installation location
until all attachment screws have been tightened.
●
The fan must not be strained on fastening.
4.2 Connecting the electrical system
DANGER
Incorrect insulation
Risk of fatal injury from electric shock
→ Use only cables that meet the specified installation
requirements for voltage, current, insulation material, load etc.
→ Route cables such that they cannot be touched by any
rotating parts.
CAUTION
Electrical voltage
The fan is a built-in component and features no electrically
isolating switch.
→ Only connect the fan to circuits that can be switched off with
an all-pole separating switch.
→ When working on the fan, you must switch off the
installation/machine in which the fan is installed and secure it
from being switched on again.
NOTE
Water penetration into leads or wires
Water enters at the cable end on the customers side and can
damage the device.
→ Make sure that the cable end is connected in a dry
environment.
Connect the device only to circuits that can be switched off
using an all-pole disconnecting switch.
4.2.1 Prerequisites
;
Check that the data on the type plate match the connection data.
;
Before connecting the device, ensure that the supply voltage matches
the operating voltage of the device.
;
Only use cables designed for current according to the type plate.
For determining the cross-section, follow the basic principles in
accordance with EN 61800-5-1. The protective earth must have a
cross-section equal to or greater than the outer conductor cross-
section.
We recommend the use of 105°C cables. Ensure that the minimum
cable cross-section is at least
AWG26/0.13 mm².
4.2.2 Idle current
Because of the EMC filter integrated for compliance with EMC
limits (interference emission and interference immunity), idle
currents in the mains cable can be measured even when the
motor is at a standstill and the mains voltage is switched on.
●
The values are typically in the range < 50 mA
●
At the same time, the effective power in this operating state
(operational readiness) is typically < 2 W.
4.2.3 Locked-rotor protection
Due to the locked-rotor protection, the start-up current (LRA) is
equal to or less than the nominal current (FLA).
4.3 Routing connection lines
No water may run along the cable towards the cable exit.
Fans installed lying flat

;
Make sure the cable is routed in a U-shaped loop.
Fans installed in upright position
