1.6 Blowing e
ff
ect
Warning!
The blowing e
ff
ect is very powerful on the ex-
haust side. Sucked in objects may be ejected at
very high speed (danger of injury).
The blowers are designed for delivery of clean
air only. To reliably prevent the sucking-in of
foreign objects or contaminants, which might be
discharged, these objects have to be removed be-
fore entering into the blower by installing a
fi
lter.
Do not reach into the exhaust.
1.7 Temperature
Warning!
The blower housing assumes the temperature
of the conveyed medium during operation. If the
temperature of the conveyed medium is above
+50°C, the blower must be protected against
direct contact by the operator
(risk of burn injury).
Warning!
The motor housing heats up during operation. If
this rises to above +50°C, the owner must protect
the blower against direct contact
(risk of burning!).
In the case of high-power models in particular, the tempera-
ture of the conveyed medium can increase as it
fl
ows from
the intake side to the exhaust side. The temperature di
ff
er-
ence can be in the region of up to +20°C, depending on the
operating conditions. This varies from one model to another.
1.8 Motor circuit breaker
Before putting the blower into operation, be sure to safeguard
the drive motor with a motor circuit-breaker (this does not
apply to frequency-converter-operated appliances). Where
appliances are frequency-converter-operated, the existing
temperature sensor (PTC resistor sensor) or temperature
switch (normally closed contact) must be connected to the
converter and evaluated.
1.9 Noise emission
Note!
Wear hearing protection during operation at a
daily exposure level of 80 dB(A) and above, and/
or a peak sound pressure level of 135 dB(C) and
above.
Failure to do so may cause hearing damage.
The noise generated by a blower is not constant throughout
the performance range. For details of noise emission levels,
please refer to the table on page Seite 20.
In some cases, sound insulation may be necessary (it is rec-
ommended that emission levels be measured by the opera-
tor). Sound insulation must be provided by the operator to
avoid exceeding the statutory maximum levels at the work-
place and in the immediate vicinity of the blower.
No sound insulation of any kind whatsoever should cause
the ambient temperature to 40°C at the drive motor
(this is not permissible).
1.10 Electrical hazards
Danger!
Danger from electric current!
Live components carry current and cause fatal
injuries!
Deactivate the device before opening it, reaching
into it or inserting tools into it; check that compo-
nents are not live and secure it against reactiva-
tion.
1.11 Speeds
Warning!
The maximum speed stamped on the motor rating
plate must never be exceeded in order to prevent
personal injury. The blower is at risk of mechani-
cal damage if the speed is exceeded.
This can cause serious injury or death!
Each component on the blower has unique natural frequen-
cies. These can be induced by certain blower speeds, which
may result in resonance mode.
The blowers are designed in such a way that resonance does
not generally occur at a constant operating speed.
This may be induced in certain circumstances when the
speed is changed if the blower is operated on a frequency
converter. These circumstances are also in
fl
uenced by the
customer’s individual installation situation or ventilation con-
nection.
These natural frequencies must be excluded by parametris-
ing the frequency converter accordingly should they be pre-
sent within the speed range of the blower.

2 INFORMATION ON TRANSPORT,
HANDLNG AND STORAGE OF THE
MACHINE
2.1 Transportation and handling
• Before installation and putting into service, check all parts
for transit damage. A damaged blower is a potential safety
hazard and, therefore, should not be put into service.
• Do not leave the blower unprotected in the open
(protect against ingress of moisture).
• Attach hoisting gear securely. Only use hoists and load
suspension devices with su
ffi
cient load-carrying capacity.
Secure the route of transportation.
