Safety Precautions
The
BFS-i10
bearingless fan is designed to be used in industrial production machines and equipment
containing ventilation circuits. Typical applications are semiconductor and chemical manufacturing equipment.
Installation shall be done by qualified personnel only. Following safety precautions and a
ll “CAUTION”,
“WARNING” and “DANGER” indications in the relevant sections shall be followed.
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances open the fan. Levitronix
®
does not assume
responsibility for any damage occurring under such circumstances.
CAUTION
High magnetic field strength of fan rotor.
The fan rotor contains magnets with high field strength. This may alter or
damage the calibration of sensitive electronic devices and measuring
instruments in the immediate surroundings. Keep at a safe distance from
computers, monitors and all magnetic data storage media (e.g. disks, credit
cards, audio and video tapes etc.)
CAUTION
Revolving fan rotor.
The fan rotor operates at high rotational speeds. It may cause injury if fingers,
hands, hair, clothes, etc. are getting in touch with the revolving fan rotor. Do not
touch the fan rotor while it is moving.
!
WARNING
Hazardous voltage may be present.
In case of usage of an inadequate AC/DC power supply, mains voltages may be
present (even if the system is designed for 48 VDC). The usage of a galvanically
separated power supply, which is certified by a 3
rd
party (UL or CE), is required.
Do not under any circumstances open the powered fan.
!
WARNING
High magnetic field strength of fan rotor if removed from motor.
The fan rotor contains magnets with high field strength. If removed from motor,
pacemakers may be influenced, and magnetic forces may lead to contusions.
Only remove rotor if necessary. Keep distance to pacemakers and handle fan
rotor with care.
!
WARNING
TOXIC CHEMICALS may be present.
When using the system to ventilate chemicals, skin contact and toxic gases may
be hazardous to your health. Wear safety gloves and other appropriate safety
equipment.
