/s to CFM.
For the fan types AZN and AZW with wire guards, the constant in table 3 must be reduced by
up to 10%. For these fan types without wire guards, the constant is used directly.
For the AZL with wire guards, the constant must be reduced by up to 20%. For this fan type
without wire guards, the constant must be reduced by 10%.
Free inlet cones are integrated on the AZL and is an accessory for the AZN and AZW.
The suction must be directly from the suction chamber.
Fans with low blade angles can make noise at high pressures, which affects the measurement.
Operation close to the stalling area produces poor results also.

Test and
inspection
1
1.The site operator may have set other test intervals. Smoke control fans and other fans, which run infrequently
or in case of emergencies, must be run tested every week, for example during normal operation.
Service and
lubrication
2
2.The motor manufacturer’s recommendations may call for shorter lubrication intervals. See section “6.6 Motors”
on page 16. Please note that fans with permanent magnet motors are lubricated for life.
Cleaning
