commissioning.
Th e equipment must be installed and maintained properly
by qualifi ed personnel who have study this user instruction.
Dustcontrol does not take responsibility for defective instal-
lation or maintenance.
Warning! When using electric machines, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fi re, electric shock and personal injury, including the
following:
1.
Work area environment
Keep the area around the central unit clean. Do not
store or work with fl ammable liquids or gases near
the machine.
2.
Overload
If there is an alarm signal it should be carefully
checked out to see that the machine is un damaged. If
there are any damaged parts these should be repaired
by a Dustcontrol authorized service centre. Always
follow the regulations pertinent to the material you
are working with. Do not use the machine for pur-
poses that it is not intended for.
3.
Bodily injuries
Warning - High negative pressure
Do not start the fan without having it connected to
the duct work. Never let the suction come in contact
with parts of the body, for example a hand. The pump
generates a high negative pressure, severe injury may
result.
Description
Dustcontrols fans are so called radial fans. The air is
introduced into the fan at the centre of the fan wheel
and is forced outward to the fan housing and through
the outlet by the centrifugal force. The pressure is
generated in two stages.
The fans are direct driven with maintenance free
motors. Lubrication points are available on the motor
if specifi ed when ordering.
Warning - Very hot exhaust air
Exhaust air can be very hot.
4.
Electricity
A separate lockable disconnect must be installed
where it is readily accessible to the pump. Do not re-
pair the electric compo-nents yourself, get somebody
qualifi ed. Faults may cause injury. The electrical
connections may only be performed by a certifi ed
electrician. See also under section 7, 'Warning'.
5.
Important measure
The electrical disconnect should be locked in the
"off" position before demounting the safety panels
or ducting.
6.
Checking for damage
Check the machine regularly for damage. If there
are any damaged parts these should be repaired by a
Dustcontrol authorized service centre.
7.
Warning
Use only accessories and replaceable parts which
are available in Dustcontrol catalogue. When using
non-genuine parts, especially fi lters and plastic sacks,
dust leaks could occur which may be hazardous to
health.
The fan is equipped with vibration isolators and
hith quality sound insulation. External inline silen-
cing on the outlet can be installed.
The fan is maintenance free unless the motor is
equipped with lubrication points. In this case the
manufacturers guidelines should be followed.
