Important safety information
This chapter contains important safety information for protection of staff and for safe, risk-free operation.
NOTE
We have held a risk assessment for the fans. However, it can only apply to the fans themselves. After
integration and installation of the fans, we recommend holding a risk assessment for the entire system.
In this way, you have the guarantee that no potential risk results from the system.
Compliance with EMC Directive 89/336/EEC only relates to these products when they have been con-
nected directly to the customary energy supply mains.
If this product is integrated into a unit or completed and operated with other components (e.g. regula-
tion and control devices), the manufacturer or operator of the entire system is responsible for compliance
with EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.
