1.3 Hazards arising from reaching in and unexpected
start-up
The rotating parts inside the appliance pose a high risk of
injury during operation. Before opening, reaching in or insert-
ing tools into the appliance, always shut it down and wait
until all moving parts come to a standstill. Make sure the ap-
pliance is reliably protected against restarting while work is
in progress.
Also make sure that no hazardous situation can occur as a
consequence of restarting after shutdown, e.g. as a result of
a power cut or blockage.
1.4 Weight and stability
Beware of falling hazards during transportation and installa-
tion in particular. Refer to "2.1 Transportation and handling",
as well as "3.2 Installation and assembly".
1.5 Suction eff ect
The blowers produce a powerful suction eff ect.
Warning!
Objects, items of clothing and also hair can be
sucked into the intake port. Risk of injury!
Do not stand near the intake opening during op-
eration. The blower must not under any circum-
stances be operated with the intake port open,
and should, therefore, be covered with a wire
guard in conformity with DIN EN ISO 13857
(danger of injury from impeller!).
1.6 Blowing eff ect
Warning!
The blowing eff 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 this
is above +50° C, the blower must be protected
against direct contact by the operator
(risk of burning!).
Warning!
The motor housing heats up during operation. If
the temperature rises above +50 °C, the blower
must be protected by the operating company
against direct contact
(risk of burning!).
Operating and assembly instructions ND
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 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 exceed +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 infl 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.
