   Systemair recommends to use FK fast clamps to attach the duct to the product. The FK fast clamps are available as an accessory.
   Refer to13 Accessory overview .

3. Tighten the fast clamps (A) around the duct and the product with the supplied screws. Make sure that there is a distance between the duct and the product to decrease vibrations transmitted from the product to the duct system.

4. If you install the product near a duct bend, do these steps to prevent vibrations, unwanted noise and decreased air pressure:

   • A, Measure the distance (A) between the product and the duct bend.
   • B. Make sure that the distance (A) is a minimum of 2.5 x the diameter (B) of the duct system. For circular ducts, (B) is the nominal diameter. For rectangular ducts, (B) is the hydraulic diameter.

Electrical connection

To do before the electrical connection

• Make sure that the electrical connection agrees with the product specification on the motor name plate.
• Make sure that the environment for electrical connection is clean and dry.
• Make sure that the wiring diagram that is included with the supply of the product agrees with the terminals in the connection box.

To connect the product to the power supply

• Complete the electrical connection for the motor. Refer to the motor wiring diagram that is included with the product.
• Make sure that the cross section of the protective earthing is equal to or larger than the cross section of the phase conductor.
• Install a circuit breaker in the permanent electrical installation, with a contact opening of a minimum 3 mm at each pole.
• If a residual current device (RCD) is installed, make sure that it is an all-current sensitive RCD. Consider if the product has a frequency converter or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Speed controller for AC motors
Note:

• The speed controller alternatives are different for different motor types. Make sure that your motor is compatible with the speed controller type before you use it.
• The speed can be controlled by voltage reduction using a transformer. It is also possible to control the fan speed with frequency converter if the installed frequency converter has built in all-pole sine filter and shielded cables are not needed.

To install motor protection for AC motors

• If the product has an built in motor protection, reset by disconnecting the product from power for 60 seconds.
• If the motor has temperature monitors such as thermal contacts (TK) or thermistors lead out into the terminal box, these must always be connected in the control circuit using appropriate motor protection.
• Make sure that an overheated motor cannot start again automatically when it becomes cool.
• Install the motor cables and the temperature monitor apart.
• If the motor does not have temperature monitors, install a motor protection switch.
